Things to remember when exfoliating
Exfoliation involves removing dead skin, the oldest layer, on the outermost surface of your skin. There are a number of ways that exfoliation can take place, either chemically or mechanically. Examples include microdermabrasion, chemical peels, facials or simply through the use of a gentle scrub. Dirt and other impurities can also be removed through exfoliation and the newer, fresher skin cells underneath are then revealed.
Exfoliation can be carried out either at home, using scrubs and special exfoliants, or at the salon, where a range of techniques can be employed to achieve a deeper level of exfoliation.
