The Importance of Exfoliating Your Skin - Meraki Holistic Beauty Center

1. WHAT IS EXFOLIATION? Exfoliation is the removal of dead cells from the outermost surface of your skin by physical or chemical methods. Skin cells experience a lot of wear and tear due to environmental exposure. The dead cells of your skin are shed off naturally and are constantly replaced by new skin cells growing underneath. This is known as cellular turnover and normally takes 28 to 45 days in an average adult. However, dead cells shed by your skin can get deposited on the skin surface. This can lead to an uneven skin tone or even acne breakouts. Including a well-chosen exfoliator for your skin removes the build- up of dead cells, speeds up cell turnover, and brightens your complexion.
