Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast

Most of us have heard of exfoliation, and you may already be incorporating this step into your routine. But did you know that exfoliation plays a pivotal role in keeping your skin radiant and healthy? Think of exfoliation as prepping a canvas before painting. Just like you wouldn't apply fresh paint on a wall without preparing it first, you shouldn't apply skincare products on a layer of dead skin cells. Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, dives into an essential step in your skincare routine: exfoliation. He covers why exfoliation is crucial for maintaining healthy skin, and the difference between chemical and mechanical exfoliation. Plus, he shares the importance of understanding the needs of your skin.What we discuss:[00:02:25] Why skin cell turnover is crucial for maintaining healthy skin [00:03:15] Chemical vs. mechanical exfoliation[00:04:08] The benefits of proper exfoliation[00:08:22] Why understanding the needs of your skin is essentialKey Takeaways:Exfoliation plays an important role in enhancing the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products. By removing the layer of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, exfoliation allows the active ingredients in skincare products to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. This means that your moisturizers, serums, and treatments can better target and address specific skin concerns, resulting in improved overall skincare results.There are two primary types of exfoliation: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical or physical exfoliation entails physically scrubbing the skin using an abrasive substance. In contrast, chemical exfoliation involves using ingredients such as acids or enzymes that dissolve the glue binding the dead skin cells together.Understanding the specific requirements of your skin is vital for effective exfoliation. Oily skin, for instance, often faces issues like excessive dead skin cells and clogged pores. Frequent exfoliation can be beneficial in maintaining a clearer complexion for oily skin types. On the other hand, dry skin may require a gentler approach to exfoliation, as it tends to be more sensitive.Learn More about Young Goose:Use code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/ Instagram: @young_goose_skincare
