The Importance of Exfoliation
Exfoliation is a natural process by which the skin sheds its dead, dry cells. Skin cells die and re-grow about every 15-20 days, so there is an obvious need for exfoliation. However, sometimes your dead skin cells can stay on the surface of your face, leading to clogged pores and other problems. Thus, extra exfoliation is a helpful process that can keep your skin glowing and fresh.
Because most exfoliators are harsh on your skin, you should be very careful about what products you use to help clear away dead skin cells. However, at Skin Begins, we recognize the need for a gentle yet effective exfoliator. We carry several different types of exfoliating products that can reveal your new, dewy skin. For the best exfoliator for your skin type, please visit Skin Begins today.
Types of Exfoliators
People should only exfoliate their faces once or twice a week in order to remove unwanted facial debris. If you exfoliate more often than this, you can wipe away living skin cells, leaving your face raw and irritated. To keep your face fresh, you may want to try several different types of exfoliators. The main types of exfoliation include:
- Mechanical– scrubs, washcloths, loofahs, buffing or polishing creams
- Chemical – alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, and other peels
Both of these types of exfoliation wipe away built-up facial debris so that you can have clearer, blemish-free skin. Additionally, this can smooth your skin and help prevent early wrinkling

Exfoliation should be a regular part of your skincare process. Sometimes, chemical or mechanical exfoliants can be built into your normal face wash, or you can solely rely on a once- or twice-weekly scrub to help wipe away potential skin woes. For a wide variety of high-quality exfoliants, please visit Skin Begins today.
