Chemical Exfoliation: the use of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA’s) and beta hydroxy acids (BHA’s) to break down the bonds adhering dead skin cells to healthy skin cells so that they can be washed off more easily.
Physical Exfoliation: the technique of removing dead skin cells by using either a physical brush or a liquid with abrasive granules.
Why you Should Exfoliate: the capacity of epidermal stem cells to regenerate functional cells is an ability unique to the skin and can lead to layers of dead skin cells accumulating on top of healthy ones.
Benefits of Exfoliation: sloughing off dead skin cells to reveal the living ones beneath enhances the efficacy of your skin care products by making sure that the active ingredients reach the healthy dermis. For adolescents and others with skin predisposed to acne, exfoliation also serves to remove debris from pores which would otherwise lead to breakouts.
