Exfoliation: Should you opt for chemical or physical?

Exfoliation, as we all know, is an imperative (and sometimes satisfying) step in a skincare routine to removing dead skin cells and texture, as well as brightening the skin. But as much as there are numerous benefits to the practice, there are also many ways to go about doing it. One of the first considerations being, using chemical or physical exfoliation. Each method offers unique benefits and considerations, making it important to understand their differences and how they can best suit your skin type and concerns.


Physical Exfoliation 

Physical exfoliation involves the use of abrasive particles or tools to manually scrub away dead skin cells. Common physical exfoliants include facial scrubs, brushes, or even facial cleansing devices. Such a technique should be chosen for those who suffer from a thicker layer of dryness and flaking, but not acne. In such cases, it is often more effective to opt for physical exfoliation rather than higher concentrations of acids to remove dead skin build up. Moreover, massaging your skin with the tools and scrubs can promote blood circulation to the skin, giving it a healthy glow. Opt for a gentler physical exfoliator to avoid redness, irritation and disruption of the skin barrier. We recommend our Bright Skies exfoliator which contains Goji Berries, Pumpkin, and Spinach extracts without the use of physical abrasives. 


Chemical Exfoliation

Chemical exfoliation involves the use of acids or enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Mainly, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) are used as one of the gentlest ways to slough off dead skin cells and unclog pores. It is usually recommended for those with acne-prone and oily skin to chemically exfoliate at night to avoid photosensitivity from the sun, offering a deeper penetration into the skin, preventing hyperpigmentation and fine lines as well. 


Choosing the right exfoliation method for your skin type can elevate your skin health greatly. It’s important to take time to research and consult a dermatologist to find out how to best reap its benefits!
