How do I make a facial scrub?

To eliminate dead skin cells, we systematically recommend chemical or enzymatic exfoliation. These 2 types of exfoliation boost cell renewal, improve the penetration of active ingredients applied later, and enhance skin's softness and radiance. However, exfoliation should not be synonymous with irritation.. That's why we systematically recommend chemical or enzymatic exfoliation.

How do they differ from "mechanical" exfoliation? Mechanical exfoliation is a way of exfoliating the skin without using grains. If exfoliation is called "enzymatic", it's because the job is done by enzymes, 100% natural agents that nibble away at the bonds that hold cells together. This system is the gentlest and has the advantage of being suitable for all skin types. In fact, it's the exfoliation of choice for sensitive skin. !

But enzymes don't have the only monopoly on a flawless complexion: there are also fruit acids. These act in the same way as enzymes, but in a more powerful and targeted way. They are ideal for particularly stubborn blemishes and marks. On the other hand, chemical exfoliation is not recommended for reactive skin.

Frequency, these two types of exfoliation can be performed 2 to 3 times a week, depending on the sensitivity of your skin, or even daily for certain very specific exfoliants such as the Daily Microfoliant Dermalogicawhich is very gentle. If you're not used to exfoliating, we recommend starting with once a week. You can then decide whether or not to increase the frequency. If you notice more dehydration or redness, the product is too strong or the frequency too high. For a more powerful mask exfoliant, such as Glycolactic Masque Eclat Peau Neuve Ren Skincare, once or twice a week maximum is more than enough.
