What is an exfoliant and why do I need one?

Exfoliants

An exfoliant removes dead skin cells from the surface of skin.

Why is this important?
Accumulated dead skin cells can cause skin concerns such as breakouts, clogged pores, dull skin and discolouration. Regular use of an exfoliant clears away these dead skin cells to reveal healthy, radiant skin.

Exfoliants: an essential part of your skincare routine

Every day, your skin cells renew themselves, and dead cells are shed from skin. This natural shedding process can slow down or stop altogether due to sun damage, dry skin, oily skin, genetics or various skin disorders that can cause a build up of dead skin cells or affect how cells move through the pore lining. It could lead to dull, flaky skin, clogged pores, pigmentation spots or breakouts. An exfoliant removes unhealthy, dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. In addition, it may improve the production of collagen and stimulate the skin's ability to retain moisture. Find out everything you need to know about chemical exfoliation.

AHA and BHA products, which one is right for me?

An AHA exfoliant works on the skin’s surface and is water soluble. They’re generally preferred for normal to dry, sun-damaged skin, due to their ability to enhance skin's natural moisturising factors. They’ve also been proven effective in reducing the visible signs of sun damage. A BHA exfoliant, BHA meaning salicylic acid, works below the skin’s surface and inside the pore; it’s oil soluble, so it’s most often preferred for normal to oily skin prone to breakouts and enlarged pores. BHA also has natural skin-calming properties, so it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. Want to know more? Discover the difference between AHA and BHA exfoliants.

What acid concentration should I exfoliate with?

AHA (such as glycolic acid) is most effective at a concentration of 5 to 10% and BHA (salicylic acid) at a concentration of 1 to 2%. The percentage that is most effective for your skin depends entirely on your skin type, possible skin problems and sensitivity. To find out what concentration produces the best results for your skin, it is best to experiment with different AHA and BHA concentrations.
