Why facial scrubs can change your skin

Whether it's a facial scrub face scrub exfoliating lotion applied with a cotton pad or anexfoliating maskIn the end, all exfoliations work in the same way. Based on fruit acids, salicylic acid or enzymes, facial scrubs contain active ingredients capable of remove dead cells from the surface of the epidermis. Depending on its strength, it can penetrate more or less deeply into the skin's layers.

Once the first layer of dead cells has been removed, facial exfoliant attacks the pores, thoroughly unclogging them. By unclogging pores, facial scrubs not only treat imperfections, but also prevent their appearance by eliminating excess sebum. This action also treats blackheads and micro-cysts, those subcutaneous pimples that are often difficult to eliminate...

Finally, facial exfoliation not onlyreduces the appearance of pigmentationspots, but also boosts cell renewal. That's right, when we exfoliate our skin, we send it the message to generate new skin cells. Not only does this help prevent skin ageing, it can also attenuate the vestiges of old imperfections that may have left their mark. As you can see, exfoliation has only good things to offer all skin types.

How to choose your face scrub?

Because the choice for your face scrub can quickly become a headache, given the quantity available (and sometimes because you're afraid of using one that's too strong for your skin), here are a few tips to help you...

Let's start by dispelling a common misconception: yes, dry and sensitive skins can be exfoliated, provided they use the right facial scrub. For example, they can turn to a grain-free, enzyme-based Exfoliating Powder, the gentlest method of exfoliation.

Normal skin (without sensitivities) can opt for a gentle peel, for example with fruit acid-based exfoliating discs.

Combination to oily skins prone to imperfections, but not sensitive, can indulge in a more powerful facial scrub, combining salicylic acid with activated charcoal, for example. Finally, if you have mature skin, the exfoliant of choice may be hidden in a retinol-based anti-aging "peeling" serum. This is one of the most effective serums for boosting radiance and treating signs of aging such as wrinkles and loss of firmness, as well as skin marked by pigmentation spots.
