Are you looking for a way to achieve smoother, brighter and more youthful-looking skin? Look no further than exfoliation! This process involves removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, revealing fresh new cells underneath. Not only does this improve the appearance of your skin, but it also allows for better absorption of moisturizers and other skincare products.
There are two main types of exfoliants – chemical and physical. In this blog post, we will be exploring the differences between these two methods and how our Magnolia Orchid or MO Clinical products can help you achieve your desired results.
Chemical Exfoliants
Chemical exfoliants use acids such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to dissolve dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. AHAs, like glycolic acid, work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells while BHAs, such as salicylic acid, penetrate deeper into pores to unclog them.
These types of exfoliants are great for those with dry or sensitive skin as they tend to be less abrasive compared to physical exfoliators. They also have anti-aging benefits since they stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin.
Our MO Clinical Glycolic Peel Pads utilize 10% glycolic acid along with other nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and green tea extract to gently remove dead skin cells while hydrating and brightening the complexion. It is suitable for all skin types but especially beneficial for mature or dull-looking skins.
Physical Exfoliants
Physical exfoliators involve using a tool or product that physically scrubs away dead skins cell on the surface layer. These can include facial scrubs with granules, cleansing brushes or even a washcloth.
While physical exfoliants can provide immediate results in terms of smoother skin, they may be too harsh for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. Over-exfoliation can also damage the skin barrier and lead to irritation and sensitivity.
If you prefer a physical exfoliator, our Magnolia Orchid Rose Gold Peel Off Mask contains natural grains that gently buff away dead skin cells while rose extract soothes and hydrates the skin. This mask is suitable for all skin types but works particularly well on oily or congested skins.
Choosing The Right Exfoliant For Your Skin
When it comes to choosing between chemical and physical exfoliants, it ultimately depends on your individual preferences and specific skincare needs. If you have dry or sensitive skin, chemical exfoliants may be more suitable for you. On the other hand, if you have oily or rough-textured skin, physical exfoliators could be a better option.
It’s important to note that both methods should not be used together as this can cause irritation and over-exfoliation. Instead, incorporate one type of exfoliant into your routine once or twice a week depending on your skin’s tolerance level.
The Importance Of Moisturizing After Exfoliating
No matter which type of exfoliant you choose to use, always remember to moisturize after! Exfoliating removes dead cells from the surface layer of your skin which means any products applied afterwards will penetrate deeper into the layers of your skin. Using a moisturizer after exfoliating helps lock in hydration and keeps your complexion looking plump and healthy.
Our MO Clinical Deep Hydrating Cream is perfect for all skin types as it contains hyaluronic acid which attracts moisture to the surface layer of the epidermis while strengthening the moisture barrier. It also has antioxidant-rich ingredients like green tea extract and vitamin C to protect your skin from environmental stressors.
