Why Your Skin Needs Exfoliation 🌿 Esthetician Advice on Skincare Exfoliation

The Science of Exfoliation – Your Guide to Smarter Skincare

If you are Under 50, Are You Overlooking This Key Step in Your Skincare Routine? Exfoliation!

Do you exfoliate? Gentle exfoliation regularly is better than the harshest scrubs you can find to "feel smooth" ... they actually do more harm then good to your skin. Work smarter not harder!

Your Skin Is Constantly Changing—Here’s How to Keep Up

Every day, your skin sheds millions of dead cells. Without proper exfoliation, these cells accumulate, leading to an uneven dry texture, clogged pores making them appear larger, and reduced effectiveness of your skincare products. If you’ve ever felt like your serums or moisturizers aren’t working as well as they should, your skin barrier may not be desquamating (shedding) dead skin cells at a healthy rate.

The solution? Gentle, science-backed methods of exfoliation. (And see an esthetician for regular treatments.)

Why Enzyme Exfoliation Works Smarter (Not Harder) 🔬

Unlike aggressive scrubs or chemical peels that can disrupt the skins protective surface know as it's barrier, enzyme exfoliation works with your skin’s natural renewal process. Papaya enzymes, in particular, contain proteolytic enzymes that break down and eat away the proteins holding dead skin cells together—limiting potential triggers for inflammation or damage.

🔹 Breaks down dead skin cells by breaking down keratin proteins in dead skin cells and munch them away—no harsh scrubbing required.

🔹 Encourages natural cell turnover, promoting smoother, more resilient skin.

🔹 Enhances product absorption, so your skincare routine works more effectively.

How to Use Papaya Enzyme Cream Polish for Maximum Results

To get the full benefits of enzyme exfoliation, consistency is key. Here’s how to integrate it into your routine:

✔️ Use 1-2X per week after cleansing.

✔️ Apply a thin layer, massaging gently into the skin.

✔️ Leave on for 1-2 minutes to allow enzymes to work.

✔️ Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.

✔️ Follow with a hydrating serum & moisturizer to support the skin barrier.

How to Use the Microdermabrasion Creme (a gentle natural mechanical method for skin that is more resilient)

To reveal smoother, more radiant skin with our Microdermabrasion Cream, consistency is key.

Here’s how to integrate it into your routine:

✔️ Start with clean, dry skin.

✔️ Apply a small amount of the enzyme creme to your face, focusing on areas with uneven texture.

✔️ Gently massage in circular motions for about 1-2 minutes to boost exfoliation.

✔️ Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. Apply Toner

✔️ Follow with your NEW GEN C & hydrating cream to lock in moisture and support the skin barrier.

Pairing Exfoliation with Vitamin C for Enhanced Skin Function 🍊

Once dead skin cells are removed, your skin is primed for active ingredients to penetrate deeper. NEW GEN C is designed to work in synergy with a complete home skin routine, allowing its antioxidant-rich formula to:

✅ Brighten and even skin tone by neutralizing free radicals.

✅ Support collagen production, reinforcing skin structure.

✅ Enhance skin's defense power against UV rays, blue light and external pollutants that can, prevent discolorations as well as premature signs aging

A gentle exfoliation

By pairing Papaya Enzyme Cream Polish ( Or a gentler, popular creamy enzyme mask) with the vitamins C in NEW GEN C, you create an optimal environment for skin renewal—without over-exfoliating or causing irritation.

Smarter Skincare with Enzyme Power

Your skin is a dynamic, living organ that requires balance—not extremes. By integrating enzyme-powered exfoliation into your routine, you allow your skin to function at its best, supporting its protective barrier and ability to absorb key nutrients.

Does this work for everyone? No

If you're over 50, your skin becomes thinner and more delicate, making gentle skincare routines essential. At-home exfoliation methods should be milder and performed less frequently (weekly or even less often) to prevent stripping the skin of its natural moisturizing factors.

Regular professional facial treatments effectively address cellular buildup. Complementing these treatments with a gentle, monthly at-home maintenance routine helps maintain glowing, healthy skin.

An effective alternative approach includes a nighttime renewal routine using a retinol night cream, which gently promotes cell turnover. Pair this with a 4D hyaluronic acid serum for enhanced hydration and plump skin.

Recommended Nighttime Routine:

1. Cleanse your skin thoroughly.

2. Apply 1-2 drops of 4D Hyaluronic Acid Serum to damp skin and wait until fully absorbed.

3. Apply your Retinol Night Cream, letting it dry completely.

4. If additional hydration is needed, finish with your Super Firming Cream or for drier skins our Soy Peptide nourishing Cream

This regimen results in waking up with softer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

Important: Introduce retinol gradually by applying it every other night for two weeks to allow your skin to acclimate.

For more advanced exfoliation routines, consult your skincare specialist after a personalized skin consultation and assessment.
