Is the correct way to remove dead skin the same as exfoliation?

Exfoliation is something that your body needs to do occasionally so that your skin can be healthier. What is the correct way to exfoliate? Is exfoliation the same as peeling?

The correct way to exfoliate

Use your hands to massage the skin with scrub or scrub particles to remove dead cells on the surface of the skin using physical friction. However, harder scrub particles can damage the skin and may cause infection, so when you choose this exfoliation method, it's best to try the product on your hands to get a feel for the texture.

2. Professional exfoliation in dermatology

Sensitive skin is not suitable for frequent use of physical scrub exfoliating products. Korean dermatologist Oh Soo-ya recommends going to a skin clinic for professional exfoliation every 2-3 weeks, which is also effective for acne and pimples caused by excessive stress.

3. Exfoliation with facial mask

When using an exfoliating mask, facial exfoliation should be done after cleansing the face while it is still hydrated. Exfoliation must be gentle, using circular motions to slowly push and slide the skin, about 7-10 times per area. After exfoliating, rinse with clean water, and then perform other maintenance tasks such as moisturizing and sun protection.

Is facial exfoliation the same as peeling?

It's about the same.

Method/Steps:

1. After washing your face, massage with a small amount of refined salt for 30 seconds and then wash it off with water, avoiding the area around the eyes and areas with thin stratum corneum. Massage your face with fine sugar, lemon juice and olive oil, which can not only exfoliate, but also moisturize and whiten the skin. Add a little salt to the leftover yogurt and apply it evenly on your face for 15 minutes before washing it off to exfoliate.

2. Body care is relatively simple. Mix sugar or salt in shower gel and massage your whole body. You can apply more strength on the joints. Then wash it with warm water and apply moisturizer. If you persist, your whole body will become smooth and tender.

Note:

You can't exfoliate at any time. If your skin is peeling, you cannot exfoliate. Dander will appear when your skin is dehydrated. At this time, hydration is the key.

The skin itself has the ability to remove dead skin cells, so exfoliation should not be done too frequently. For oily skin, exfoliation should be done once or twice a week, and for dry skin, once every two weeks.

If your skin care products contain salicylic acid or enzymes that have exfoliating effects, you should reduce the frequency of exfoliation according to your skin condition.
