What are the key benefits of exfoliants?

Exfoliating helps to remove the dulling dead cells that remain on your skin's surface. As your body constantly produces new skin cells, older cells harden and detach from the skin. However, as you age, this process slows down. The result is dullness, congested skin, and dryness. By exfoliating, you are literally giving your sluggish skin a hand so you can enjoy a younger, smoother, brighter, and healthier complexion.

Who should use exfoliants?

Exfoliating is beneficial for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Sloughing is particularly good for managing uneven skin tones, blackheads, congested pores, or fine lines and wrinkles. As you age, exfoliation becomes more and more important. Exfoliators can also be used as body scrubs and lip scrubs.

What are the key ingredients typically found in exfoliants?

Dermalogica offers two different types of exfoliators: physical exfoliants and chemical. Physical exfoliants often include ingredients such as Corn Cob Meal or Rice Bran. These particles manually scrub against the skin to remove dead cells. Chemical exfoliants, often in the form of Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid, dissolve the glue that keeps dead cells attached to the skin’s surface.

How to use exfoliants:

• After cleansing, wet face and apply a small amount of product to your face with fingertips

• Gently lather product over the face in circular motions, concentrating on dry patches of the face.
