My preferred methods of exfoliation are light peels and microdermabrasion. At-home exfoliation should be performed one to two times weekly, while a medical exfoliation should be performed monthly.

Exfoliation is a natural process that is normally performed by enzymes naturally found in the skin. Unfortunately, as we age our skin loses the hydration needed to activate these exfoliating enzymes. That explains why a five-year-old child doesn’t require exfoliators and moisturizers, but someone in their 30's does.
