• What is the difference between all the types of
  exfoliation and why do you need to exfoliate?
  First Ill start by telling you a little bit
  about what the skin does. As the skin naturally
  renews we get what we call keratinization on the
  surface of the skin. These are little dead skin
  cells and what happens is if we strip the skin
  too much or we over exfoliate with the wrong type
  of exfoliant we start to get a condition called
  hyper keratinization.

• Hyper keratinization is when the surface of the
  skin starts to get stressed or feels threatened
  it produces extra dead skin or little ant
  mounds to protect it and then what happens
  during that process is bacteria will sit on those
  little ant mounds, oil that we produce gets stuck
  and then we start to breed bacteria and that
  could be why we start getting breakouts, so a
  good exfoliation technique is very important for
  skins that break out but also for aging or
  dehydrated skin.
• Its incredibly important that we exfoliate to
  help remove that keratinization or dead skin
  build up because the facts are if we dont
  exfoliate properly and then were using a good
  treatment serum or cream it wont actually
  penetrate as it creates a barrier, so it is
  important to exfoliate approximately once twice
  per week.

• Lets talk about the different types of
  exfoliant, the first type and probably the most
  common is what we call mechanical exfoliation,
  which is large granular beads that literally
  slough away dead cells. Many of them can be quite
  sharp and really irritate the skin even when
  theyre not large so it is very important to
  avoid mechanical exfoliation if you have a
  thinner skin, are more sensitive or if you have
  lots of breakouts.
• The next type of exfoliation is what we call
  enzyme exfoliation, which is generally activated
  by water and probably the most popular form of
  exfoliant as it is suitable for any skin type.
  The GDC Silky Scrub in our Excel O2 range is an
  enzyme powder and lasts 12 to 18 months so its
  not something you need to be replacing all the
  time. How it works is it gobbles dead skin
  cells and helps to lift them up and out like a
  vacuum. It contains rice extract so it helps to
  even out skin tone and colour and leaves the skin
  nice and bright and theres no stinging or
  irritation with this product so its perfect.

• The third type of exfoliation is a peel. There
  are many different peels but the most common
  peels are alpha hydroxy or beta hydroxy acid (AHA
  or BHA) The most popular AHA is glycolic acid and
  the most popular BHA is salicylic acid, it just
  means different molecular structures that work at
  different levels within the skin.
• Peels are deep skin renewal, so its like you
  have an old timber table and you want to sand the
  top off it to remove the paint and condition the
  timber. Peels are ideal if you have a skin that
  has uneven skin tone, thickened/sun damaged skin
  or open pores. You would not use this if you have
  sensitive/thinned skin as it will create
  inflammation which can trigger your melanocytes
  which is what causes darker patches or
  pigmentation on the skin.

• At Germaine de Capuccini, we have professional
  use (in-salon) Enzyme and AHA Peels as well as a
  deeper Peel containing Lactobionic and Ferulic
  Acid. We also have homecare products, the
  Glycocure Retexturising Booster that you can use
  every day under your moistusirser for gentle
  daily exfoliation and Glycocure AHA Mask (used
  once to twice weekly). The mask is applied and
  left on for 5-8 minutes and then you roll it off
  over the skin. It acts like a mini micro
  dermabrasion or a mini peel on the skin so if
  youre having micros or peels you could use these
  products at home to continue that peeling
  process.
• To sum up the difference in exfoliation, we have
  physical (mechanical) which is little beads
  working away, we have enzymes which is gobbling
  away and giving the skin a good vacuum and then
  we have your peeling product which is your AHA or
  BHAs. I hope that helps to clarify the different
  types of exfoliation and if you have any further
  questions dont hesitate to contact our friendly
  Head Office team on 1300 432 100.
