Exfoliant Resource Center

In the body's natural cycle, the visible layer of skin cells is shed every 30-to-35 days, replacing the dead surface cells with a new, healthy layer. However, as our bodies age, cells become weaker and are often damaged by environmental factors. These dead cells remain on the surface for the normal amount of time, causing the skin to take on a duller appearance and causing fine lines on the face, hands and body to be more visible. Exfoliation is a process that helps to eliminate the excess dead cells from the outer layer of skin, and in the process softens, smoothes and clarifies the complexion. A large number of exfoliants exist, and many skin care products combine exfoliation with other benefits, such as anti-aging products and acne care products.

Our goal at exfoliant.com is to help you find the right exfoliating products for you, your skin type and skin concerns, allowing you to experience the full benefits of exfoliants.
