Regular exfoliation is necessary to maintain a clear, healthy complexion regardless of your skin type. Continue reading to learn why you should exfoliate, the many exfoliation techniques, and choose from our products as well that will help with your skin type and concerns.

 

Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells and accumulated skin debris from the epidermis, the outer layer of skin.

To get rid of the old cells, you can use a chemical or physical exfoliation technique (more on that in a moment). This shield pores from clogging and displays the younger, healthier skin beneath.

Exfoliation aids in the natural cell renewal process of your skin. Fresh cells are "born" in the epidermis's lowest layer, where this process starts. These fresh, springy cells ascend through the epidermis' additional layers until they come to the skin's surface.

The cells that were once fresh and bouncy are now dead, dry, and flaky as they get to this spot and settle down.

The dead, dry cells are being replaced by a fresh group of cells that are moving from the deeper layers to the surface.

Although it is a normal process, skin cell turnover slows down as we become older.

In healthy, young skin, this procedure typically takes place every 28 days or so. It starts to take much longer as you age, perhaps from 40 to 60 days or even longer.

Those dry, flaky cells aren't being replaced as quickly, thus this is the case. Clogged pores, causes problems with the skin like dullness, uneven skin tone, and breakouts.

Best Exfoliating Ingredients

The best exfoliating substances are those that gently exfoliate your skin without compromising the health of your skin. Although the optimal substances for exfoliating will differ based on skin type, we recommend:

• Bamboo Extract
• Fruit Enzymes
• Jojoba Beads
• Glycolic Acid (AHA)
• Lactic Acid (AHA)
• Salicylic Acid (BHA)
  
  

 

Benefits of Skin Exfoliation

Unclogs pores to help in clearing clogged skin
The likelihood of dry, dead skin cells clogging pores and congesting skin grows the longer they stay on the skin's surface.

Dead cells are readily trapped inside the pore together with oil and other debris, which fosters the optimal conditions for the growth of bacteria.

This can lead to skin issues associated to acne, ranging from minor ones like blackheads and pimples to serious ones like cysts and nodules.

Regular, gentle exfoliation is one of the main solutions to manage congested skin by getting rid of dead skin cells.

Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and clears clogged pores to maintain clear pores. This reduces the possibility that bacteria responsible for acne may grow inside the pore and cause breakouts.

 

Can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines

Exfoliation can help lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but it won't make them go away.

Skin looks smoother and has less noticeable fine wrinkles when the top layer of dead skin is removed through exfoliation.

 

Helps and promotes a lighter, more even skin tone

Due to the accumulation of old cells, skin in need of a good skin exfoliation treatment looks thick and dull.

Dead skin cells can be removed to rapidly make skin look brighter and more youthful. Skin tone smoothed out over time, and hyperpigmentation could appear reduced clearly.

 

Enables skincare to absorb more deeply

One of the less well-known advantages of exfoliation completes the list. You might be surprised to learn that it can actually help maximize the advantages of the chemicals in your other skincare products.

Serums, moisturizers, and masks enter the skin more thoroughly when there isn't a layer of dead skin cells in the way. It makes logic that the better a product can be absorbed by your skin, the better the outcomes will be if it contains nourishing and active elements.

Benefits of Using Goodieco’s Powder Form Exfoliating Masks

As you roam around Goodieco’s Exfoliating Mask products, you’ll find that they are all in powder form and we have just the reasons for it:

Preservatives are not necessary

The ingredients will remain fresh for a lot longer without the addition of water, and they will be much less prone to bacterial growth in a dry atmosphere.

Alcohol and parabens are two examples of emulsifiers or preservatives that are just bad for your skin because they can clog pores, produce excessive dryness and irritation, and accumulate over time.

Ingredients remain active

The active components in the dry powder stay stable and potent without the addition of any liquid, providing the highest level of effectiveness up until the point of application.

A little bit is often enough
Did you realize that up to 70% of skincare products contain water? Without this water component, you'll discover that significantly less product is required to do the task. You can also choose a thick or thin paste for your exfoliant or mask, depending on your preference. In addition, we may package the powder without using tubes or plastic in environmentally friendly glass and tin containers!

Exfoliating your skin – The Physical and Chemical Way

Physical and chemical exfoliation methods are both available.

They pursue the same goals dead skin cells, accelerating cell turnover, and leaving skin smoother and brighter—but do so in various ways.

It's necessary to know how each exfoliation method works in order to select the appropriate exfoliant for your skin type and concerns.

Physical Exfoliation

Products with small particles like coffee, jojoba beads, or sugar granules are examples of physical exfoliating products. To get the particles to work and buff away dead skin, you must actively rub the cream into the skin.

Microdermabrasion treatments and any face mitt or washcloth with a rough surface that rubs away dead skin and debris are further examples of physical exfoliation.

Avoid abrasive substances like crushed fruit pits and nutshells in exfoliating face washes, for instance, unless they are extremely finely ground. Larger particles can be extremely abrasive and harm the skin barrier by creating a "microtear" in the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How Often Should I Exfoliate?

To determine how frequently you should exfoliate, it's crucial to pay close attention to your skin, but we can offer some general recommendations.

Oily and normal skin types can often use a light exfoliator once to three times per week. Reduce your frequency to once a week if you're using a stronger exfoliant.

Stick to a gentle exfoliation session once a week if you have sensitive or dry skin.

What are the Dangers of Over-Exfoliation?

Remind yourself to keep an eye on how exfoliating is affecting your skin. It's simple to overdo it, and excessive exfoliating might harm your skin.

Either the exfoliating product you're using is too strong for your skin type or you're using it too frequently if your face is breaking out in red, flaky, and dry places or starting to look "waxy."

The skin barrier is compromised by excessive exfoliating. Dehydration, broken capillaries, and new acne breakouts may occur as a result of stripping the skin of its natural oils.

Additionally, the skin may become more sensitive to other skincare items that previously didn't bother it.
