Autumn is Here. Is Your Skin Ready for Fall?

IS YOUR SKIN READY FOR FALL?

Are you happy to put summer behind and welcome fall? Is your skin ready? Listen to your skin, she is talking to you and probably complaining: “Look at those dry patches, at the discoloration and uneven tone!” It’s time to please your skin, give it a beautiful makeover and healthy strength. Where do we start? We start with exfoliation!

Why is skin exfoliation so important?

Your skin is constantly in the process of producing new skin cells and shedding old skin cells. Generally, this is referred to as cell turnover. Due to different factors like natures elements (sun, wind, dust), stress, hormonal status, cell turnover slows down and as a result there is a build-up of dull, dry, discolored, dead skin on the surface. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead cells from the skin’s surface. Not only does exfoliation remove dead skin cells, unclog and minimize pores, smooth the surface of the skin, remove discoloration and even skin tone, but prepares it for optimal absorption of moisturizing and anti-aging treatments.

Exfoliation is critical for the health of any skin type. Dry, oily, sensitive, acne-prone or normal skin can all benefit from exfoliation. The method and frequency will all depend on your skins condition and sensitivity.

How Do I Exfoliate and How Often?

Exfoliation at home is generally performed either manually by using scrubs, or through the method of dissolving connections between cells and sloughing away the dead ones with help of acids and enzymes – exfoliating masks.

Use of scrubs and brushes – mechanical type of exfoliation - is very popular. It is easy, fast, and seems to be effective. But, be careful with facial scrubs and exfoliating brushes. They are far from “every type of skin” use, when exfoliating masks could be beneficial for every and any type of skin. Mechanical types of exfoliation are not recommended for very sensitive or excessively oily types of skin, acneic or dry, blotchy and rosacea types. It could bring more harm than revealed healthy skin.  Body skin is different from face skin and will be happy to renew with body scrubs and body exfoliating masks.

Depending on your skin condition, sensitivity, and your personal goals, skin exfoliation can be performed 1-2 times a week.
