Exfoliating the skin removes dead skin cells and buildup from the top layer of the skin to reveal younger, smoother skin below. The effect is immediate and you’ll immediately both see and feel the difference.

Although results are evident after a single treatment, exfoliation must be performed consistently in order to maintain a clear and healthy complexion. However, there can be too much of a good thing in this case.

Finding the right schedule to exfoliate your skin is important – too little and you’ll risk losing that fresh, healthy glow. Too much and you’ll dry out and possibly damage your skin. Proper balance is important and the exact schedule will vary from person to person.

While there are many products on the market for this purpose, if you want professional results at a do-it-yourself price, you may want to take a look at the Timepeel Microdermabrasion device designed for use at home.
