Exfoliating Cleansers

Exfoliating cleansers are formulations that cleanse the skin while also providing exfoliation. They can contain physical exfoliants like beads or scrubs, or chemical exfoliants like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs).

Removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and improving skin texture, they combine the benefits of a cleanser with exfoliating agents, which can be either physical or chemical.

Types of Exfoliating Cleansers:

1. Physical Exfoliating Cleansers: These contain small particles or granules that manually scrub away dead skin cells.

2. Chemical Exfoliating Cleansers: These use acids or enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells and promote cell turnover.

3. Combination Exfoliating Cleansers: These include both physical and chemical exfoliants for a dual-action effect.

What makes them so irresistible:

• Improve Skin Texture: Regular exfoliation helps to smooth the skin’s surface by removing dead skin cells.

• Unclog pores: Helps prevent and treat acne by keeping pores clear.

• Enhanced absorption: Exfoliated skin can better absorb other skincare products like serums and moisturizers.

• Even Skin Tone: Help reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.

Tips for Using Exfoliating Cleansers:

• Frequency: Use 2-3 times a week to avoid over-exfoliation, which can lead to irritation and increased sensitivity.

• Application: Apply to damp skin and gently massage in circular motions. Avoid the delicate eye area.

• Follow-Up: Always follow with a moisturizer to hydrate and protect the freshly exfoliated skin.
