Why Exfoliation Matters: The Science Behind Radiant, Healthy Skin
In the skincare industry, effective exfoliation is essential for maintaining both the skin’s protective barrier and a refined, luminous appearance. When skin metabolism slows and dead skin cells accumulate, the result is often dullness, rough texture, and clogged pores. At this stage, external intervention becomes necessary—and that’s where exfoliating products come into play.
It’s important to note that exfoliation does not mean removing the entire stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin). Instead, it refers to gently eliminating excess dead skin cells, allowing newer, healthier cells to surface. This natural renewal process helps skin appear brighter, smoother, and more even-toned.
The Role of the Stratum Corneum
The stratum corneum is composed of 15 to 20 layers of dead keratinocytes that form a barrier between our skin and the external environment. This protective layer：
• Shields the skin from bacteria, pollutants, and environmental stressors
• Helps retain moisture and oil, preserving elasticity and glow
• Maintains skin health and balance
However, when this layer becomes excessively thick due to poor cell turnover, it can hinder the absorption of active ingredients and dull the complexion.
💡 Proper Exfoliation Starts with Clean Skin
Before exfoliating, the skin should be thoroughly cleansed. This step removes impurities, oil, and makeup residues, allowing exfoliating agents to work more effectively without pushing dirt deeper into the pores.
