Why Exfoliating Matters

Why exfoliate anyway? For starters, exfoliation can prevent issues like acne, blackheads, whiteheads and other trapped matter in your skin. It can help keep your skin clear as a result, keeping your complexion looking consistent. Exfoliation also helps to polish skin, leaving it feeling smoother, softer and more radiant. Exfoliation will help to buff away dead skin cells for smaller-looking pores, and Merle Norman exfoliating products in particular are designed to add balance and conditioning benefits through antioxidants and other vitamins.

The Types of Exfoliants

You might be most familiar with exfoliation through the use of a coarse scrub pad – but there are many different ways to exfoliate. One such way is through the use of a charcoal scrub, like Merle Norman’s Exfoliating Charcoal Scrub. This scrub includes detoxifying charcoal and mineral-rich volcanic sand for a noticeable effect. Another method of exfoliation is glycolic acid, like with our Glycolic Rejuvenating Pads. This gentle acid provides effective exfoliation without the need for coarse scrubbing that can lead to redness.
