Facial Exfoliation

If the stratum corneum on your face is too thick, it will make your skin look dull. If you don't remove it, skin care products will not be absorbed well when you use them, thus failing to achieve the best skin care effect. However, if you remove it excessively, your skin will become more and more fragile. So you must pay attention to the degree when exfoliating. So what is the correct and effective way to exfoliate your face?

Many people think that for exfoliation, they must choose a scrub product with large particles or use exfoliating gel every day. These are actually incorrect exfoliation methods. Of course, in addition to this, many people have many misunderstandings about how to exfoliate. Let me introduce them to you one by one below.

Mistake 1: The more granular the matte product, the better

The particles in the scrub are coarse, and the skin will feel dry, red, and painful after use. If you want your skin to be moisturized and shiny after scrubbing, you should choose a scrub product with small and round particles.

Mistake 2: Exfoliating when you have acne

The excessive keratinization of acne skin is limited to the excessive keratinization of cells in the sebaceous gland ducts of the hair follicles. The keratin metabolism of the skin in other areas remains normal. If you force exfoliate, it can easily cause the acne to rupture and become infected.

Mistake 3: Using Exfoliating Gel on a Wet Face

Exfoliating cream should be applied after cleansing the face while there is still moisture on the face. However, exfoliating gel contains more than twice as much water as exfoliating cream. If you apply it on wet face, the exfoliating effect will not be obvious. It must be applied when the face is dry.

Mistake 4: Deep cleansing and exfoliating at the same time

The skin's ability to withstand stress is limited. After deep cleansing, the epidermal cells are likely to suffer exfoliative damage and need to rest for a period of time before they can recover. If you exfoliate your face at this time, it will undoubtedly cause more serious damage to the skin.

The above mentioned methods are all demonstrations of incorrect facial exfoliation. I hope they are of some help to you. If there is dead skin on the face, it must be removed, but when choosing an exfoliating product, you must choose one that suits your skin type, and do not exfoliate every day. You can do it twice a week, otherwise it will damage the skin.
