Why is it important to exfoliate the face?
Facial exfoliation is a very important aesthetic task for facial skin, since in general terms it allows to eliminate all accumulated dead cells and provide a greater softness and shine to the skin, as well as help to hide scars and marks.
With exfoliation, the skin of the face can carry out its cell regeneration process correctly, resulting in a much more oxygenated and moisturized dermis. Among the main benefits of exfoliation , the ones we list below stand out:
- Cleaner, silkier, more radiant and beautiful skin.
- Elimination of all impurities and prevention of the formation of new ones.
- It reactivates the blood microcirculation of the area, which also helps to eliminate accumulated fluids and prevent swelling.
- Reduces excessive sebum production and prevents the appearance of shine on the face.
- Facial treatments and moisturizing and anti-aging creams work much better on exfoliated skin, as their active ingredients can fully penetrate it.
For all these reasons, it is recommended to exfoliate the skin of the face at least once a week, although this frequency may vary depending on your skin type and its needs:
Dry skin: a weekly exfoliation using a mild exfoliator will suffice.
Oily skin: twice a week to remove excess oil.
Sensitive skin: once every 15 days with a hypoallergenic scrub.
