No one likes the looks of dry, flaky, dead skin; it can be a site for sore eyes. If left untreated can lead to itching, clogged pores, acne breakouts, dry skin, premature aging, and other undesired issues.
The key to getting rid of all that dull and dead skin is regular exfoliation. Continue reading to find out more.
Many people believe that cleansing, toning, and moisturizing daily is enough to make your skin unblemished and flawless. However, exfoliation takes off that dead skin and leaves your skin radiant and glowing skin. It also help other skin care products absorb more readily into the skin.
The skin covering our entire body constantly goes through cycles of growing new skin cells and shedding old skin cells. In fact, between 30,000 and 40,000 of them fall off every hour; in a 24 hour period a person sheds up to five thousand skin cells.
What happens to those dead skin cells?
They shed off your body and land on your tables, TV, windowsills, picture frames, sofa, chairs, curtains, your entire home is consumed with dead human skin cells. Then your house fills with trillions of microscopic dust mites that eat your old dead skin. If a dust mite infestation is not treated properly, it can lead to wheezing, asthma attacks, and other health problems.
Mites Under A Microscope - Get The Picture?
That's why It is important to not only exfoliate your face but your entire body.
If the extra cells aren't removed, the buildup can make our skin dry looking and dull, and our overall tone and complexion appears uneven, and fine lines are more noticeable. Dead skin cells can also clog our pores and hair follicles, which is why they can cause acne breakouts, especially for people who already acne prone.
When this happens on our scalp and dry skin gets stuck in our hair follicles, it can impact our hair growth which leads to thinning hair and hair loss.
Aging Skin
When we're young and our skin is in its prime, our cell's total cycle lasts around 30 days. But, as we age, the cycle takes a lot longer and our skin does not regenerate as quickly. As a result, dead skin sits on the outermost layer of our dermis for an long period of time.
Thinning skin and slower skin cell turnover are two facets of the aging process that can dull the natural glow and radiance of our skin. However, around the age of 65, the skin's life cycle doubles and lasts about 60 days, so skin cells are produced less frequently. This leads to dead skin cells sticking around a whole lot longer.
Dehydrated Skin
When our skin is appropriately hydrated, it performs its necessary functions, like new cell turnover which eliminates toxins caused by environmental factors.
When skin becomes dehydrated, it's less pliable and resilient and stops doing its job, and we see more dry, cracked and flaky skin. Dry skin can weaken the outermost layer of the skin by creating small gaps in between the cells. Consequently, our skin becomes more prone to inflammation, redness, and wrinkles.
Exfoliation Is The Key - Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate!
Removing dead skin from the face via exfoliation is necessary, regardless of skin type. Exfoliation unclogs pores and helps keep your skin soft, thus reducing the risk of blackheads, whiteheads, and acne vulgaris. Exfoliation helps you get rid of the dead skin on the face from the upper layer of the skin rapidly.

These dead skin cells are shed through normal daily activities, such as pulling clothes on and off. A person is unaware of when old skin cells fall.
Exfoliation is to get rid of these dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin more quickly. The best thing is that you don't need to visit a doctor or beauty salon to do this. You can easily do it at home. If you choose to exfoliate your face, use a gentle method. Overuse can be irritating even to skin that is not too sensitive.
