Which face scrub is right for you

Which exfoliator to start with?

If using a facial scrub exfoliator is one of our 3 essential steps, it's because it allows us to treat many beauty problems by eliminating dead cells and boosting cell renewal. No matter what our skin type! And just like when you start a new sport, your skin needs to get used to this new routine. So we start with "soft" formulas that can be rinsed off immediately (or very quickly).

I have very sensitive skin and I'm a bit afraid to take the plunge...

The right treatment for you? La Exfoliating Powder Oh My Cream Skincare
What is it? An exfoliating powder with Papaïne (a super-gentle enzyme), which transforms into a generous lather on contact with water. It sweeps away dead skin cells, leaving your complexion clearer and your skin feeling velvety soft to the touch.
Frequency of use : 2 to 3 times a week.

I get pimples and blackheads too often:

The right treatment for you? The Daily Microfoliant Exfoliating Powder Dermalogica
What is it? It's a powder, too, but a little stronger than ours. The salicylic acid which it contains in higher concentration, is a choice ingredient for purifying the skin. Blackheads, blackheads, microcysts... no clogged pore can resist it.
Frequency of use: Americans (fans of exfoliation) will tell you every day... We prefer to recommend 2 times a week, at least to start with ;-)

My complexion is uneven and I'm marked by wrinkles:

The right treatment for you? Visit Glycolactic New Skin Radiance Mask Ren Clean Skincare
What is it? The brand's cult exfoliating mask withAglycolic acid, a tiny little fruit acid, perfect for going the extra mile to boost collagen and elastin synthesis AND reduce dark spots. A real youthful boost!
Frequency of use : 1 to 2 times a week maximum. Not recommended for sensitive skin.

What if I want to exfoliate exfoliation?

Has your usual exfoliator run out of steam? The ones you've already used haven't really revolutionized your beauty routine? Then your skin needs to move on to the next level. The best thing to do: Track down skin care products that contain several exfoliating active ingredients in the same product, and switch to a higher concentration.

I have pimples and marks that resist:

The treatment you need? Prism Exfoliating Glow Facial Mask AHA & BHA Herbivore
What is it? An exfoliating mask with a refreshing gel texture, rich in fruit acids, for a radiant, more even complexion, reducing traces of imperfections and pigmentation spots, refining skin texture and leaving skin glowing in just 10 minutes!
Frequency of use: 1-2 times a week, for 10-15 minutes, preferably in the evening.

My skin is sensitive and super dehydrated:

The right treatment for you? The Liquid Mask Masque Liquide Oskia
What is it? A peel to be applied in the evening before going to bed. THEAlactic acid combined with niacinamide is the ideal combo for super-sensitive skin: it exfoliates while moisturizing and soothing. When you wake up, your complexion is even, your skin soft to the touch and visibly plumped.
Frequency of use : 2-3 times a week. But if you don't think about it, 1 time a week already gives very good results.

I have wrinkled skin and brown spots

The treatment you need? Renaissance Mask Resurfacing Mask Oskia
What is it? A mask worthy of professional skincare, featuring a cocktail of fruit acids from lemon, grape, pineapple and passion fruit to clarify dull complexions, unclog pores and tighten skin texture. This new-skin exfoliating mask has had no trouble establishing a cult following, awakening tired complexions, purifying pores and moisturizing for radiant skin.
Frequency of use : 1-2 times a week for 10-20 minutes.

To remember for successful exfoliation...

Are you a regular exfoliator? For AHAs (glycolic, lactic, mandelic acids...), a concentration of 5% acid or more will give you an even more "wow" effect.
Always give your exfoliating skin care products time to work (unless, of course, the instructions state to rinse off quickly to stop the exfoliating effect).
And for those who don't rinse offAnd for those who don't rinse off, wait several minutes before applying another skincare product... or even nothing if you don't feel the need and it's applied in the evening.
The neck and décolleté age just as much as the rest of the face. The ideal solution is to extend the movement to these too-often forgotten areas.
If your skin is sensitive, avoid grainy exfoliants. Alternatively, make sure they are in super-nourishing formulas (for example, accompanied by vegetable oils to compensate).

And finally, in the evening, it's always best: you avoid exposure to light, which can sensitize your skin, and you boost the effectiveness of your exfoliant to the maximum, since it's at night that your epidermis is most receptive.
