Which Exfoliant to Use and When?

Tips for Safe and Effective Exfoliation

1. Start slowly: Introduce one exfoliant at a time to gauge your skin’s response.

2. Follow with hydration: Always use a moisturiser after exfoliating to maintain the skin barrier.

3. Protect with SPF: Exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV damage—daily sun protection is essential.

4. Mix wisely: Avoid layering multiple acid-based products on the same day unless recommended by a skincare professional.

Bottom Line:
Whether your goal is radiance, breakout control, brightening, or targeted pigmentation correction, there’s an exfoliant designed to meet your skin’s needs. Combine the right exfoliant with cleansers, moisturisers, and daily SPF for a complete, effective routine that delivers healthy, glowing skin every day.
