How often should you exfoliate?

Our body is metabolizing every moment. Now many people have bad living habits and eating habits, which affects the skin's metabolism. This often causes a layer of dead skin to form on the skin. Dead skin will not only affect the appearance but also affect the normal breathing of the skin. Therefore, exfoliation is necessary at certain times.

Why exfoliate?

Modern people often slow down their metabolism due to exposure to deteriorating external environmental conditions, unbalanced diet, irregular lifestyle, staying up late, smoking, drinking, emotional factors and other factors. Abnormal metabolism prevents keratin cells from falling off naturally, and they accumulate thickly on the surface, causing rough and dull skin. The skin care products applied are often blocked by this overly thick barrier and cannot be absorbed by the living cells below. Therefore, we need to prevent the thickening of the cuticle. The surface of the skin metabolizes every week. Excessive accumulation of dead skin cells on the skin will cause a burden on the skin. Therefore, exfoliation is used to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin and let the skin breathe again.

Different skin types have different exfoliation cycles

Oily skin

Oily skin has a very strong oil secretion, which can easily clog the pores. It is recommended that oily skin exfoliate once a week. You can use products such as scrub to remove aging cuticles on the surface of the skin. Makes skin more refreshed.

Combination skin

Combination skin usually has an oily T-zone and slightly drier cheeks. It is recommended to exfoliate combination skin once every two weeks and once a week in summer. When exfoliating, focus on massaging the T-zone area. Gently brush across the cheeks.

Dry skin

Dry skin has a thin stratum corneum and is easily sensitive and fragile. It is recommended to exfoliate dry skin once every two weeks. When choosing products, try to choose gel-based products and avoid using large-particle scrubs to avoid causing damage to the skin.

Exfoliation precautions

1. Cleanse your face correctly

Before exfoliating, you should clean your face first to remove excess dirt and oil on your face. After cleansing, the skin still retains moisture, and exfoliating at this time can make the skin appear white and translucent.

2. Do not use multiple exfoliating products at the same time

There are many types of exfoliating products, and the methods of use are also different. If you use multiple exfoliating products at the same time, it will damage the skin's protective layer and aggravate skin hairiness.

3. Choose the right exfoliating product

Everyone's skin type is different, and exfoliating products are targeted at different skin types. For example, oily skin should choose exfoliating products with strong cleansing power, while neutral and dry skin should choose mild exfoliating products.
