Summer activities can leave your skin feeling dry, dull and damaged. As summer comes to an end it is great time to start exfoliating. The epidermis is what you see, the outermost layer of your skin, and it is the one that is affected by 
exfoliation treatments and products, the one you can visibly change. Your epidermis is as thin as a sheet of paper but has several layers to it!
Did you know that you shed 36 million dead skin cells a day? Cellar exfoliation is an amazing process that can be hindered by age, genetics and the environment. Living cellular activity occurs below the surface of the skin. As new living cells move up towards the skin’s surface they not only change in shape and structure, they also mature and die. Buildup of these dead skin cells can lead to rough, scaly and thickened appearance of the skin. While young skin naturally replaces dead skin cells every 15 to 20 days, older skin requires 25-35 days for the same process. Simply put, this means that the dead skin cells remain on the surface of your skin too long; they clump together, clogging pores and causing an ashen, sometimes leathery look.
Thus, to maintain a healthy glow it is absolutely necessary to step up your exfoliating process as you get older. There is two kinds of exfoliation methods that are most frequently used
- Mechanical or manual exfoliation is accomplished by physically removing the dead skin cells. Microdermabration treatment, Dermaplaning or facial scrubs is an example of this type of exfoliation
- Chemical Exfoliation involves the application of a variety of concentration to remove dead skin cells. Chemical peels is an example of a chemical exfoliation, ranging from superficial to deep.
