Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that aims to
stimulate skin cell production, unclog pores, fade scars and spots, and boost collagen production which reduces lines and wrinkles.
Beeswax naturally contains Vitamin A which is known to help
boost skin cell production and can help with many skin conditions including acne, sun damage and aging.
This may turn into an annoying issue when the skin is secreting extreme measures of sebum — a fatty matter secreted from the sebaceous glands in the skin — and
skin cell production increases.
After a quick facial cleanse, a soft brush exfoliation removes dead surface cells and promotes
new skin cell production.
Something you might want to try is reducing your protein intake (since protein is a driving factor
in skin cell production, and skin cells can clog pores).
This promotes more rapid healing (especially compared to wounds exposed to air and left to scab) and creates an optimal environment for new
skin cell production.
