Why Is It Important to Exfoliate in the Winter?

With the season’s transition to unforgiving chills, we foresee unwanted dryness and dullness on our skin, and well, we can’t seem to hydrate enough. Whether it’s a deeply hydrating moisturizer or nourishing facial oil, we want to lather it up! While hydration is definitely key, the crucial steps that will make a difference to your winter skincare routine are, in fact, exfoliation and masking.

Why is winter exfoliation essential?

With the onset of winter, skin cells become dehydrated and dry more quickly, resulting in scaly, dull skin. While hydrating your skin is the key, integrating exfoliation as part of your winter skincare routine is also essential to restoring fresh skin cells. A good face scrub or scrub will gently remove dead skin cells, purify and cleanse dirt, and revitalize dull skin for a healthy glow; all this while preserving the natural oil content of the skin and further improving the properties of its moisturizer.

As the skin becomes drier, it also tends to lose its flexibility and elasticity, resulting in early signs of aging, such as increasingly visible fine lines and pigmentation.
