Glossary Desquamation

process of shedding dead skin cells from the outer layer

Desquamation is the process by which the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, sheds dead cells. This natural exfoliation helps maintain skin health by removing old cells and making way for new ones, and it can be influenced by various factors such as skin conditions, treatments, and overall health.
