Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells from the face or body. The two forms of exfoliation are physical and chemical. An example of physical exfoliation would be dermaplaning while an example of chemical exfoliation would be use of an enzyme derived from fruit acids. Although those are not the only two options, treatments like these were created to assist in the overall health of your skin. Progressive plans that include regular exfoliation should alleviate hyper-pigmentation, even out texture and ensure better product absorption.
