   The winter air can certainly wreak havoc on even the healthiest skin, so it is important to learn how to properly exfoliate in order to get rid of the patches of dry skin. We tell you why exfoliation is important and how to get the glow back and keep clogged pores and blackheads at bay this season.

What is exfoliation?Layers of dead epidermal cells on your skin can leave your face dull and patchy. Exfoliation is a process which helps you remove these layers and expose the fresh glowing skin beneath it. Unlike expensive medical and other beauty processes, exfoliating is a simple way to younger looking skin.

How does it help?By removing the dead cells, it prevents the blockage of skin pores, preventing acne and blackheads. And by removing the blockage of pores, it also helps in better penetration of the active ingredients in your skin care products. If you suffer from flaky dry patches on your face, it will help in giving you an even skin tone. By exfoliating regularly on a weekly basis, you can even slow down the aging process of your skin.

How to do it right?By using soaps and other cleansers, you can only remove the dirt and grime on your skin. To remove the dead cells, exfoliation is a must. Loofahs are a good choice when it comes to exfoliation. But they should be strictly avoided when it comes to your face.
