What Are Face Exfoliating Products
Face exfoliating products remove dead skin cells from the surface. They can be physical, with granules or tools, or chemical, using acids or enzymes. Regular use helps improve texture and support cell turnover.
Types of Exfoliators
Physical exfoliators include scrubs, brushes, and cloths. Chemical exfoliators use ingredients like glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid. Sensitive skin often benefits from gentle chemical options, while oily or thick skin may tolerate stronger acids.
How to Choose the Right Product
Consider your skin type, sensitivity, and current routine. Patch test new products and introduce them gradually. For guidance on ingredient safety and usage, see the American Academy of Dermatology guide on exfoliation.
