Our lives are nothing like the videos we find on YouTube or any other streaming site. They cannot be paused or rewound. So, as much as many of us would like to turn back the hands of time, there will never be a time when we are younger than we are now.
Aging, however, shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing. After all, we all want to live long lives, don’t we? We have no control over the fact that we all must age. We can, however, do something about the signs of aging. It’s called exfoliation. It is the process of removing old, dead skin cells from the skin’s surface to reveal fresh, smooth skin underneath.
It’s often said that you can tell one’s age in his or her eyes.
Those crow’s feet, among other fine lines and wrinkles, often express to others that we’re getting up there in the age category. This makes up one of the most important reasons to exfoliate our skin. There’s no question that exfoliation is a very important part of our regular skin care routines. If you don’t want to look your age, you will take this task quite seriously.
You see, the older we get, the harder it is for our bodies to generate new skin cells when our old ones shed. Exfoliation helps us to maintain youthful appearances as it works to remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. Proper exfoliation removes the barrier of dead skin cells that clog the skin and uncovers fresh new cells below.
Exfoliation allows for our skin to better absorb moisturizers.
By exfoliating, you give your face the opportunity to better absorb the skin care products that help to keep it smooth. HealthyDietBase.com champions the act of exfoliating because of this reason. “It reveals the smoother, younger-looking skin underneath all the gunk piled on top of your skin,” says the site, “After a good scrub down, your favourite skin care and body care products will sink into the skin like a dream!”
Exfoliation also helps to fade blemishes. By removing accumulated layers of dead skin cells, the process diminishes that blotchy look that comes with clogged pores and acne. The fresher, younger-looking skin underneath gets its chance to shine! “In the end, the skin looks so much clearer and smoother after a good scrub,” reports HealthyDietBase.com, “It also removes dark spots by encouraging the formation of non-scarred skin cells.”
There are many different ways to exfoliate.
Choosing the best method will depend on your complexion as well as your skin’s health and sensitivity. Chemical peels stimulate new tissue, can improve acne-prone skin, decrease fine lines and wrinkles and treat hyperpigmentation and signs of aging. Like you, every peel is unique. They vary in terms of ingredients, concentrations and the pH of their formulations.
