Why Exfoliation Should Be In Your Skin Care Routine

Regular exfoliation in your skin care routine is a step you don’t want to pass up. If your skin is dry, dull, rough, uneven or greasy, it indicates that your skin is not getting the optimal care it needs.
Your skin naturally sheds dead cells on a 30-day cycle, slowing down as we age, but it doesn't always do the job right. Dead cells are left behind in dry, rough or flaky patches that will clog your pores contributing to the likelihood of other unpleasant skin conditions. No thanks!

It is found in grapeseed oil and cocoa butter, both of which are in our Eyewaken Eye Cream to keep the area smooth, firm, and protected.
