Why exfoliation matters: Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and boosts cell turnover for smoother, brighter skin

How often should you exfoliate? Daily exfoliation can improve skin texture and brightness, but it’s important to find an exfoliant that won’t irritate or dry out the skin. 

Finding the right exfoliant: Look for formulas that pair exfoliants with calming or nourishing ingredients, to slough away dead skin without compromising the external barrier. 



What is exfoliation?

The skin is constantly generating new cells at the lower dermis level to replace dead skin cells on the upper layer, otherwise known as the epidermis. As we age, our cell turnover process slows down and cells gather unevenly on the skin’s surface, which leads to dull skin, dry skin, rough skin, and an overall lackluster appearance.
Exfoliating every day helps to remove dead skin cells, revealing the fresh, young cells below. Powder-based exfoliation, like Daily Microfoliant, is one way to exfoliate the skin on your face and body. You can use this combination of physical, chemical, and enzymatic exfoliants every day because when activated by water, the oat-based, ultra-fine particles quickly dissolve into a creamy, frothy lather that smooths and soothes all skin.

 

So, do i need to exfoliate every day?

The short answer? Yes. Exfoliating every day helps to remove dead skin cells, revealing the fresh, young cells below. Powder-based exfoliation, like Daily Microfoliant, is one way to exfoliate the skin on your face and body. You can use this combination of physical, chemical, and enzymatic exfoliants every day because when activated by water, the rice-based, ultra-fine particles quickly dissolve into a creamy, frothy lather that smooths and brightens skin.  

Daily exfoliation is essential for smooth, healthy-looking skin but using the wrong exfoliant can cause:
• Irritation
• Increased sensitivity
• Breakouts
• Dry, dehydrated flaky skin


Exfoliation is not one-size-fits-all — everyone’s skin is different, and that’s why it’s important to find the right exfoliant for you. Daily Microfoliant makes that easy, because its gentle rice-based formula actually smooths skin while exfoliating away dead, dull skin cells. Plus, it’s a lot easier on your skin, and more affordable than getting a chemical peel every few months. 

 

What exfoliant should i use daily?

Daily Microfoliant produces a powerful smoothing effect while remaining gentle enough for everyday use. This gentle vegan exfoliating powder polishes skin while supporting the moisture barrier for healthier-looking skin. Its rice-based formula — rich in Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) — activates upon contact with water, releasing Papain, Salicylic Acid and Rice Bran. Together, these powerful ingredients polish away dead skin cells and remove dulling surface debris for a more even skin tone and texture. 

Does Daily Microfoliant contain active ingredients for exfoliation?

When it comes to finding the right exfoliant, look no further. Daily Microfoliant contains active ingredients that work together to polish your skin to perfection. Along with Rice Bran and Phytic Acid, you’ll find the following ingredients that help nourish the skin and brighten the complexion for smoother, softer, healthy-looking skin:

• Salicylic Acid

• White Tea and Licorice Root

• Colloidal Oatmeal and Allantoin
