Is exfoliation doing more damage than good? We ask the experts
When we think of skin exfoliation, you might think loofahs, salt scrubs and apricot kernels but the best ways to exfoliate will actually depend on your skincare concern and skin type. Exfoliating too regularly, or too harshly can actually be bad for your skin but how much is too much? Just like your ‘new year, new me’ resolutions, sometimes revealing your new, radiant skin needs a helping hand.

The really important skincare step you’re probably skipping
As you grow older, the skin’s natural ability to slough off dead skin slows down. This is further exacerbated by sun damage, having dry or oily skin types and skin disorders. As the natural process of shedding is compromised, the dead skin sits on the surface longer. The accumulated dead skin settles in pores and over time it mixes with sebum which can block pores and lead to breakouts.
