Exfoliating - why it's important to get rid of the top layer.
The skin is made up of many different layers. Some are dead and some are living. To help you better understand the skin and its layers, let’s concentrate on three primary layers of skin. The top dead cell layers, the middle living layers and the lower supportive layers. We don’t need the top dead cell layers nor do we want them. They make the skin look dry, dull and old and inhibit any topical nutrients or moisturizers from penetrating into the skin basically suffocating the living skin cells.
Women who exfoliate or remove these dead dry skin cells with regular European facials, scrubs or peels will look much younger than women who don’t. Men’s skin will look younger longer than women’s skin because they shave their faces, which removes dead, dry cells.
Exfoliating dead dry skin cells is the first step of any skin care program and extremely important. If we don’t remove these cells we are wasting our time applying topical vitamins or moisturizers over them because nothing will penetrate or be absorbed into the skin. Without absorption you will not get the benefits of using good skin care products. The beauty of using Glycolic acid is that it dissolves the glue or sebum which holds dead dry cells on the top layer of skin, loosening them and gently lifting them off. I say gently because this type of exfoliation is called a chemical exfoliation. It is less harsh than a mechanical one which includes abrasive grains and scrubs. If you look under a microscope, you will actually see small scratches on the skin after using a mechanical exfoliant. Visit www.clinage.com for more information.

I had suffered from adult acne for years until a friend told me about Clinage skin care--I was very skeptical at first--having tried numerous products both over the counter and prescription. However I am telling you--these products work!! My husband and friends say my skin has never looked better. I feel so confident—I even go out without makeup on!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marcia!!
Started using Clinage skin care more than 15 years ago. I also had breakouts my whole life, up until I had been using Clinage for a little over 3 months. Gradually, month my month my skin was looking better. My pores got smaller and fewer of them clogged up and caused blemishes. I also began getting compliments from my husband and family telling me how great my skin looked. At first, I didn't believe them, having had problem skin my whole life, but littler by little even I could see the difference and started to feel happier about my skin. Today, I love my skin and owe it all to Clinage Skin Care!
