EXFOLIATOR

Exfoliators remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin and reveal the fresh skin beneath. There are two types of exfoliators: physical and chemical. Physical exfoliators incorporate granular substances like sugar to manually remove dead skin cells, while chemical exfoliators contain acids or enzymes that help to dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells to the surface of your skin.

Exfoliation refers to the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin to reveal the fresh skin beneath. Physical exfoliation refers to the process of removing these dead cells using abrasive particles such as sugar or coffee grains, while chemical exfoliation refers to the process of removing dead cells using acids or enzymes that dissolve the bonds holding the cells to the surface of the skin.

You should exfoliate your face after cleansing or double-cleansing, but before toner. If using a physical exfoliator, dispense a moderate amount of product into the palms of your hands. Gently massage into damp skin using circular motions for up to 2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. If using a chemical exfoliator, ensure the skin on your face is dry. Dispense a small amount of product into your hands, then gently apply it to your face according to the specific usage instructions. Make sure to avoid the delicate skin around your eyes and mouth. Continue with the rest of your skincare routine. 

Exfoliators come in various different forms, so make sure to check the specific usage instructions for yours before using it.

We recommend you exfoliate before shaving to smooth the skin surface and ensure a closer shave.

We recommend you exfoliate 2-3 times a week. If you have dry or sensitive skin, you may find that exfoliating once a week is enough. As always, make sure to monitor your skin’s reactions and adjust your skincare routine accordingly if you experience any irritation or discomfort.
