Essential Components Of A Quality Skincare Routine

Don’t Forget Weekly Exfoliation

Cleansing the skin is great and does help make sure everyone can start and end their day with clear and clean skin. However, regular exfoliation is critical for optimum skin health, as cleansing alone will not remove all of the dead skin clogging the skin's pores and causing serious issues. Exfoliation removes these dead skin cells effectively and helps reveal the healthy, fresh skin cells below. It also prepares the skin for better moisturizer absorption!

Now, the reason exfoliation is only truly essential once a week is because many exfoliating products are harsh on the skin. As such, using them every day can cause unnecessary irritation. Once a week still allows you to reap the rewards of removing the dead skin cells without the danger of this irritation, provided you choose the appropriate exfoliator for your skin type.

For those with specific skin problems, such as cystic acne, the next component is perhaps the most crucial element and must never be forgotten.
