Exfoliating Skin

September 6th, 2009

As an esthetician I get questions all the time about how to get rid of wrinkles, how to stop acne, how to get rid of black heads, and how to even out skin tone and I will tell you it is all the same answer. The answer to pretty much all problems is you’re not exfoliating enough. Your skin goes through a monthly cycle where the new skin is on the bottom layer and pushes its way up the chain to become the dead skin at the top and so on its how your skin regenerates itself.

So each month your skin is adding more and more dead skin to that top layer and if you are not getting rid of them you are going to have major problems in your skin. A great way to think of it is a new car with a ton of wax on it if you never take that wax of the car will never be shiny and pretty how it should be so we have to get that skin off to be able to have our best skin. The best exfoliate depends on your skin type some skins need a bit more and some are sensitive and need less. So just go the drug store and try a few but no matter what it’s better than not exfoliating.
