Exfoliation is the removal of the oldest dead skin cells that cling to the skin's outermost surface. Exfoliation leaves the skin smoother and fresher looking and promotes the regeneration of your skin.

The skin is constantly generating new skin cells at the lower layer and sending them to the surface. As the cells rise to the surface they gradually die and become filled with keratin.  The keratinized skin cells are essential. They give our skin its protective quality. But they are constantly sloughing off to make way for younger cells.

As we age the process of cell turnover slows down. Cells start to pile up unevenly on the skin's surface, giving it a dry, rough, dull appearance. Exfoliation is beneficial because it removes those cells that are clinging on, revealing the fresher, younger skin cells below.

There are two types of exfoliations, mechanical and chemical.  Mechanical exfoliation uses organic abrasives such as sugar, salt, or corn meal to physically rub away dead skin cells.  A dry brush can also be used to brush away more surface skin cells.  Chemical exfoliation utilizes organic acids such as Enzymes, alphahydroxy acids, or betahydroxy acids to  loosen the glue-like substance that holds the cells together, allowing them to slough away.
