Skin Care Chatter

So why, you ask, is exfoliating important? The surface layer of normal, healthy skin consists in part of dead skin cells. However, too many dead skin cells cause a problem: as they tend to be cracked, moisture escapes through the skin and, in turn, the skin dries out further. This causes more cracking which then causes more moisture loss and the skin becomes more susceptible to penetration of chemicals, pollutants and bacteria. It’s a never-ending cycle.

When using an exfoliating lotion, you are able to remove the excess dry skin cells and replace them with healthy cells that are more capable of producing water and thereby restoring natural moisture to the skin
