Frequently Asked Questions
An exfoliant removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, unclogs pores, and promotes cell turnover for a brighter, smoother complexion. Using a face exfoliator can also help to enhance the absorption of skincare products and improve overall skin texture.
The best type of exfoliator depends on your skin type and needs. Physical exfoliators contain small granules to manually remove dead skin, while chemical exfoliators use ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to dissolve dead skin cells. Choosing the right face exfoliator can help you achieve the best results for your skin.
Exfoliating 2-3 times a week is generally recommended for most skin types. However, using a face exfoliator more or less frequently may be necessary depending on your skin's sensitivity and specific needs.
To exfoliate your skin at home, choose a gentle face exfoliator that suits your skin type, apply it to damp skin, and gently massage in circular motions before rinsing off. Following up with a moisturizer will help to hydrate and protect the newly revealed skin.
