Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin using a chemical, granular substance, or exfoliation tool. Here are some details about exfoliation in Tagalog:
-
Exfoliate in Tagalog: The word "exfoliate" in Tagalog is "magtanggal ng patay na balat" or "magtanggal ng mga patay na balat ng katawan".
-
Positive effects of exfoliation: Regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells, keep pores clean, and improve blood circulation, which can give the skin a healthy, more youthful glow. Sugar scrubs, for example, are mild and help remove dead skin, rejuvenate the skin by cleaning all the dirt from the skin pores, and have a natural anti-aging effect on the skin.
-
Negative effects of exfoliation: If performed incorrectly, physical exfoliation can sometimes irritate the skin and may result in transepidermal water loss. Over-exfoliation can lead to dryness, redness, and even more breakouts.
-
Ingredients or materials: There are different types of exfoliants, including mechanical exfoliants (such as cleansing scrubs, exfoliating mitts, dry brushes, loofahs, pumice stones, and microneedling or micro derma rollers), acids (AHA/BHA), the retinoid family, and preservatives. For manual exfoliation, you can use abrasive materials such as sugar, salt, coffee grounds, or oatmeal. Chemical exfoliants with AHA or BHA are also preferred.
In summary, exfoliation is an important part of skincare that can help remove dead skin cells and improve the appearance of the skin. However, it is important to use the right ingredients or materials and to avoid over-exfoliation to prevent skin irritation and damage.
