Skin exfoliation is essential for smoother skin. The process of eliminating the dead skin cells from the surface of skin is necessary for all skin types. There are different products for different skin types and hence you must identify your skin type first.

Oily skin is known to have a lot of clogged pores. The sebum in these pores would oxidise as soon as it is exposed to the air and forms blemishes as well as blackheads. In most cases, sebum is a kind of soft wax which is released from the pores. It forms a thin, invisible layer of protection on the skin. However, when it comes to oily skin, the amount of sebum produced is huge and it would eventually slough off in the pores. While maintaining oily skin, you must repeat the process of removing the sebum everyday, instead of trapping it inside. Overwashing your skin can turn out to be pretty harmful to oily skin. There are toners, masks, peels, brushes, sponges and washcloths available to exfoliate oily skin.

We have analysed some of the products for oily skin exfoliation, so as to help you make a better choice. Brushes and washcloths would often do a good job with skin exfoliation, but it is impossible to keep them clean at all times. Secondly, the masks can also be of great use, but they need to be used everyday. In addition, the masks would contain other chemicals and silicones, which eliminate the dead cells but also irritate the skin.
