| It's common knowledge that we need to exfoliate our skin, that's basic. But the question is, how do we exfoliate and which product/s should we use? To best decide on a unique route for your exfoliation routine, let's first get to know the two types of exfoliants to help you narrow things down.
MYTH: Chemical exfoliation is harsh on the skin. TRUTH: According to Dr. Lim Ing Kien, chemical exfoliation is safer, doesn't cause microtears, and exfoliates more evenly compared to mechanical skin exfoliants done at home (not by a professional).
TIPS for proper mechanical exfoliation at home: 1. Frequency Not all exfoliants should be used daily or even weekly. Often exfoliating brushes need only be used monthly, to avoid micro tears that can reduce our skin's effectiveness to protect our body from external aggressors. 2. Pressure Evenly apply pressure/application throughout the skin. When using mechanical exfoliants, we might tend to scrub harder on select parts of our skin that we feel need more exfoliation than others. But to be safe, it's best to exfoliate gently and evenly throughout the skin. The best way to go is to visit your dermatology/spa clinic to leave it to professionals to mechanically exfoliate your skin properly using the right tools. But if you feel like winging it at home, just make sure to exfoliate at a moderate pace and scrub your skin gently and evenly. |
