The
Benefits of Exfoliation.
One of the biggest problems for dry skin is that it tends to
look flaky, chalky or dull. This is because dry skin does not
exfoliate itself well. Due to its tendency to produce very little
sebum, the cellular 'glue' that binds the skin together does
not naturally break down quickly in dry skin.
In fact, it tends to solidify and 'stick' to the skin's surface
for longer than normal. The result is patches of stubborn 'glued-on'
skin cells. Many people resort to manual exfoliating and scrubs.
This often is too harsh for dry skin and sensitivity is the
overall result. Sometimes when exfoliation is not done, the
patches stick for so long that the surface skin hardens and
cracks. Over time, these cracks go deeper and deeper into the
dermis, causing permanent scarring. This is a vicious cycle
that can be avoided with proper skin care. Optimum
cleansing occurs when the skin's delicate moisture balance
is retained. Our
Glycolic Acid Pink Cleanser is a highly sophisticated EMOLLIENT
(mixture of oil and water). Balanced skin is coated with a
natural mixture of oils and water. The Pink Cleanser will
remove your skin's surface debris without stripping it of
its natural moisture balance.
After
cleansing, it is important to protect the freshly cleansed
skin from infections and bacteria growth. Our Pink Freshner
will inhibit the re-growth of blemishes. Note: Do NOT "freshen"
your
skin more than twice! You do not want to strip the skin's
natural balance.
