Your skin cycle is 4-6 weeks – this is the lifespan of the skin cell. Every day, you skin sheds millions of dead cells and combined with sebum (the skin’s natural oil), this debris can block pores leading to congestion, blackheads and outbreaks.
Exfoliators can be mechanical (containing small rough particles to scrape dead cells off) or chemical (containing mild acids to make it easier to wash the dead cells away). Ensure that you get advice from ASKINOLOGY staff on the type, strength and frequency to use – too much can cause dryness and irritation.
