Including exfoliation in your skincare routine is crucial to clear radiant skin. Whether for your face or body, exfoliation plays a vital role in maintaining smooth, clear, and youthful-looking skin. By removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and stimulating cell turnover, exfoliation helps reveal fresh, radiant skin ready to absorb the benefits of other skincare products.

There are several methods of exfoliation, each offering unique benefits that can be tailored to different skin types and concerns. Physical exfoliants, such as gentle scrubs, work by manually buffing away dead skin cells and stimulating circulation. These are great for improving skin texture and promoting a healthy glow. Chemical exfoliants use ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to dissolve dead skin cells and unclog pores. These exfoliants are particularly effective for treating acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. Chemical peels like VI or mid-depth are a more intensive form of chemical exfoliation that an aesthetician can perform to reveal smoother, more even-toned skin. Chemical peels are a valuable and very effective tool in our arsenal for the exfoliation of the face and the body.

Incorporating exfoliation into your skincare routine can also enhance the efficacy of other products, such as moisturizers and serums. By removing the barrier of dead skin cells, exfoliation allows active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their benefits. This means that your favorite hydrating serums and nourishing oils can work more effectively to keep your skin healthy and hydrated. We often think of only the face when looking at our skincare routine; instead, we should consider the whole body. Exfoliation is very effective in keeping all of your skin healthy and radiant!

Although exfoliation is an excellent addition to your skincare routine, it is essential not to go overboard. You should exfoliate in moderation and choose products suitable for your skin type to avoid over-exfoliation that can cause irritation, sensitivity, and even damage to the skin barrier. It’s best to start with a skin consultation to determine the best exfoliation options for you; for example, people with eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea should use caution and get expert advice when using exfoliants.

In conclusion, exfoliation is a critical step in any skincare routine to help you achieve a smooth, radiant complexion. By incorporating different types of exfoliants and products to enhance exfoliation, you can effectively address a range of skin concerns and maintain healthy, glowing skin. Schedule a consultation with a licensed aesthetician to learn how to include exfoliation in your skincare routine for optimal results.

Product Spotlight

Skinceuticals® Cell Cycle Catalyst

Cell Cycle Catalyst, new from SkinCeuticals®, is a serum used daily to accelerate cellular turnover and stimulate barrier renewal. This anti-aging exfoliant is a light serum that visibly improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, pores, and blemishes.

“What I like most about this boosting serum is that it is gentle enough to use on sensitive skin yet strong enough to give any skin type a noticeable boost in appearance. Anything that preps the skin for in-office treatments is a winner! We are excited to have Cell Cycle Catalyst in the office.” – Jennifer, Lead Licensed Medical Aesthetician

Client Testimonials

"If you are a first-time plastic surgery patient, this practice is the right fit for you!! Attended an informational session on cosmetic surgery (because I am a newbie to all of this) lead by the Doctors of this practice and was drawn toward their values and recommendations. I went to other practices that did not listen to what I was asking for and suggesting things I was not comfortable with. Not with Cynthia Gregg's practice. These Doctors listen to what you want, give advice that best suits your wants/body, and make you feel comfortable and more knowledgeable throughout the whole process. I am 3 months post-op and have recovered perfectly; despite my nerves leading up to surgery. The Doctors/Nurses/Receptionists have been extremely nice and patient with all of my questions every visit."

Client Testimonials

"I recently had facial surgery with Dr. Gregg and I cannot say enough about the exceptional quality of her surgery, her detailed and caring preop and postop care, and her wonderful staff. If you want excellent results, you need to go to Dr. Gregg, I also would like to second that for Dr. Wu. She did a Mommy Makeover on my tummy work not too long ago and the result was fabulous. They really are the only game in town!!"

Client Testimonials

"From the first time I contacted them, they made me feel at peace and assured me that they had everything under control. They clearly knew what they were doing. The doctor Cindy Wu was the only doctor who was willing to work with me after going through a botched tummy tuck and even after my surgery, they continued to check in with me to make sure everything went well and I was recovering all right. The whole staff is just amazing and the way they work with patients is spectacular. Always delivering high-quality service. I'm very thankful for all of their work and what they've done for me."

Client Testimonials

"I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Wu and the entire staff at Cynthia Gregg Face & Body Specialists. I never felt rushed or ignored during any of my visits. Dr. Wu is so patient with answering your questions (even if I email her) making me feel like I had personalized service. My surgery took a little longer than expected. When I asked why, she explained she was taking her time to make sure it was right. You definitely don’t feel like you are just a number or on an assembly line here. My best friend accompanied me to 2 post-op visits and was so impressed she is considering booking a consult. I will definitely return if I decide to have additional work done. In the meantime, I will continue to purchase my skincare products there. They demonstrate their love for their work and their patients."
