Is your skin not looking or feeling its best? If your skin is looking dull and lifeless, then you probably need to exfoliate. Exfoliating is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin using either a chemical, a granular substance, or an exfoliation tool. Did you know that your skin naturally sheds dead skin cells in order to make room for new cells every 30 days? Some of this dead skin that doesn't shed fully builds up and results in flaking and patchy skin, and clogged pores.
Exfoliating can improve the appearance of your skin in several ways, including leaving your skin looking brighter and can prevent clogged pores, which will result in fewer breakouts. Exfoliation can also improve the effectiveness of your regular skincare routine by enhancing the absorption of the items. Long-term exfoliation can also increase collagen production. Collagen is key to glowing, vibrant skin, as it promotes skin elasticity, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
DP Derm’s Microderm Exfoliant, while formulated to prepare for microneedling procedures, is the signature exfoliant for sensitive skin and a customer favorite. Our customers love the gentleness of this exfoliant, which is due to specially selected ingredients. This exfoliant contains bamboo powder – a mineral-rich resurfacing medium that gently buffs and exfoliates for a non-abrasive finish. This makes it suitable for daily use as a part of your regular skincare routine. Another key ingredient is lactic acid, which can have a tremendous impact on the skin. You may have heard about AHA’s (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) which are the benchmark ingredients in exfoliating products. Lactic acid, which is a member of this group, helps to remove old, dull cells on your skin's surface by breaking the bonds that hold them together. Lactic acid also stimulates cell turnover, thus encouraging the growth of new skin cells. The result? A brighter complexion, as well as smoother and softer skin.
It gets better! The Microderm Exfoliant also contains a Hylafuse™ complex, a specialized hyaluronic acid which is triple weighted for increased effectiveness in deeper layers of the skin. This complex effortlessly absorbs into the skin, thereby promoting maximum hydration and moisture. Hyaluronic makes for an amazing humectant as it can bind up to 1,000 times its weight in water! This means it holds water molecules onto the surface of your skin to keep it maximally hydrated.
To add to this impressive list of ingredients, this exfoliant for sensitive skin also contains shea and mango butters which strengthen the skin’s barrier to prevent dehydration and stripping by encouraging the skin to produce new, healthy skin cells. This combination also improves the skin's texture and elasticity and protects the skin against damage caused by UV radiation.
Last but in no way least, the formula contains aloe vera and cucumber extracts, which are both exceptional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich botanicals abundant in natural vitamins C, A, and E. With these ingredients, irritation and reactivity are visually reduced and the skin barrier is strengthened. They also work to combat the effects of aging by reducing the levels of free radicals in the skin.
A signature exfoliant for sensitive skin indeed, Dp Dermaceuticals Microderm Exfoliant exfoliates, hydrates, and moisturizes. This tube might just be the key to solving your skin issues, whatever they may be, and deserves to be a part of your regular skincare routine!
