Skin cells are constantly being produced and migrate to the surface of the skin, as we age the skin holds onto the dead skin cells causing the skin to lack vibrancy and clarity.

When exfoliating an oily skin its best to exfoliate only once a week, daily exfoliation for an oily skin can cause more breakouts especially when you use a physical exfoliator (an exfoliator with grains) as granular exfoliators stimulate the skin oils glands. It is important to exfoliate if you have an oily skin or a skin that is prone to breakouts as you do not want dead skin cells blocking the pores and causing the oil to get stuck. When pores are blocked bacteria then causes blackheads, spots and blemishes. Be careful to not over exfoliate if you have an oily, combination skin.
