As they say, thereโs a 100 ways to โskinโ a cat, the same thing goes when it comes to exfoliating your skin. There are 3 types of exfoliation: Physical, Mechanical and Chemical! What type of exfoliator are you? ๐ค
I like to exfoliate at night to help get off all the layers of sunscreen, sweat and debris and to prep my skin to receive my nighttime elixirs! Sometimes I do all 3 at the same time!! ๐๐พโโ๏ธ๐ง๐พโโ๏ธ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ (I use an exfoliating cleanser that contains an AHA + a mechanical exfoliation tool).

๐ Exfoliating at least 2-3 times a week can be so beneficial when it comes to maintaining a healthy glow as it helps prevent clogged pores, resulting in fewer breakouts.
๐ Long-term exfoliating can increase collagen production.
๐ Collagen is key to glowing, vibrant skin. The protein also promotes skin elasticity, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and related sagging.
๐ Lastly, giving your skin a fresh canvas, allows your products to penetrate and help increase effectiveness of your targeted treatments.
