7 Benefits of Using an Exfoliating Scrub

One of the first things that is noticeable on a person’s face is their pores. Dry skin, dead cells, makeup, and other debris have a nasty way of clogging up the pores on your face. When you use an exfoliating scrub on your skin, everything blocking your pores is whisked away. This will help prevent whiteheads and blackheads from forming on your face. This is why exfoliating daily is important, to keep your pores clean. When pores are clogged, the pores get even larger.

Many skincare products are only effective if they’re able to penetrate the outer layer of the skin. When your pores are hopelessly clogged, rejuvenating creams and serums have no way of getting in. Clearing up those pores with exfoliation will allow these skincare products to really do their thing. That’s why we recommend using an exfoliating cleanser before applying Porcelain Antioxidant Glow Serum. The only way to start with fresh skin is to cleanse first, then exfoliate, or you could use the Polish + all in one cleanser exfoliator and get the job done quicker and easier each morning and each night. You daily routine doesn’t have to take a lot of time when you have the most effective and efficient products.

Blocked pores often represent the main cause of acne. An exfoliating routine that clears dead cells and opens up your pores will help keep these unsightly blemishes at bay. Just make sure you don’t go overboard with harsh daily cleanings. Acne is certainly a pesky problem, but you’ll only make your skin feel worse if you overdo your response. Your skin needs it’s natural oils as well as being clean, over doing it can strip the natural oils and make your face even more sensitive. Cleanse your face every morning, after workouts or sweating and in the evening. Gently exfoliate as acne can become even more irritated if you are harsh on those areas. Make sure to rinse your face really well and pat dry.

Like every part of the body, the face needs plenty of oxygen to feel and look its best. Exfoliation has been shown to increase blood flow to the skin on the face because it removes everything blocking healthy skin, such as dead skin cells, dirt, sweat and makeup. Blood brings oxygen to the facial skin cells, which gives them the chance to be the healthiest versions of themselves. Healthy, oxygenated cells will give your face the youthful glow you’re craving because it is able to do what the body does naturally. To help with circulation, take your time when cleansing and exfoliating. Get all the nooks and crannies of your face and neck. Use upward swirling motions to create natural circulation. Rinse well and pat dry.

With healthy skin, new cells come to the surface to replace their dead or dying counterparts. Exfoliating your skin can help with this process. Bringing healthy cells to the forefront of your face will have a noticeable impact on your overall appearance. Cell turnover helps provide glow and color, meaning that with youthful cells comes a more youthful you. You can assist this cell turnover by cleansing and exfoliating daily.

In addition to breaking down and eliminating dead skin, exfoliants can bring uniformity of color and texture. Dark spots, acne scars, and other blemishes can be a real pain to deal with, but a consistent cleansing and exfoliation routine is usually enough to get the job done. After a few months of steady application, you should see your face return to its uniform, blotch-free state.

Collagen is the main structural protein found in the skin, and it has a significant effect on your youthful appearance. Exfoliation helps synthesize collagen, making your face look smoother, plumper, tighter, fresher and younger. This is why exfoliation is such a big part of any anti-aging regimen.
