Exfoliating products

If you love beauty, you must want to have a smooth and beautiful skin. However, there are many reasons that cause the skin to produce keratin, which is commonly known as peeling. Among them, staying up late, excessive stress, poor natural environment, and irregular diet can all cause keratinization on the skin. When it comes to exfoliation, many people want to choose an exfoliating product that is suitable for their skin. However, there are too many exfoliating products on the market, and each one is described so well. Therefore, you must choose carefully.

So is exfoliating product suitable for everyone? The answer is no. Some skin types are not suitable for any exfoliating products, so it is important to understand this group of people. Don't blindly follow and believe in advertisements. Here are some people who don’t need to use exfoliating products:

Epidermal cells are produced from the deepest part of the epidermis (the basal layer) and push outward layer by layer. When they reach the outermost layer of the epidermis (the stratum corneum), their "life ends" and they fall off naturally as dandruff. This process is what is commonly referred to as the 28-day cycle, but as you age, this cycle will naturally lengthen. If there are too many "old dead cells" that "die but do not retreat", and the "new dead cells" that still have a breath of "freshness of life" cannot come through, the skin will appear dull, rough, and lifeless, and exfoliation is needed.

Younger skin

Healthy young skin has a youthful radiance and the metabolism of keratinocytes is normal, so there is no need to exfoliate specifically. Even if you look tired occasionally, or get exposed to the sun due to insufficient sun protection, making your skin look a little dark and stuffy, you will recover quickly as long as you get a good rest.

Careful skin care

Even if you are not very young, you can still take good care of your skin by removing makeup and cleansing your face every day to cleanse your skin gently and thoroughly (the aged cuticle on the surface will be naturally removed); the skin care products you use can "enhance cell vitality" and "promote metabolism"; and you can use moisturizing/whitening/nutritional masks for deep care every week to make your skin soft, moisturized and shiny. There is also no need to exfoliate specifically. Only those with extremely oily, thick and rough skin (mostly men) need to use a cleansing mask regularly. When you first start to care for your mature skin that has never been cared for, or when your mature skin appears dull and rough due to excessive work, you can promote skin renewal by exfoliating, but you still don't need to exfoliate regularly and continuously.

Acne skin

Many people think that acne and blackheads are caused by excessive oil secretion and clogged pores, so they use cleansing masks to enhance exfoliation. Actually, it is not. The occurrence of acne and blackheads is largely due to changes in the metabolism of sex hormones. Diet, lifestyle habits, environment, etc. may all cause this influence. Many girls get acne during their menstrual period because the level of estrogen, which inhibits sebum secretion, decreases during this period, while the level of androgen, which stimulates sebum secretion, increases relatively. But this is only reflected in a very local area on the skin. Experts say that the hyperkeratinization of acne-prone skin is limited to the hyperkeratinization of cells in the sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles, while the keratin metabolism of other skin areas remains normal. Therefore, special exfoliation is not required. You only need to use special acne-removing products to unclog the keratin accumulation in the pores and to fight bacteria and inflammation.

Red bloodshot skin

Whether it is dry or oily, the skin with red blood streaks is a skin with a very thin epidermis (the tiny blood vessels in the dermis can be seen) and damaged hydrolipid film barrier function, so it is particularly susceptible to external invasion and causes irritation and allergies. For this kind of skin, do not exfoliate even if the skin test shows that there is dead skin cell. Because skin with damaged barrier function is like a piece of clothing with holes; but even torn clothes can at least "keep out the cold" (protect against external damage). Before the "new clothes" are made, don't cut off those sparse "torn whiskers" (old dead skin cells). Blindly exfoliating will damage your skin. The skin needs metabolism, and some old and dead cells on the surface of the skin will remain.

The above introduces people who do not need to use exfoliating products. I hope this group of people will not believe in advertisements. Natural beauty is more charming. If you use exfoliating products, it may make your skin worse than before, which is unnecessary. I believe that after understanding the above introduction, you should know whether you need exfoliating products.
