Exfoliate

A key element to beautiful, healthy skin is the removal of dead skin cells that accumulate constantly on the face and body.  We produce millions of new skin cells every day, just as we shed millions of dead skin cells every day.  Most of the dust around your home is dead skin.  When skin is young and healthy, it takes about 4 weeks for new cells to reach the surface layer, thus every month, you have 'new' skin.  As we age, that cell turnover gradually slows.  It can take twice as long or more for those fresh cells to reach the surface.  Additionally, the skin sheds its dead cells unevenly, leading to a dull, splotchy, ashy appearance.  Using a topical exfoliant can help speed up the process, revealing smoother, fresher, more radiant skin and allow expensive skin treatments and moisturizers to work more efficiently and stretch a little further.
