Exfoliate Your Way to Flawless Skin

Imagine waking up to smooth, glowing skin every day—skin that feels soft to the touch and looks naturally radiant without the need for heavy makeup or filters.

The secret to achieving this dream complexion lies in one often overlooked step: exfoliation. Just like how clearing away clutter from a room reveals its true beauty, exfoliating removes the buildup of dead skin cells and impurities that dull your glow. But to unlock the full potential of exfoliation, it’s essential to do it right. Here are five tips to help you reveal your smoothest, most radiant skin yet!

1. Choose the Right Exfoliant for Your Skin Type

It’s vital to select the right exfoliant for your specific skin type. There are two types of exfoliants: physical and chemical.

• Physical exfoliants are scrubs with granules that manually buff away dead skin. They work well for oily skin but can be too abrasive for sensitive skin.

• Chemical exfoliants use AHAs (like glycolic acid) or BHAs (like salicylic acid) to gently dissolve dead skin. AHAs suit dry or sensitive skin, while BHAs work best for oily or acne-prone skin.

Tip: For beginners or those with sensitive skin, start with a mild chemical exfoliant, like lactic acid.

2. Exfoliate No More Than 2-3 Times Per a Week
