Exfoliating is an essential part to any skin care regimen. Exfoliants are great to cleanse pores, remove dead skin cells, and leave your skin smooth and radiant!
Cleaning your face is fine, but it only affects the top layer of your skin. Facial scrubs do more. They penetrate the deeper layers, and slough off the dead skin cells at the same time on the top layer. You want to do it regularly, set up a routine for use of your exfoliant. Doing it one time a month is not going to help benefit your skin. Start with using a exfoliant one time a week, and stick with it and you will see results!


Skin care prodcuts that contain exfoliant ingredients can improve the appearance of the skin by removing dead surface skin cells. As a result, they can smooth the skin's appearance and even out some discoloration from too much sun exposure. Exfoliants can be particularly useful for aging skin that appears rough and dull, because older skin doesn't slough off dead surface skin cells as easily as younger skin does.

Two chemical exfoliants, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), are considered superior to many exfoliating scrubs, masks, toners, and abrasive cloths. That's because they change cell growth patterns and may help renew collagen.
