8 Things That Happen To Your Skin If You Don't Exfoliate Timely

We keep shredding and regenerating new skin cells, and with age this process gets slower. That is the reason babies have so smooth and glowing skin, as compared to adults and thus we need to exfoliate regularly to keep our skin looking fresh and new as possible. Lack of exfoliation leads to build up of dead skin cells, and could result into dry, dull, patchy, flaky skin, clogged pores, with uneven skin tone. CTM schedule is famous among us all and we tend to follow it regularly. But how many of us forget that in order to get fresh, radiant skin we must exfoliate regularly! And sometimes we keep wishing for a better skin and never look after the fact that when was the last time we exfoliated. So, here I will tell you What 8 Things Could Happen If You Don’t Exfoliate Regularly. And by regular I mean on a regular basis, not on daily basis as this can make your skin sensitive, red and can result into rashes and make your skin more prone to breakouts.

# More Blackheads

Exfoliation helps to keep skin clean and unclogged, lack of which are the main reasons of blackheads and whiteheads. Moreover, if you don’t exfoliate regularly your whiteheads can turn into blackheads which are more visible and so hard to get rid of. So, to keep these blackheads at bay exfoliate regularly!

# Undergrowth Problem

If you don’t exfoliate regularly undergrowth is something you will have to live with. Exfoliation will help to remove any dead skin cells, dirt, and oils that might be trapping the ingrown hair. It may also physically nudge the tip of the hair out of your skin.

# Patchy Skin and Dull Skin

Damage from sun, hormonal changes, and ageing slows down the process to generate new skin cells, and this may lead to undesired dull & patchy skin. So, to get rid of these damaged, unwanted layers of skin exfoliate regularly.

# No Use of Buying Good Products

Yes, how many costly products you may use, if you don’t exfoliate regularly you will always get no result. As dead skin layers up, and applying moisturizers, serums and other products on top of that would result into no better skin. So, to make your other products work, exfoliate regularly as it allows deeper penetration and better absorption of products you may put on later.

# More Prone to Wrinkles and Old Skin

Yes, it is another reason which leads to early ageing. We keep shredding dead skin cells, and without removal of dead skin the new regenerated skin keeps hidden beneath and dead skin cells robs you of your youthful glow. Exfoliation leads to younger and fresh looking skin.

# Makeup will Look Made-up

Yes, if you don’t exfoliate regularly, skin tends to get dry and as a result makeup never looks natural. You wont be able to achieve that dewy look ever. Skin looks drier and makeup looks fake. And we never want that. So, exfoliate & moisturize regularly to see the power of makeup.

# More Frequent Breakouts

Yes, if you don’t exfoliate your skin regularly, oils get trapped beneath your skin and comes out in form of breakouts, which is worse. So please Exfoliate!


# More Skin Rashes and Infections

CTM alone is not enough to get rid of germs which settle into your pores, dirt hidden beneath our skin. To get rid of all this exfoliation is necessary especially in hot and humid climate. Not exfoliating can give germs and bacteria place to breed and grow and result into rashes and infections.
