WHY SHOULD I EXFOLIATE?

Exfoliation is the method of removing the built-up outer layers of skin that haven't or won't come off on their own. These built-up skin cells can be from sun damage, oily skin, bad skin care products, and/or unusually generated skin cells. Exfoliation is good for all types of skin. For dry skin, exfoliation removes the excess layers of skin and helps moisturizers absorb better and can also generate collagen production, improve cell turnover, and so on. For oily skin, exfoliation prevents clogged pores, improves cell turnover, and helps keep skin clear and even-toned. Salicylic acid (BHA) is good for normal to oily skin and skin with breakouts. Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), such as Glycolic acid, is good for normal to dry skin.
