What is the difference between massage cream and exfoliation?

Massage can relieve body pain and fatigue, so proper massage is also good for the body. Similarly, massaging your facial skin can also promote blood circulation and make you more beautiful. When massaging, we usually apply a layer of massage cream to protect the skin. So what is the difference between the daily massage cream and the exfoliating cream?

Massage cream is mainly used to promote blood circulation and metabolism of the skin, and massage is done to prevent skin aging and sagging. Exfoliation, as the name suggests, is to remove dead skin on the surface of the skin, so that subsequent nutrients can be better absorbed.

Massage cream combined with massage can deeply cleanse the skin; promote facial blood circulation, help nutrients penetrate and absorb; moisturize the skin and provide moisture and nutrition to the skin. Different massage creams combined with different techniques have different effects, such as whitening, hydrating, anti-wrinkle, detoxification, etc. Massage creams generally contain a higher amount of oil and can be rubbed on the face for a longer time than other skin care products. For this reason, they must be cleaned promptly after the massage to prevent clogging of the pores, formation of oil particles, or allergies.

How is skin keratin produced?

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. There is a saying that the skin metabolism cycle of women over the age of 28 increases by one year every year. For example, I am 34 years old and my skin metabolism cycle has become 34 days. If you don't exercise or have other diseases, your metabolic cycle will be slower.

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.
