Exfoliation can smooth and soften the skin by removing dead skin cells in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis. Also known as desquamation, the removal of this “horny layer” can improve the skin’s appearance. Rough skin texture—resulting from aging, sun exposure, compromised moisture barrier, etc.—reflects light unevenly, making skin appear dull and sallow. Accelerating cell turnover through exfoliation smooths skin, allowing it to reflect light uniformly for a healthy looking glow and brightness.

Smoothing the skin with abrasive or granular particles is a type of physical exfoliation, which has been used for thousands of years to reveal...

These micro vibrations act as a micro-massage for the skin, which is said to promote detoxification and lymph drainage. With...
