Skin Care Review: ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads

If there is one thing that I’m obsessed with, (besides my pores) it’s exfoliation. Now, the thing to keep in mind is that exfoliation takes on different monikers in the skin care world. When our skin naturally exfoliates, it’s called desquamation. The problem is that as we age, the natural process of our skin shedding cells — desquamation– slows down. So, to keep our skin looking it’s best, we need to accelerate the process of desquamation by exfoliation.

Confused yet? No worries. Just remember that if you are a day over 29, you need to be exfoliating  your skin on the regular.  One of my favorite skin care products for exfoliation are resurfacing pads. They are so convenient! Rather than using your fingers to apply your favorite liquid exfoliant, these pads are pre-moistened with the exfoliant and resurfacing your skin is a breeze. I’m currently obsessed with  ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads.

As a matter of fact, one of the reasons why my skin looks so much younger than its chronological age — 63 — is because I’m an avid user of exfoliants!

About ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads $65:

Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads are powered by ELEMIS’ patented Tri-Enzyme Technology combined with a mild Lactic Acid and Probiotic Ferment Complex, to gently yet effectively smooth the skin, revealing a visibly luminous complexion.

Why Use ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads ?

As we age, our surface cell renewal process begins to slow down, leaving skin to appear dull and lacking in luminosity. Convenient and easy to use, ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads deliver a measured dose of exfoliant that gently nibbles away at dead skin cells without irritation or damage to the skin’s protective barrier. The textured pad physically helps to lift dead cells when wiped across the skin’s surface.

My results from ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads:

I use my ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads day and night, they are just that gentle, yet effective. And, of course I’m obsessive, so I have to use them on every possible occasion.) What I love about these resurfacing pads:

1. ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads  easy to use. I happen to do my night time skin care routine bedside, so these pads so cleverly packaged in a jar are handy. Before resurfacing pads came to market, I used to put cotton rounds in a ziplock bag and pour in my exfoliant.
2. ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads are mild. I have had many conversations with clients about high dose exfoliants, their believing that more is more when it comes to exfoliation. With the exception of having a professional peel, high percentage exfoliants are not necessarily better. The combination of ingredients and ph truly determine the efficacy of a product. Whew. So, even though ELEMIS Resurfacing Pads are mild, they are extremely effective.
3. ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads provide chemical and physical exfoliation. This is wonderful because when you use these resurfacing pads, you receive the benefits of the textured pad, which serves as a physical exfoliant. Then of course is the fluid in the pad itself provides the chemical exfoliation. LOVE!!!
4. ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads leave skin glowing. Even after your first use, you will find you skin has a new glow, that just keeps getting brighter as you continue to use the pads. And that’s because these pads are removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin!

Overall, incorporating ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads into your skin care regimen is an excellent way to improve your skin’s texture and luminosity.
