   When we are young our skin cells turnover every 28 days as we age 20 years on-wards this process starts to slow and the dead skin cells take longer to fall off the skin surface. These extra dead skin cells makes your skin look dull, dry,  scaly and lifeless plus it will give the appearance of wrinkles.  Helping your skin to ride of the excess tired, dead cells helps the skin renewal process, allowing new healthy cells to take their place it turns your complexion bright, vibrant, and smooth.

2. Exfoliating Reduces the Appearance of Large Pores

   When pores become clogged, they appear larger. Cleansing your skin daily will help but by exfoliating you are giving your skin a deeper cleanse and will de-clog the pores.  Along with dead cells, exfoliating also removes the dirt stuck deep inside your pores and will diminish the size of your pores allowing your skin to have a healthy polished glow.

   Acne-prone skin sheds extra skin cells more than other skin types, but the cells do not fall away. Instead, they get caught up in the extra sebum that the skin is producing and will clog the pores and hair follicles leading to more blockages and increase occurrence of acne and blackhead breakouts. By daily cleansing and regular exfoliation you will remove these blockages and reduce the breakouts.  Think of regular exfoliation as “taking out the trash” and reducing the likelihood of clogged pores and acne.
