This gentle exfoliating gel - Paraben-free. Physical exfoliant products gently slough away dead skin cells and unclog pores over time. Although scrubs are deemed to be safer than liquid exfoliants, rubbing too hard can break the skin and over-exfoliation can cause extreme dryness. For minimal side effects, suggest a gentle exfoliating product weekly with jojoba microbeads or lightly textured natural substances, like almonds, salts, and sugars. Incorporating exfoliating products into one’s skin care regimen will brighten the skin’s complexion and keep it healthy. In addition to using exfoliants at home, recommend monthly facials that use more advanced chemical exfoliants to maintain flawless skin. Scrubs are a great option for all skin types, but it is not always the best option. Unlike scrubs, the benefits of chemical exfoliants are immediately noticeable. Although exfoliants serve the same purpose, the process with chemical exfoliants vary because of the active compounds. Alpha hydroxy acids have a dermal effect that reaches deeper levels of the stratum corneum to influence collagen production and allow the skin to become firmer, reducing signs of aging. Alpha hydroxy acids are humectants, holding moisture in the skin for a smoother, softer, and even complexion.
