Facial exfoliation is one way to remove dead skin cells. In addition, exfoliation is also useful to brighten the skin, disguise fine wrinkles, and prevent clogged pores.

You don't have to go to a beauty clinic, you can just exfoliate your face at home. To be safer and not trigger irritation, you need to pay attention to the following:

The first thing you need to know is to choose an exfoliation method that suits your skin type. You can exfoliate your face mechanically or use chemicals. Mechanically exfoliate your face for dry, sensitive, or easily pimpled skin, you can use a clean washcloth or cloth. As for oily skin, you can use a tool in the form of a soft face brush, including those that use a rotating machine. Scrubbing is also a mechanical exfoliation method that can be done, especially for oily skin. Normal skin types and combinations can also use scrubs. However, this method of exfoliation is not recommended for sensitive and dry skin.

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) are a chemical ingredient that can be used for dry and combination skin. Oily and prone to acne can use skin care containing retinoids, salicylic acid, or glycolic acid. As for you with sensitive facial skin, you can use beta hydroxy acids (BHA).

If you use exfoliation of the face with scrubs or chemicals, take it enough and don't overdo it. Then do the exfoliation with a gentle circular motion. When using a brush or washcloth, do it with a gentle swipe, forming short lines evenly. Do it for 30 seconds, then wash with warm water to clean.

For normal to dry skin types, facial exfoliation can be done one to two times a week. As for combination and oily skin, exfoliation can be done 3-4 times a week.
