It's common knowledge that we need to exfoliate our skin, that's basic. But the question is, how do we exfoliate and which product/s should we use?

To best decide on a unique route for your exfoliation routine, let's first get to know the two types of exfoliants to help you narrow things down.


Chemical Exfoliation - is removing dead skin cells without physically scrubbing it away. Ingredients such as various enzymes and acids (AHA and BHA) are normally used to exfoliate skin this way. For instance, AHAs or alpha hydroxy acids in skincare are commonly derived from natural sources such as lactic acid from milk, citric acid from citrus fruits, and the like.


MYTH: Chemical exfoliation is harsh on the skin. TRUTH: According to Dr. Lim Ing Kien, chemical exfoliation is safer, doesn't cause microtears, and exfoliates more evenly compared to mechanical skin exfoliants done at home (not by a professional).


Mechanical Exfoliation - is done by using scrubs and physical tools to manually/mechanically remove dead skin cells. Examples of mechanical exfoliants are loofahs, brushes, coffee/sugar/salt scrubs, and other abrasive skin care products.


TIPS for proper mechanical exfoliation at home:

1. Frequency Not all exfoliants should be used daily or even weekly. Often exfoliating brushes need only be used monthly, to avoid micro tears that can reduce our skin's effectiveness to protect our body from external aggressors.

2. Pressure Evenly apply pressure/application throughout the skin. When using mechanical exfoliants, we might tend to scrub harder on select parts of our skin that we feel need more exfoliation than others. But to be safe, it's best to exfoliate gently and evenly throughout the skin.

The best way to go is to visit your dermatology/spa clinic to leave it to professionals to mechanically exfoliate your skin properly using the right tools. But if you feel like winging it at home, just make sure to exfoliate at a moderate pace and scrub your skin gently and evenly.
