Our skin naturally sheds skin cells through a process called desquamation. This process occurs every 28-40 days on average, depending on your age. Exfoliation ensures that you remove these dead skin cells so your pores are clear and your skin texture remains smooth.
If we over exfoliate, our skin can feel tight, rough and dehydrated. It can also lead to increased sensitivity and itchy patches.
It is important not to strip the natural hydration from the cells which haven’t turned over yet.
To exfoliate properly, apply a small amount of product to your fingertips and use light pressure. Exfoliation is recommended 1-2 times a week.
My favorite exfoliation product is, Sugar Face Polish from Fresh, since it is hydrating and smells yummy! I love that it contains real strawberry seeds.
Exfoliation is so important, therefore one of the main steps included in my face massage sessions is a natural exfoliation technique.
Here’s to great skin!
