Regular face exfoliation is the best way to keep your skin clear and healthy looking. Exfoliating is skin treatment where the dead skin cells are sloughed off by a brush, sponge or by other means.
Face exfoliation should be an integral part of your skin care. When you exfoliate your face, you remove the dead surface skin cells and the oil that cause pores to plug and lead to problems like blackhead, whiteheads, pimples and acne. If you don't remove these cells regularly they can clog the sebaceous pores and make your skin look dull and patchy.
Benefits of exfoliation:
Improves even tone of complexion.
Makes your skin look brighter and feel smoother.
Encourages the growth of new skin cells
Increases blood circulation.
Improves skin texture and colour.
Removes blockages.
Allows skin to maintain the correct amount of oil.
Skin preparations are absorbed more easily.
Colour foundation application is more natural.

Apply an Annique exfoliating masque like Detox Silk Masque or Calm Down, it will bring a glow to your skin and nourish it.
