EXPOSED: THE ONE MISTAKE YOU MAKE IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE
Skincare routines are key determinants as to how your skin texture and by extension, your skin tone.
Your skin undergoes skin cycle where new cells are formed from the lowemost layer and migrate to the topmost layer.

The cells on the topmost layer is thus accumulated this making the skin look dull. This is where the importance of exfoliation is emphasised.

What happens when exfoliation becomes excessive or is done with harsh products?
💜💜💜
This is one major mistake you might be engaged in. When exfoliation is excessive and/or done with harsh products, microtears are formed on the skin breaking the protective skin barrier.
💜💜💜
Whatcare the implications of this? I have it listed below;
It creates room for microorganisms to invade the skin.
It causes skin inflammation which is seen as redness, pain and swellings on the skin.
It makes the skin susceptible to irritations.
It increases skin sensitivity, flakiness and dryness especially when not right.
Remeber, exfoliation boosts skin cell turnover revealing new skin cells however, when done excessively and/or using harsh skincare products, the above manifestations are noted.
So, exfoliation should not be done more than 3 times in a week. For dry skin, twice is fine while for sensitive skin once in a week is just fine depending on your skin triggers.
