How to make a facial scrub?

To eliminate dead skin cells, we systematically recommend chemical or enzymatic exfoliation. These two types of exfoliation boost cell renewal, improve the penetration of the active ingredients applied afterwards, and make the skin softer and more radiant. However, exfoliation should not be synonymous with irritation. This is why we systematically recommend chemical or enzymatic exfoliation.

How does it differ from so-called "mechanical" exfoliation? It is a way to exfoliate the skin without using grains. If the exfoliation is called "enzymatic", it is because the job is ensured by enzymes, 100% natural agents, which come to nibble the bonds which maintain the cells between them. This system is the most gentle and has the advantage of being suitable for all skin types. It is even the exfoliation to be preferred in case of 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 your skin's sensitivity, or even daily for certain very specific exfoliants like 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.
