If you’re just starting to develop a skincare routine, you’ve probably heard the term “exfoliation.” Exfoliation sloughs away dead skin cells and promotes new skin cell layer formation. When this occurs, you’re left with fresh and glowing skin. Here are some of the benefits you can achieve with mild exfoliants (especially on your scalp!).

1. Exfoliation unclogs your pores and reduces acne

Have you been looking for a way to stop the formation of black and whiteheads? Using a mild exfoliant can help you to remove the uppermost dead skin cell layer which unclogs your pores and creates stoppages. If you have issues with your sebaceous glands producing oily secretions, which in turn result in pimples and pustules, then a mild exfoliant can help you keep your pores unclogged.

As noted above, unclogging your pores can help reduce any acne that you’re experiencing. A good exfoliant can help you gently remove dead cells from acne and reveal healthy skin beneath it. If you’re looking for a quick solution to your breakouts, incorporating an exfoliant in your existing skincare regime can be a great next step.

2. Exfoliation prevents product buildup

If you’re considering a mild exfoliant for your scalp as a bald man, then you should note its benefits for providing a fresh start. Exfoliants remove any buildup from the scalp and allow you to unclog any blocked follicles. This will boost the health of the scalp or hair overall.

3. Exfoliation improves texture

Is your skin dry and flaky? If so, try exfoliating. It can allow you to remove the dead skin cells and provide much-need relief from the itch. This is especially true for an itchy scalp that’s struggling with dandruff.  Next time you run your hand over the back of your head and see flakes come with it, don’t panic. Just exfoliate the next time you’re in the shower.

4. Exfoliation helps skincare products to work efficiently

When your skin is smooth, your products glide much more effectively onto the service of your skin. Using a mild exfoliant to remove the upper layer of dead skin cells allows your skin to better absorb all those rich ingredients from your moisturizers. Dead skin creates a barrier between your skin and skincare products. Don’t work against your skin or products — exfoliate today!

5. Exfoliation evens out skin

 Are you feeling self-conscious about the way your bald head looks? Everyone — yes, everyone — suffers from acne scars, freckles, hyperpigmentation, sunspots, etc. It’s just part of being human. However, if you’re in pursuit of even skin, then a mild exfoliant can help. It will help even out the skin tone and lighten the imperfections over time to reveal spotless skin.
