Physical Exfoliation
Exfoliators can either be chemical or physical. Physical exfoliators manually remove dead skin cells and impurities by using a brush or small particles such as alpha hydroxy acids. These gentle exfoliators improve overall skin radiance while refining the surface of skin without irritation.
"I recommend Micro-Exfoliating Scrub as a compliment to most acne and anti-aging regimens. Using 2 to 3 times a week gives your skin a boost in exfoliation to decongest pores and rid your face of dull, dry dead skin. You get an instant glow, allow your skin to absorp product more efficiently, and increase the results from procedures.”
