Exfoliation is the process of removal of removing the old, dead skin cells that cling to the skin’s outermost surface. The two types of exfoliation are mechanical and chemical. People’s opportunities for seeking dermatological assistance for a myriad of conditions, including acne, rosacea, striae, photodamage, and skin cancers have increased in recent years. Chronological aging is a process of intrinsic or normal aging of the skin. Chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light leads to photodamage of the skin, which is the leading cause of extrinsic aging, or alteration of the skin due to environmental exposure. Management options for photodamaged skin include alphahydroxy acids, antioxidants, antiandrogens, moisturizers and exfoliants. Many treatments are available to reverse the damage, but their efficacy remains to be proven and they may also produce unwanted side effects. Herbal Exfoliant is a cleansing formula and treatment mask that detoxifies the skin and stimulates its metabolism. It enhances absorption and retention of moisturizing agents and restores the skin’s own natural moisture factor. Skin exfoliation improves the quality and tone of skin by assisting in the removal of dead skin cells from the surface. Herbal Exfoliant produces soft, supple, re-energized skin and prevents premature skin aging. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
