Why should you exfoliate your skin?
1. Brightens complexion
The dead skin on the top layer doesn’t add any value to your skin. All they do is make your skin dull. Scrubbing them off gives you a brighter complexion and makes your skin glow. Scrubs act as a polish and add a shine to the skin.
2. Prevents acne
Dead cells also end up trapping dirt on your skin. Both these on top can easily clog your pores and cause acne. With a regular exfoliation routine, you will start noticing that your acne has started disappearing. The only thing to keep in mind is to be gentle while exfoliating the skin.
3. Makes skin softer
The dead cells layers on top of your skin are just a massive pile of dirt, hence they’re jagged. This gives the skin a scratchy feel. Removal of those cells makes your skin feel much softer and smoother. You will not only see a difference in your skin but also feel it turn velvety. And if you’re a makeup fan, exfoliating will make your makeup glide on smoothly and look airbrushed!
4. Helps to absorb products
All the dead cells obstruct your skincare products from reaching deep within. Most of your skincare is wasted on them and simply washed off. With nothing to block your skin, your healthy cells receive all the goodness from your skincare and all your products can work better.
