Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the practice of removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells to improve texture, tone, and active ingredient absorption. It can be achieved chemically (with AHAs/BHAs) or physically (with tools or scrubs). In AgeBiome™ rituals, exfoliation is used in the Reset phase to clear biological buildup while preserving the skin’s microbiome and barrier integrity.

Why It’s Used:

• Clears surface debris and buildup from the stratum corneum
• Prepares the skin for deeper penetration of serums
• Stimulates cellular turnover for smoother, brighter skin
• Helps reduce clogged pores and texture irregularities
• Used strategically to support DEJ and follicular renewal
• Must be balanced with nourishment to protect the biome
