The principal function of the skin is to act as a two-way protective barrier. The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin, constantly producing new cells which are gradually shed at the skin’s outer surface. This non-living outer layer (stratum corneum) is the skin’s first line of defense and can thicken with advancing age, disease, or exposure to sunlight. This gives the skin a dull, thickened, “leathery” appearance, often with clogged pores and fine wrinkling. Exfoliation is the process of reducing excess non-living skin cells, which lets the natural beauty of the skin show, unblock pores, and reduce the barrier function of the skin just enough to allow better penetration of topical preparations. Increased skin cell turnover stimulates collagen production, increases skin thickness and improves skin tone. Exfoliation can be chemical, mechanical, or a combination of both.
