At this time, we remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, allowing the pores to breathe, reducing the chances of acne and blackheads, and making the skin much fresher and more even. Moreover, serums and creams are absorbed much better on freshly exfoliated skin.
Regular, but not excessive exfoliation helps maintain the skin's natural balance and can even delay the signs of aging.
What is peeling, and why is it good for your skin?
The purpose of peeling (exfoliation) is to free the skin from dead skin cells and impurities. This can be achieved in two main ways:
-
by physical method (grainy scrubs),
-
by chemical method (using acids).
Both solutions help to make the skin smoother, brighter, and healthier, while reducing skin imperfections and uneven skin tone.
What types of exfoliation exist?
1. Physical exfoliation
Performed with granular products, with gentle scrubbing.
Ideal for normal or oily skin.
2. Chemical exfoliation
Contains AHA, BHA, or PHA acids that dissolve dead cells.
Especially effective for oily, problematic, acne-prone skin.
Recommended product:
Maruderm AHA 10% + BHA 2% Exfoliating Face Serum – helps to cleanse pores, lightens skin imperfections.
3. Enzymatic exfoliation
Works with fruit enzymes, extra gentle.
Super choice for sensitive skin.
Recommended product:
Maruderm Enzymatic Powder with Fruit Enzymes – gently refreshes the skin.
How to properly exfoliate?
-
Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser.
-
Apply the exfoliator with gentle, circular motions.
-
Leave the product on as described.
-
Rinse thoroughly.
-
Use a moisturizer and sunscreen.
Extra tip:
Always follow exfoliation with a good moisturizer, such as:
Maruderm Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer, which helps restore the skin's moisture content.
How often should you exfoliate?
-
Oily, normal skin: once a week
-
Dry, sensitive skin: every 2–4 weeks
-
Problematic, acne-prone skin: once a week (with caution)
The key is consistency, not strength!
After exfoliation: what should you not skip?
The skin is more sensitive at this time, so it is essential:
-
hydration,
-
sun protection!
Recommended product:
Maruderm SPF 50+ 100% Mineral Sunscreen Cream – protects fresh skin from UV damage.
