Putting Your Best Face Forward: The Power of Exfoliation
Exfoliation removes dead skin buildup that can block your products from absorbing effectively.
Regular exfoliation can help reduce clogged pores, minimize breakouts, and improve visible skin texture.
It also supports a more even-looking complexion by helping fade dark marks over time.
For makeup wearers, smoother skin can improve foundation application and reduce patchiness.
As skin renewal slows with age, exfoliation can help support fresher, brighter-looking skin.
For most people, exfoliating once weekly is a safe baseline, with up to twice weekly for makeup-heavy routines when tolerated.
Over-exfoliation can irritate the barrier, so consistency and moderation matter more than intensity.
