Exfoliation, the key to a flawless complexion

We are all looking for perfect skin and a flawless complexion, but too often we neglect the most important step: exfoliation. If you really want to improve the overall quality of your skin and act on ALL skin problems (signs of aging, dull complexion, enlarged pores, imperfections, pigment spots), it is essential to exfoliate your skin regularly. We will understand why in this article!

Exfoliation, the key to a flawless complexion

1. Exfoliation helps remove dead cells

Exfoliation acts as a much-needed scrub for your skin. Over time, dead cells accumulate on the surface of the epidermis, leaving the skin dull and tired. The skin is suffocated by dead cells and the cells no longer renew properly. By eliminating these cells, exfoliation allows the skin to breathe, promoting brighter complexion and finer and smoother skin texture.

2. Exfoliation stimulates cell renewal

Exfoliation stimulates the natural cell renewal process. By eliminating dead cells, it encourages the skin to produce new cells, thus promoting faster skin regeneration. This process contributes to reduce the signs of aging, such as fine lines and pigment spots, for visibly younger skin. As we age, cells renew themselves less and less quickly. To maintain younger-looking skin for longer, you must stimulate their renewal!

3. Exfoliation improves the absorption of treatments

It is quite logical ! When the skin is clogged with cells deaths and other impurities, it cannot absorb the active ingredients. Conversely, skin cleared of impurities and dead cells is better prepared to absorb the benefits of care products. Moisturizers, serums and other treatments penetrate more effectively, thus maximizing their effects. Exfoliation creates the perfect backdrop for your favorite products to work effectively.

4. Exfoliation fades imperfections

Do you know why imperfections appear? Because the pores are clogged. Our skin is constantly confronted with dirt, sweat, excess oil, makeup residue and hormonal changes. Pores become clogged and pimples and other imperfections rear their ugly heads.

Regular exfoliation can help prevent and treat certain skin problems such as acne and blackheads. By eliminating dead cells that could clog pores, it promotes clearer skin and minimizes the risk of unsightly pimples forming.

5. Exfoliation fades dark spots

Targeted exfoliation helps get rid of pigmented skin cells on the surface of the skin. By eliminating these melanin-laden cells, responsible for the coloring of pigment spots, exfoliation helps to gradually lighten the skin and reduce the appearance of spots.

While age spots are often associated with scarring, exfoliation can also play a role in improving them. By eliminating damaged cells and promoting regeneration, it helps to fade the appearance of pigmented scars, providing smoother, more even-toned skin.

best peeling for me, allows me to keep beautiful skin even in summer with a gentle and effective peeling

Efficient

I have dry skin and a few drops are enough to deeply moisturize it. It's not greasy or sticky and is very pleasant to use.
It smells good and my skin doesn't feel tight anymore.
I recommend it.

My new routine

I have been using it morning and evening for almost a month and I have already noticed an improvement in blood circulation and the appearance of my skin.

Very pleasant

I'm delighted with Oryza Lab's cleansing oil. Not only is it extremely pleasant, but it's also very effective, without harming the skin or eyes. Its ultra-silky texture makes removing makeup a real pleasure.

Super

Super gua sha! Very pleasant to wake up the face in the morning! So many good effects on my skin
