For many people, exfoliation is a tricky subject. Lots of us think that exfoliation is not for us, whether that’s because of a bad experience or just not really knowing where to start. Fortunately, here at Pure Beauty, we have a wide selection of exfoliators for all different skin types and we’ve curated a list to help you to choose the best one for you.
Normal Skin
Those of you with normal skin are lucky because your skin is usually non-reactive, meaning that you can use almost any product and it will suit your skin. This means that you’ve got your pick of the bunch, but we’d recommend Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant, which is suitable for all but sensitive skin types and will detach dead skin debris and promote cell renewal for a smooth complexion.
Dry Skin
Dry skin is the skin type which benefits most from exfoliation as you often have an excess of dead skin cells that you need to get rid of. We recommend a powerful product along the lines of Dermalogica Daily Superfoliant, which provides triple-action adsorption along with physical and chemical exfoliation, removing harmful impurities from pollutants that have built up on skin throughout the day.
Oily Skin
Oily skin can be a pain to get under control, and it’s not uncommon to find that an underlying cause for oiliness is actually dry skin, causing your body to overcompensate with excess sebum production. Dermalogica Foaming Wash is developed for oily skin and contains salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid that exfoliates surface skin cells and reduces inflammation.
Combination Skin
If you have combination skin, you might find that Dermalogica’s Exfoliating Face Brush works well for you. It can be used in conjunction with your eisting cleanser and allows you to target the areas where you feel you need exfoliation, while avoiding any areas which may suffer from sensitivity.
Ageing Skin
If your skin is ageing, be it prematurely or right on schedule, you probably have a degree of dryness to your skin. However, once skin starts to lose collagen it can become delicate and harsh physical exfoliators can cause micro-tears in delicate skin, leaving you open to damage and even infection. Dermalogica Multivitamin Thermafoliant is powerful thermal polisher that combines physical and chemical exfoliants to refine skin texture and enhance penetration of ingredients into skin. It is suitable for drier and prematurely-ageing skin.
