The Power of Exfoliation: How to Incorporate this Key Step into Your Skincare Routine

Cell renewal is a natural process that forms new skin cells, pushing dead cells to the surface. If these cells aren’t removed, they can build up and create dull, rough skin. Some other common causes of dull skin include:

• Age
• Lifestyle
• Environmental toxins
• Dead skin buildup

While dull skin can be concerning, you can regain your healthy glow and look younger by incorporating exfoliation into your skincare routine.

Think about an onion: that top layer of skin is dry and dull, but once you peel back the first layer, it’s shiny and glistening. Now, think about your skin as an onion; sometimes, you need to exfoliate away that dead top layer of skin. Doing so reveals brighter-looking skin while opening up your pores and letting them decongest.

Exfoliation improves cellular turnover, skin circulation, and product absorption. There are three main methods for exfoliation:

• Mechanical, which uses a machine or device to resurface the skin, such as microdermabrasion and light lasers
• Chemical, which uses enzymes and acid-based products to dissolve the protein bonds between dead skin cells
• Physical, which uses a coarse scrub to physically buff the skin’s surface and remove dead cells

KaramMD POLISH is our enzymatic resurfacing treatment that contains highly effective actives and skin-supporting botanicals doses for continual results. Paired with the TRIFECTA or your daily skincare routine, you can renew and revitalize your skin for long-term hydration with this at-home treatment.

POLISH uses ultra-fine powders designed to gently buff away the top layer of dead, dull skin cells to achieve a fresh-faced, radiant appearance instantly. While POLISH is being applied, it is disgesting the dead skin cells and dull layers of the skin, resulting in a bright, smooth effect.

A smooth, radiant complexion is achieved with the following ingredients:

• Papain
• Oryza sativa (rice)
• Camellia sinensis (matcha)
• Bambusa vulgaris (bamboo) stem
• Coco Nucifera (coconut) milk

Regular use of POLISH or any good exfoliator helps to promote long-term hydration and a smooth, glowing complexion. POLISH is a favorite for many people because it achieves immediate, radiant results; I recommend using it to exfoliate regularly, about 2-3 times a week.

The TRIFECTA is the only three-step system with clinically-proven visible results. This regimen covers the entire spectrum of anti-aging skincare for people of every age and skin type.

Rinse, Quench, and Illuminate work together with precision doses of over 20 actives, including:

• Vitamin C
• Retinol
• Niacinamide
• Sodium Hyaluronate

These provide deep cleansing and active hydration while supporting natural collagen stimulation. When POLISH is added to the TRIFECTA, you’ll achieve the ultimate rejuvenated, healthy, glowing skin.

The four KaramMD products are each packed with the most effective and essential ingredients your skin needs. I selected elements that:

• Boost collagen production
• Improve skin elasticity
• Remove dead, dull skin cells
• Hydrate and plump the skin
• Smooth wrinkles
• Firm the skin
• Provide a fresh, youthful, renewed appearance

Dr. Amir Karam is a renowned facial cosmetic surgeon. With over two decades of experience achieving youthful results for his patients, he is known as an authority in his field. Despite his success as a surgeon, Dr. Karam wanted to achieve more than the surgical results of sculpting a youthfully-defined facial shape. He realized that the skin quality needed to be considered to achieve the youthful, refreshed look that his patients wanted.

Dr. Karam sought the best way to help his patients achieve vibrant, luminous skin. He discovered that the number of products available was overwhelming for patients: skincare routines and products needed to be simplified and more effective. Products needed vital ingredients for rejuvenation, and they were spread out among many products, making it challenging to achieve skin revitalization.

Dr. Karam spent the next five years creating the TRIFECTA & POLISH, a clinically proven, groundbreaking skincare line perfect for all skin types. Your skin is nourished with all the vital ingredients required to achieve stunning results and beautiful, healthy skin.
