What is exfoliation? When do you need to remove it?

In today's society, due to the influence of the external environment, unbalanced diet, excessive smoking and drinking, etc., men's keratin is easy to accumulate and cannot fall off naturally. As a result, men's skin will become rougher and darker. So, what exactly is the so-called keratin?

Definition of keratin

The stratum corneum is located at the outermost layer of the skin and has the function of protecting the skin and locking in moisture. The keratin that should be metabolized naturally cannot be metabolized normally due to skin aging, incomplete cleansing, sun exposure, oily skin, changes in work and rest, weather changes, etc. Proper exfoliation is very important. In addition to feeling the smooth touch of the skin, it also allows the ingredients of skin care products to be easily absorbed by the skin, thereby maintaining the metabolism of the skin. Many skin problems can be improved to a greater or lesser extent.

Will exfoliation make the skin thinner?

Many people find when doing skin tests that they should exfoliate, but unfortunately they have sensitive skin and are always worried that exfoliation will make the skin thinner and worse. In fact, as long as you exfoliate gently and correctly, your skin will definitely not become thinner, so there is no need to worry.

Eliminating old waste without harming innocent people

Regardless of your skin type, you should understand that removing old cuticles can promote skin metabolism and absorption, which is helpful for improving skin. The key is to ensure that you do not "hurt innocent" when removing old cuticles, and protect the fresh cuticles so that they can replace the old cuticles. In this way, the thickness of the skin will not decrease, the skin will not be damaged at all, and its protection and vitality will be greatly enhanced.

New cuticles will not fall off easily

If your skin is thin or sensitive, it is best not to use exfoliating products containing abrasive particles or salicylic acid, as they may damage fresh cuticles. However, since fresh cuticles are very healthy and neatly arranged, they will not be easily peeled off. Therefore, the so-called "exfoliation will make the skin thinner" is actually an unfounded subjective judgment. But one thing must be remembered: do not exfoliate when your skin is unstable.
