Physical vs Chemical Exfoliants
🔸 Physical Exfoliants
- • Contain small particles (grains, beads, brushes).
- • Manually scrub or buff away dead skin cells.
- • Work on the skin's outermost surface.
- • Provide an immediate smoothing feel.
- • Can be harsh or cause micro-tears if overused.
🔹 Chemical Exfoliants
- • Use acids (AHAs, BHAs, PHAs).
- • Dissolve the 'glue' holding dead skin cells together.
- • Penetrate deeper to clear pores.
- • Improve skin texture and tone over time.
- • Can increase sun sensitivity; requires SPF.
