Benefits

Exfoliation is highly advisable for both men and women. It’s a great way to achieve radiant, clear and smoother skin. In addition to hydration, daily cleansing, and use of sunscreen, exfoliation should be part of your beauty regimen. Through exfoliation the top layer of dead epidermis cells are removed and a fresher, younger looking skin is revealed.

Exfoliation can benefit just about any skin type. Whether you have dry or flaky skin, oily skin, skin with acne or blackheads, pigmented or sun-damaged skin, you can definitely benefit from exfoliating.

Instant Gratification

Immediately after exfoliating, your skin will appear smoother and regain its natural glow. That’s because the thin layer of dead skin cells are buffed away from the process. This also prevents the appearance of fine lines, revealing a less wrinkled skin. Exfoliation also removes the excess dirt and oil, which usually causes blackheads, pimples and other skin problems.

How Often?

For those with normal or oily skin, exfoliating once a week is highly recommended. Dead skin stores oil, causing blackheads or even acne problems.

For those with dry and sensitive skin, exfoliation can be done every 10-12 days instead of weekly.  Removing dry skin cells from the surface of your skin will allow growth of new moisturized cells.

During the summer or warm months you can exfoliate more than usual. The heat and the humidity causes your skin to sweat more, which makes dead skin cells stick together, causing skin problems and dull appearance.

After a while you’ll be able to tell when your skin needs exfoliation and you can set a routine that works best for your skin. How frequently it needs to be done really differs from one skin type to the next.

Since it takes at least a few days for a sizeable amount of dead cells to accumulate, it is important not to overdo it. You may end up removing too many living cells and increase the chance skin damage.

Exfoliating Solutions

The Diana Stalder Exfoliating Kit is formulated to remove damaged outer skin layers through mild peeling over a 4- or 5-day process, which allows for regeneration of new smoother and softer skin. This can be ideal, especially before starting a new whitening regimen.

To achieve overall skin whitening, you can use the Diana Stalder Papaya Kojic Soap with a loofa for mild, daily micro-exfoliation. Papaya contains papain, a natural enzyme that promotes skin renewal and precipitate cell turnover, which makes it ideal and safe for daily use. Complement the Papaya Kojic with moisturizing agents such as the Diana Stalder Surely White Whitening Cream (for the face) and the Diana Stalder Surely White Whitening lotion (for the body) for quicker results.
