Sring Time Renewal With Exfoliation

Springtime is the best time to renew, restore and rejuvenate! Spring is all about turning over to new life - and it can be translated to your skin care too - at a cellular level. How can you do this? Why,exfoliation of course!

Exfoliation is the process of removing old and dead skin cells from your outermost layer of skin. It's a tried and true method of taking care of one's skin - and is used in many skincare products, medical procedures and cosmetic treatments.

You can exfoliate manually, or through the use of chemicals or medical-grade skincare products and treatments. What areas need to be exfoliated? Your whole body will benefit from exfoliation. Most people scrub up in the shower or bathtub - and are able to remove most of the oldest dead skin cells by this simple daily task.

Of course, exfoliation has been going on for centuries - from the ancient Egyptians (Cleopatra had some kickin' skin!) to present day - people have been removing the dead skin cells. It's said that wine was used as a chemical peel during the Middle Ages!

As skin cells die, they become saturated with keratin - which protects the skin from elemental damage. This makes the cells thicker, and through the aging process, causes the skin to become dry, uneven, and rough.

Exfoliation gently and naturally encourages removal of this outer layer of skin, revealing the new skin beneath. It also keeps skin clean and pores clear of clogging.

At Le Beau Visage - we offer several medical grade skincare products that will help the exfoliation process - as well as chemical peels and other treatments to help turn over the old... to bring forth the new skin, just like SPRING.
