Yes, exfoliating is still beneficial for your skin after 50, but it’s important to choose the right type of exfoliant. As we age, our skin naturally sloughs off dead cells more slowly, which can lead to dull, uneven skin. Gentle exfoliants, such as those containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), can help remove dead skin without irritating it. Avoid harsh scrubs with large particles, which can damage the skin. Exfoliating once or twice a week is enough for most people over 50. It helps promote cell turnover, allowing new skin to come to the surface and give you a youthful glow.
