Find yourself with dull looking and dry skin? Want that glow on your face but don’t know where to start? Fret not because we’re here to help! Read on to learn about the causes of lacklustre skin and be introduced to face exfoliators you can rely on to bring you that covetable skin luminosity!
Having youthful and smooth skin all the time is sadly, not a given. Facial skin can appear lifeless due to the accumulation of dead skin cells and until they’re removed, this dingy layer prevents your skin from reflecting light.
Besides that, dryness is another reason for dull skin. Dehydrated skin decreases the volume of blood flow to the skin, hence leaving us with that pale and sickly look. The lack of water content also manifests itself in the fine lines on your skin (also known as wrinkles). In the long run, you might even experience saggy skin.
Now you know the cause of that dreary skin of yours, you should take comfort in knowing there’s a solution to it – exfoliation!
Simply put, exfoliation is the process of removing the buildup of dead skin cells! The removal of old cells improves cellular turnover rate as well as the body’s natural regeneration process. As such, it helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production which plays a vital role in the promotion of youthful and healthier skin!
But that’s not where the benefits stop! Exfoliation also helps to get rid of the old cells clogging up your pores, leaving more room for better absorption of toners and moisturizers. Have oily, acne prone and sensitive skin? Fret not, exfoliation is a safe and effective solution for you! Just be sure to get a face exfoliator that suits your skin type!
