This guide provides all the details you need to know about exfoliation, an important part of your skincare routine, and how to apply it at home.

What is Exfoliation?

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead cells from the surface of the skin. This process is done to renew the skin and make it look brighter and smoother. Exfoliation reduces skin imperfections, helps tighten pores, and evens out skin tone.

What are the Types of Exfoliation?

Exfoliation can be done using various methods to suit different skin types and needs. Here are the most commonly used types of exfoliation:

Physical Exfoliation:
This process, performed with granular exfoliating products or brushes, physically cleanses the surface of the skin.
Suitable skin types: Normal and oily skin.
Chemical Exfoliation:
This process, which uses acid-based ingredients (e.g., AHA and BHA), cleanses the skin more deeply and accelerates skin renewal.
Suitable skin types: Oily and combination skin; can also be applied to dry skin in certain doses.
Enzymatic Peeling:
This peeling, made with natural ingredients such as fruit enzymes, is suitable for sensitive skin types. Suitable skin types: Sensitive and dry skin.
Which Type of Peeling is Suitable for Which Skin Type?
Normal and oily skin: Physical or chemical peeling
