What is skin retexturing? Retexturing refers to the process of using exfoliation products, including serums and acids, to remove dead skin cells and increase skin cell turnover. The result is smoother, firmer, and brighter skin.

Is exfoliating good for your face? Yes. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin that can lead to a dull, uneven appearance. Gentle facial exfoliation helps make your skin look brighter and smoother. Over time, it can also help increase collagen production to help firm and tighten your skin and reduce the appearance of surface lines.

How often should you exfoliate your face? How often you should exfoliate your face depends on your skin type and the product used. Many chemical exfoliants, like serums containing enzymes and acids, are formulated for daily use. Those with dry or sensitive skin may want to exfoliate only once or twice a week or as directed by a skincare professional.

What does a resurfacing serum do? Resurfacing face serums are designed to promote proper exfoliation of dead skin cells while optimizing hydration and moisture levels. They can be added to your regular skincare regimen to help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the overall radiance of skin.

How do you improve skin texture? To improve skin texture on your face, you will want to build a skincare routine that includes a chemical exfoliant to help remove dead skin cells. You will also want to moisturize daily and apply sunscreen every morning.
