8 Amazing Benefits of Exfoliating.

Most of us skip this important and expedient part of our skincare routine.Exfoliating shouldn’t be circumscript to the face but should be done all over the body.

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead or dry skin cells from the skin. It has loads of benefit for our skin appearance and also helps with some skin conditions. 

Dead skin cells should be exfoliated once or twice a week preferably with natural or home remedies for a beautiful smooth skin. With regular exfoliation, you seldomly need to wear makeup everyday and you feel more comfortable without worrying about dark spots, acne etc.

Benefits of exfoliating.

  • Even skin tone: Hyperpigmentation makes a part of the skin appear darker than other parts. Exfoliating regularly, can remove all dark spots giving you an overall even skin tone.
  • Glowing skin: Exfoliation increase blood circulation to the skin making it look healthy and glowing..

  • Reduce clogged pores: Pores are the small opening in the skin, they can get clogged with oil, dirt and dead skin cells. You can reduce the clogged pores through exfoliation.
  • Removes blemishes and acne: Regular exfoliation can get rid of blemishes and acne on your face giving you a flawless skin.
  • Reduce wrinkles: Wrinkles which can also be as a result of dead skin cells can also be reduced with exfoliation.
  • Helps with dry skin: People with dry skin often get flakes on their skin, this can be easily removed by exfoliating.

  • Better shaving and prevent razor bumps: Exfoliating before shaving gives you a better shave and reduce risk of razor bumps.

    1. I exfoliate but not as often as some others may. I probably do it once or twice every two weeks. One scrub is natural (an Apricot scrub) and the other is by clearasil for blackheads. My face is very oily and acne prone.

    4. I use avocado and coconut oil only on my face for about half an hour. It worked for my pimples but I need something to clear the blackheads. A natural combo cos I don’t use chemicals on my skin.
      Thanks
