Your Skin Type and It's Function>
Exfoliating is the removal of the top dead layer of skin cells that would normally be shed naturally by various methods,traditionally involving some form of scrubbing.Regular exfoliation helps remove tiny flakes of skin,leaving the skin deep cleansed and looking fresher and smoother.This process improves complexion and increases skin radiance since it reveals a new,shiny,velvety,smoother layer of skin which shows off the “pink”of blood better.Exfoliation is almost like removing an opaque mask to reveal the new skin beneath.
Exfoliating also helps to fade pigmention spots,removes dead cells embedded in pores on the skin and improve evenness of skin surface.By revealing the new layer of skin,exfoliating also prepares the skin better for moisturising,especially with moisturisers containing nutrients and anti-ageing agents which would be better absorbed from a new layer of skin.
Exfoliating scrubs containing detergents and an abrasive substance helps remove dead skin cells from the body but can leave the skin quite sore and inflamed due to the abrasive action.The abrasive action is not specific to the dead layer of skin and can affect the new deeper layer of skin as well.If facial skin is
examined using a microscope after using an abrasive facial scrub,scratches on the surface are visible.By removing dead skin cells,exfoliating helps remove one of the sources of the plugs that form blackheads within skin pores. back to top
Add Devina`s choice to your skin care regime
Acne is best treated and prevented by addressing ALL the factors that lead to the formation of lesions. Therefore it is logical to combine treatment with products that address different causative factors(sebum, bacteria, dead skin). The action of each preparation will be ADDITIVE and lead to a more effective and faster result than can be achieved by a single product alone. It is usual to apply one product in the morning and a different one in the evening. However there are also products available that contain TWO of the active agents in the one application. All sufferers want instant results. You can help yourself by using this technique.
Complement, augment and enhance your existing acne treatment by taking advantage of the fact that by adding a product that addresses a different causative factor to your regime will enhance the existing treatment synergistically (An additive action) by producing FASTER and more EFFECTIVE results. Add DEVINA`S CHOICE peel-off face and body mask to your existing medical treatment for acne to enhance its effects. back to top |
