How to exfoliate your face and the benefits of exfoliation

The skin renews itself approximately every 28 days. But there are factors that can often slow down or hinder this process, such as particles, impurities or toxins that build up on our skin, which also causes pores to become clogged. The solution?Follow a routine to exfoliate your face correctly.

Pollution particles, the weather, dirt or oils are usually behind the imperfections in our skin: spots, clogged pores, wrinkles, dark spots, dull complexion...

What should we do then?Exfoliate our skin weekly and cleanse and hydrate it daily.

Always using specific products that are suitable for each skin type and cover those needs we talked about in the previous paragraph and that concern us so much.

Benefits of exfoliating the face

With facial exfoliation, and also body exfoliation, we will help skin cell regeneration, help the skin breathe better and help the products we apply in our routine (cream, sun protection, serum...) absorb better.

But it does not stop there. Another of the benefits of facial exfoliation is that it provides an extra boost of hydration to the skin, making the complexion more luminous.

Do you know why? Because once that layer of dirt and impurities has been removed, the dermis is more renewed, illuminated and soothed. In addition, exfoliants decongest the skin, but without damaging it.
