Exfoliation 101: Your Guide to The 3 Main Types of Exfoliators {{ currentPage ? currentPage.title : "" }}

Just like opening the curtains, dusting off surfaces, and wiping down windows can help your home feel brighter and full of life, exfoliating your skin can reveal a more radiant, luminous complexion. Our skin continuously creates fresh, new cells; exfoliating regularly can help whisk away dull surface cells and bring these vibrant new cells to light!

While using the right dust cloths and cleaning solutions is important to keep your home fresh and bright, using the right exfoliator for your skin type is the key to revealing a radiant complexion. Here are the three main types of exfoliation and who should use them.

Physical

When you think of exfoliating, do you picture scrubbing away dull skin cells with a chunky sea salt scrub? This process, known as physical exfoliation, is achieved by using products that contain small beads or granules to loosen and remove buildup.

A nourishing cream-to-foam facial cleanser infused with bamboo spheres and gentle beads can help sweep away dullness, promoting a softer, more even skin tone.

Physical exfoliation is often a great option for oily or combination skin, whisking away dead skin cells can help prevent blemishes caused by trapped oil.

Enzymatic 

Just like the right gentle cleaning products can help you dissolve stains and imperfections in your household, an enzymatic exfoliator can break down build-up on the skin’s surface. Innovative fruit enzymes digest the dull, lifeless cells, making them easy to rinse away.

For a polished, luminous complexion, treat your skin to the occasional brightening masque infused with vitamin C and fruit enzymes. A nourishing formula will help break down dull surface cells to reveal a brighter, more even skin tone.

While enzymatic exfoliation is a great option for nearly any skin type, those with dry or sensitive skin might prefer this method over physical exfoliation, as it can be gentler on the skin’s barrier.

Chemical 

This unique form of exfoliation releases dead skin cells by breaking down the bonds that hold them together. Chemical exfoliants may decongest clogged pores and reveal a fresh complexion by helping your skin shed dull, old surface cells.

A glycolic acid cleanser infused with an invigorating hint of menthol can help your skin jumpstart the exfoliation process, keeping your complexion bright and clear.

While chemical exfoliants can be effective for nearly any skin type, the active or key ingredients in a given product ultimately determine if it is best for oily, dry, or combination skin. Using products as directed and paying attention to the ingredients are the best rules of thumb for any exfoliating product, especially chemical exfoliants.

As the largest organ in your body, your skin does a lot of work to regenerate new cells and promote healthy cell turnover. With the right exfoliation products, you can help whisk away dullness and achieve a balanced, more even skin tone.
