Exfoliation Treatments in Gilbert, Arcadia, and the Greater Phoenix Area

Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin that keeps your face from looking dull. Exfoliation is very important because your skin generates new skin cells all the time. When the skin cells surface they fill with a protein called keratin. The keratin develops to protect your skin from everyday radicals. All cells become old and die and they must be replaced with new cells. Unfortunately, the older we get the slower the process of cell regeneration becomes. As the cell regeneration becomes slower, dead skin cells accumulate and build up on our skin. This is what gives our skin the rough, dry, dull appearance.

There are three types for exfoliation. You have manual exfoliating that is removing the dead skin cells. The manual exfoliating is usually done by using lotions, soaps, creams, and across the counter scrubs. Use scrubs that are non-abrasive. The second type of exfoliation is a technique that resurfaces the top layer of skin. Mainly consist of using chemicals that fight acne, uneven pigmentation, age spots, wrinkles and sun damage. Alpha and beta hydroxyl acids are used to stimulate collagen, elastin, and cell growth, to obtain smooth, tighter, fresher looking skin. The third type of exfoliation is enzyme exfoliation. Enzyme exfoliation is used for people with very sensitive skin. The products used are proteolytic enzymes and come in pads, cleansers and masks. These products will actually dissolve the dead skin instead of using chemicals or to remove them from the face.

If you are using an exfoliation as part of your daily regiment use substances such as high quality clays, herbal extracts and essential oils that are gentle to your skin.
