You must have seen a number of commercial adverts illustrating the benefits. You have probably also seen your girlfriend doing her ritual in the evening, and dozens of exfoliation products made by renowned brands in the stores. But, still you wonder what exfoliation is? Or another question that comes to your mind would be- Is it important for skin?
What is exfoliation?
Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from your facial skin using exfoliators or what we call “face scrub”. As a result exfoliating your face gives you a younger healthier skin. Men would benefit more from exfoliation than women. It is a known fact that men have a thicker skin than women. Scrubbing helps by softening and toning your skin. Exfoliation unclogs pores, keeping your skin clean and reducing acne breakouts.
Benefits of Exfoliation
Removes Dirt & Grime
Whether the dirt is accumulated from a day’s work or a long workout session at the gym, but sometimes your face needs an upgraded cleaning routine. Using a face scrub will clean your skin deeply giving you a healthy and rejuvenated appearance.
Spot-free Skin
Exfoliation will help control the build-up of sebum (a naturally occurring oil in skin which causes clogged pores), dirt & grime and therefore help to control spots and blemishes that appear. So, scrubbing your face regularly gives you a clear, flawless and healthy skin.
Improve Shaving
Scrubbing your face before shaving has its own advantages. It softens your skin and unclogs the pores so that the razor can glide smoothly on your face. Also, it will help lift tough beard hair, and removes & prevents nasty ingrown hair.
Boost Ageing Complexions
Human skin is good at repairing itself and regenerates after every 30 days. However, this process slows down once you start ageing. Exfoliation will help in skin rejuvenation, thereby boosting ageing complexions and giving your skin a youthful appearance.
How Often should you Exfoliate?
While exfoliation offers a numbers of benefits to your skin but too much of everything can be disadvantageous. Over scrubbing will strip away the natural oils and dry out your skin making it more prone to breakouts and acne. So, consider scrubbing your face twice a week.
So, we can say exfoliating your face regularly will help you get a youthful & alluring appearance.
