Scrubs and exfoliators are skincare products designed to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote a smoother, more radiant complexion. They work by physically or chemically sloughing off dull, dry skin, revealing a fresh layer underneath.
- Physical Scrubs contain fine granules, sugar, salt, or microbeads that manually exfoliate the skin.
- Chemical Exfoliators use ingredients like AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) and BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids) to dissolve dead skin cells without scrubbing.
Regular exfoliation helps improve skin texture, brighten the complexion, and enhance the effectiveness of other skincare products. However, it’s essential to choose the right type based on skin type and sensitivity to prevent irritation.
