Facial Cleansing

From an early age most of us have learned to wash our faces before going to bed. Cleansing the face is important for removing make up and daily grime from our skin to keep it looking it's best. However very few people realise the importance of exfoliating the skin.

While cleansing is important for removing surface build up, exfoliating goes deeper into the skin to remove black head, dead skin cells and flakey skin. It helps brighten the complexion and smooth skin. Its most crucial role is unblocking pores to allow any products you may use to deeply penetrate your skin for maximum results. Think about it: if you apply a serum or lotion on top of a layer of dead skin, sebum and clogged pores what sort of benefits are you getting from your product? Most of the products potency is lost when trying to delve through this barrier.

Have you ever had dry, flakey skin and tried to apply a foundation or concealer on top of it? If you have you'll know that the final look is nowhere near as polished as it could or should be. Exfoliating is key to removing this skin and getting that smooth canvas you need for a flawless finish.

At Skindulgence our favourite exfoliant is Exfozyme, a gentle but powerful exfoliant that has customers raving. Even after one application of Exfozyme your skin will feel smooth and supple. Exfozyme works well for all skin types, whether you're oily, dry, combination or acne prone.

Sincerely,
Skindulgence
