Exfoliation is a crucial step to achieving radiant skin, but if done incorrectly, it can damage your skin. This article will highlight 5 common mistakes people make when exfoliating at home. Additionally, Laboho Spa introduces two professional treatments, DIAMOND GLOW and YOUTH, to help you achieve smooth and healthy skin. Let’s explore now!

What is Exfoliation?

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells that have flaked off and accumulated on the surface of the skin. It is an essential step in skincare, helping the skin become clearer, smoother, and better at absorbing nutrients from skincare products.

Why Do We Need Exfoliation?

• Skin becomes dull and lifeless.
• Surface feels rough and uneven.
• Clogged pores.
• Reduced ability to absorb nutrients.
• Slower skin regeneration process.

The Importance of Proper Exfoliation

Exfoliating at home is an indispensable step in skincare, removing accumulated dead skin cells to promote regeneration and better absorption of nutrients. Proper exfoliation not only makes the skin smooth and radiant but also helps prevent skin problems such as acne, large pores, and dullness. However, incorrect exfoliation can cause unnecessary damage to the skin. Understanding the process and avoiding common mistakes is the key to achieving the best results when exfoliating at home.

5 Common Mistakes When Exfoliating at Home

1. Not exfoliating regularly or over-exfoliating:
   Many people either neglect regular exfoliation, causing a buildup of dead skin that hinders regeneration, or overdo it, especially with harsh products, damaging the skin’s natural barrier. This can lead to dryness, irritation, and sensitivity. A reasonable schedule (1-2 times per week depending on your skin type) is essential.
   
   
2. Using the wrong exfoliation product:
   There are various exfoliation products available, such as scrubs, gels, or chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA). Choosing the wrong product can negatively affect your skin. For instance, those with sensitive skin should avoid scrubs and opt for gentle chemical exfoliants or enzyme-based products instead. Always select products suitable for your skin type.
   
   
3. Unclear about cleansing or exfoliating first:
   This is a common question many overlook. Experts suggest it doesn’t matter whether you cleanse or exfoliate first, as long as both steps are done thoroughly. However, using a suitable cleanser after exfoliating ensures that your skin is deeply cleaned and ready for subsequent skincare steps.
   
   
4. Rubbing the skin too harshly:
   Many people tend to scrub their skin too hard during exfoliation, especially with physical scrubs, which can lead to irritation and micro-damage. Be gentle and use circular motions when exfoliating to avoid harming your skin.
   
   
5. Skipping post-exfoliation care:
   Some people focus solely on exfoliation but neglect post-care steps like toner, hydrating serum, and moisturizer. Exfoliation makes the skin more sensitive, so it’s crucial to hydrate afterward to restore balance and ensure the skin is well-moisturized.
