What is exfoliation?
Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. It can be achieved through physical scrubs, chemical face exfoliants like acids or enzymes, or through mechanical means like brushes or scrubs. As opposed to face masks, which revitalise the skin by adding nourishing ingredients, face exfoliants may improve the skin’s appearance by stimulating cell turnover.
What is the best exfoliator?
The best face exfoliator varies based on individual skin type and preferences. Look for one with gentle ingredients like fruit enzymes or mild acids for sensitive skin, or consider a face scrub with fine particles for tougher skin. Always patch-test and choose products without harsh chemicals for optimal results.
How to exfoliate your face
To exfoliate your face, assess your skin type to choose the right method. Mechanical exfoliation involves using products like face scrubs to physically remove dead skin cells, while chemical exfoliation uses acids to dissolve them. Apply your chosen product gently in small, circular motions for about 30 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water. Be cautious with sensitive or acne-prone skin, opting for milder exfoliants. Moisturise afterwards to replenish moisture lost during exfoliation.
How often should you exfoliate?
How often you exfoliate depends on your skin type and exfoliation method. Generally, exfoliating one to three times per week is suitable for most skin types. However, sensitive or acne-prone skin may benefit from less frequent exfoliation, while oily or thicker skin may tolerate more frequent sessions. Always pay attention to your skin’s needs and adjust accordingly. Avoid over-exfoliating, which may lead to irritation.
