Question: Can I over exfoliate my skin?
Answer: Yes.
Excessive use of exfoliators can thin the skin and
leave it more sensitive. That being said, exfoliators
are beneficial to reduce build up of keratinized cells.
Whenever the dead skin is sloughed off, the skin underneath
the surface has to speed up regeneration, leaving the
surface smoother and more hydrated.
We
recommend using a glycolic acid, our DermaNew Microdermabrasion
or other home exfoliators no more than a few times
a week. |
