Exfoliation is the process of removing the dead skin cells on the top layer of the skin. The body does this naturally, but as we age, dead skin cells may not be shed as efficiently. Environmental factors and diet may also slow this natural process, leaving the skin looking flat, dull and scaly.
You can encourage your body’s natural skin cell renewal process by manually exfoliating, for example by using a loofah or pumice stone, but that can be unhygienic and aggressive, damaging the skin’s surface. A more gentle way to support the natural process would be to apply a lotion or cream with ingredients designed to exfoliate.
AmLactin® products contain alpha-hydroxy acids that are pH balanced for the skin. These powerhouse ingredients do double duty – they gently exfoliate to reveal healthy skin and draw moisture to the skin so it feels soft and smooth.
