Exfoliation And Oily Skin
When you exfoliate your face you are simply speeding up the natural process of shedding the external level of dead skin cells. This process unblocks pores, keeps skin clean and aids in reducing acne breakouts. In normal skin, the skin naturally sheds dead skin cells with out any aid from exfoliating.
Acne prone skin has a problem when it comes to exfoliating naturally. Acne prone and oily skin produces even more dead skin cells than normal skin and these dead skin cells have difficulty shedding from the skin. They result in clogged pores which lead to blackheads or spots. That is the reason why exfoliation is more necessary for acne prone and oily skin. Exfoliating can keep the follicles free of blockages and decrease formation of blemishes.
Physical exfoliants are the most common scrubs that consist of synthetic beads that physically lift the damaged and dry skin cells from your face. There are natural exfoliating scrubs that use products such as almonds or apricot seeds instead of synthetic beads but in this case the synthetic option is best. This is because the natural products have sharp corners and can irritate the skin. If you have sensitive skin, you should be cautious with any type of physical exfoliant. They cause friction which can irritate the inflamed skin. You may be better off using a chemical exfoliant if you have inflamed acne.
Chemical exfoliants are based on mild acids that are used to dissolve dry or damaged skin cells. These can be found in a number of products including masks, gels and night creams. There is a large difference in the strength of chemical exfoliants so you have to make sure you aren't using any strong products too regularly. All chemical exfoliants dry out the skin so it's necessary to use a moisturizer after exfoliation.
There are other physical exfoliating products that can be used, however these are not normally used on the face. Such products include exfoliating brushes and exfoliating gloves. Exfoliating gloves are simply gloves with an exfoliating texture on the palm side. These are used to exfoliate your skin in the bath or shower. It is best to get exfoliating gloves that aren't too rough. I do not personally use these myself but enough people love using them. They leave your skin feeling clean and soft. Again it's essential to moisturize after exfoliating your skin.
How often you exfoliate is also important. That's the primary reason that I decided to write this post. There are some products out there that are marketed as a “daily exfoliating scrub” and some advise that you use them twice a day. I used to exfoliate every day as I thought it was a substitute to using cleansers. I soon noticed that this was too harsh on my face and it caused my face to become oilier and more spotty. Now I only exfoliate once a week as that is what works best for me. How regularly you exfoliate is actually is based on on the sensitivity of your skin, however I do not recommend using an exfoliating cleanser every day like I did.
There are also different variations on the strengths of exfoliating scrubs. Some are mild and these can be used more regularly. Generally, how often you exfoliate, depends on the product you use and the sensitivity of your skin. If you feel that your skin is getting inflamed when you exfoliate, you should try a more mild scrub or reduce the frequency of exfoliations.
