Everybody needs to exfoliate, no matter your age or skin condition. Getting better skin fast is quite easy. Just make sure to add a product that exfoliates into your daily routine, and you’ll get glowing skin in no time. Exfoliation helps skin look better right away by removing dead cells from the skin’s surface. As we age our cell turnover rate decreases, taking longer for new cells to reach the outer layer of skin and leaving your complexion dull and lifeless. Additionally, those dead cells cause congestion resulting in black heads, bumpy or acne prone skin.

To rid your skin of the offending dead cells, choose one of Image Skincare’s products with exfoliating ingredients such as:

Ageless Total Facial Cleanser - This 3 in 1 cleanser (cleanser, exfoliator, toner) contains Glycolic Acid, a highly effective Alpha Hydroxy Acid exfoliant.

Ageless Total Anti-Aging Serum - Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids help speed cell turnover rates leaving skin smooth and renewed.

Ormedic Balancing Facial Cleanser - An organic 3 in 1 cleanser that utilizes Decyl Glucoside, a natural exfoliant and sugar surfactant that exfoliates, moisturizes, and protects skin.

The Clear Cell Line - All products in this line contain a variety of effective exfoliating ingredients, which are paramount to aiding in reducing skin lesions. AHA and BHA acids, Salicylic Acid, and Micro-Exfoliant beads help loosen congestion while protecting and balancing skin.

No matter your skin type, make exfoliation part of your daily skincare routine. You’ll see brighter, healthier skin instantly.
