Acne & Pores

각질

The shedding of corneocytes that have reached the end of their life from the skin surface, or the state in which they have accumulated.

What the term refers to

Normally they are shed little by little without being noticeable. When the skin is dry or the keratinisation cycle is disturbed, they lift off white or build up thickly, making the skin texture look rough.

Good to know

It is better to adjust the frequency of exfoliation to your skin condition and the season. Doing it excessively can instead bring sensitivity and dryness.
