Is it necessary to exfoliate the skin in cold weather?

The high average temperature in summer, the high rate of basal metabolism of the body, and the feeling of sticky skin surface often make many people feel that exfoliation is necessary every week. But in the cold season, the average temperature drops, the stickiness of the outer skin is gone, and many people will question whether there is no need to exfoliate.

Li Ruoyan, a dermatologist at Chongqing My Lai Plastic Surgery and Beauty Hospital, said that keratin is a cell that falls after the skin's basal metabolism. Although the basic metabolism of the skin will slow down during the cold season, and the blood circulation system is not as smooth as in spring and summer, the skin cells are also upgraded regularly, so it is necessary to exfoliate even though the weather is still cold.

Benefits of regular exfoliation

Avoid clogged hair follicles

When the mass layer is deposited, it will cause the hair follicle to block, the air will oxidize and become blackheads, or the outbreak of acne and closed mouth comedones on the face due to the closed pores of the skin. Proper exfoliation can properly remove skin pore stains and prevent the occurrence of acne. The basic care of acne skin or closed acne skin is regular exfoliation to help prevent the continuous outbreak of acne on the face.

Brightens skin and avoids pigmentation

Cold weather cuticle deposition is too thick, will cause the skin to become more and more dull and not smooth, clean up unnecessary keratin on time, can play a role in yellowing and whitening. In addition, the elimination of unnecessary keratin is also beneficial to the excretion of pigments out of the body, avoiding pigmentation, leading to skin dullness and further pigmentation.

Promotes basal metabolism

Unnecessary dead cells will be deposited on the surface of the skin if they are not removed, slowing down the rate of cell upgrading, and if the brittle stratum corneum is removed, it will not only make the skin more and more smooth, but also stimulate the growth and development of new cells.

Promotes skin digestion and absorption of nutrients

The deposition of brittle keratin will endanger the digestion and absorption of skin care products by the skin, and eliminate the stratum corneum, so that skin care products can fully function and promote the absorption of skin care products by the skin.

Improves skin ductility and luminosity

After exfoliation (whether it is physical exfoliation or organic chemical exfoliation), many people will find that the skin has a soft feeling, the skin feels more malleable, and the face will also have a higher level of comfort, which is because when the skin stratum corneum accumulates, the stratum corneum is lumpy and causes a tight feeling, and after the stratum corneum is removed, the natural skin state is better.
