Exfoliating cream is a cream or gel containing a rough porous surface with densified chemicals which removes the outer layer from dead skin cells and speeds up the process of natural cell regeneration by promoting new cellular growth. It is widely used in Europe, Africa and Asia in order to avoid wrinkles, improve skin texture and increase cell turnover.
Exfoliating cream can also be applied as an exfoliating scrub with casein proteins, glycolic acid or alpha hydroxy acids that helps to remove blackheads/whiteheads on the face skin. However, it may cause redness if used on sensitive areas such as around the eyes depending on their pH levels. It can also be used in treating acne scars while helping to prevent new break-outs from occurring.
The benefits of exfoliating cream
1. Reduced pore size
It promotes the skin’s natural renewing process and helps to reduce the small pore size of your skin, including small paper-like holes that are found on the nose, cheek and chin. The pores will get a clean feel after usage of the product.
2. Smooth texture
The exfoliating cream promotes cell renewal by removing dead skin cells, dead cells left on skin surface after undergoing repeated washing and pollution, soothes inflamed or damaged areas due to eczema or acne, helps prevent future breakouts, exfoliates and revitalizes dull or dry looking skin as well as layers of oils in pores.
3. It makes you look younger
Exfoliating cream prevents damage as a result of ageing. It helps to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. It is also used to prevent stretch marks that can occur during pregnancy, weight loss or gain.
4. Prevent formation of new pimples and blackheads
Exfoliating cream prevents blackheads and white heads while it also prevents new pimples from forming. It stimulates the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamins A, B and C which are essential for healthy skin and hair. Hyaluronic acid helps to retain moisture in the skin.
