Adding a hydrating moisturizer to your skincare regime isn’t a cure-all for dry skin. There’s a number of things you must do in order to achieve a soft and smooth complexion. The secret is exfoliation, which scrubs away dead skin cell build-up and makes room for new, healthy cells to grow. Since exfoliating can be quite intensive if not done properly, it’s important to find the right product that gently exfoliates to avoid damaging the skin. If you’re not careful with the exfoliator you’re using, it can lead to microtears which can make the skin sensitive and weaken the skin barrier. Gentle scrubs and peeling exfoliators are the two best formulations to look for when purchasing an effective exfoliant and could be the key to smoothing your dry complexion.
