Why Exfoliate

Exfoliating removes dead cell buildup that causes roughness, dullness and clogged pores, revealing smoother, brighter skin and helping the rest of your routine absorb better.

Types of Exfoliator

Chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA) dissolve dead cells gently, while peeling gels and scrubs physically buff. Chemical is usually gentler and more even.

Start 2–3 times a week at night, follow with a moisturizer, avoid over-exfoliating, and always use SPF — exfoliants increase sun sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I exfoliate?

Start 2–3 times a week and adjust based on your skin. Gentle acids like PHA can be used more often, while stronger AHA/BHA should be introduced gradually.

Is chemical or physical exfoliation better?

Chemical exfoliation (acids) is usually gentler and more even than physical scrubs, which can cause micro-tears if too harsh. For most skin types, chemical exfoliants are recommended.

Can I over-exfoliate?

Yes. Over-exfoliating can damage the barrier, causing redness, sensitivity and breakouts. Stick to a few times a week and keep skin hydrated and protected.

What is a peeling gel?

A peeling gel is a gentle exfoliator that lifts away dead skin cells as you massage it in. It's a milder option for those who prefer a physical exfoliation feel.

Do I need sunscreen when exfoliating?

Yes. Exfoliating increases sun sensitivity, so daily sunscreen is essential to protect freshly exfoliated skin and maintain smooth, even results.
