To keep your skin looking its best, you need to exfoliate. But which type of exfoliant should you use? Chemical exfoliants or physical exfoliants? It’s important to understand the difference between the two before you make a decision. Let’s explore the pros and cons of each type of exfoliant so that you can make an informed choice.
Physical Exfoliants
Physical exfoliants are what most people think about when it comes to exfoliating their skin. These products contain tiny granules or beads that help scrub away dead skin cells from your face. The result is smoother, softer skin that looks brighter and healthier. Physical exfoliants can be used on all skin types and are often gentler than chemical exfoliants. Try the Detoxifying Mask + Scrub. The scrub has activated charcoal and will remove impurities and oils that clog your pores and the pumice beads will help slough off the dead skin without irritating your skin.
Chemical Exfoliants
Chemical exfoliants work by using acids to dissolve away dead skin cells, rather than using physical particles like physical exfoliants do. There are several different types of chemical exfoliators available, including glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, etc., each one with a different purpose and level of strength. Chemical exfoliators may be too harsh for those with sensitive or reactive skin types. Depending on the type of product used, chemical exfoliation may also cause temporary redness or irritation in some cases.
Knowing the differences between chemical and physical exfoliators can help you choose the right product for your needs and get maximum results from your skincare routine. If you have sensitive skin or are new to using any kind of scrubs or peels, start with Avi’s Detoxifying Mask + Scrub and with proper care and regular use of the product, you will soon have beautiful soft and glowing skin!
