We’ve all read at some point or another that exfoliating your face a couple times a week is necessary to achieve flawless skin. Well…it’s true and it’s as crucial as applying other skin care essentials like moisturizers and serums.
If you have yet to use an exfoliator or need to switch it up, we recommend the dr. brandt skincare microdermabrasion age defying exfoliator (featured in the FabFitFun Spring Box!) It uses top notch ingredients like aluminum oxide crystals, lactic acid, and soothing botanicals to buff away any dead skin lingering on the face — leaving you with a youthful glow and smoother skin.
Ahead, we’re breaking down all the reasons why you need to incorporate an exfoliator into your skin care routine.
It helps you look younger! Dead skin cells tend to linger on the skin and if left on the skin for too long, it can actually make you look older as it will exaggerate fine lines. So speed up the skin shedding process by sloughing it all away and it’ll ultimately bring up the new skin and make it more plump, hydrated, and youthful.
It gets rid of unneeded texture. When left on the skin too long, dead skin cells end up clogging pores, creating textured skin, and even acne — yikes! Also, regularly exfoliating your skin helps to diminish acne marks left behind on the skin, as the regeneration of new skin cells work to resurface your base.
It allows your other products to work better. Not only does exfoliating open up the pores so dirt can be drawn out, it also helps your skin care products absorb better into the skin since the dead skin cells aren’t blocking passage into the dermis. Imagine all that money you spent on fancy eye creams and serums to have them less effective than what they were really capable of (not cool!)
Makeup will apply like a dream. Exfoliating gets rid of any leftover makeup and helps prepare the face for ideal makeup application. On a night you know you need your face to look its best, exfoliating right before applying makeup will allow beauty products to lay beautifully on the skin — no more powders clinging onto those dry patches!
