Do You Use Physical or Chemical Exfoliating Products?
Do you use physical or chemical exfoliating products? How often do you exfoliate? I’m more of a physical kind of girl myself because I’m a little unsure of myself around acids! As I’ve gotten older I’m starting to explore chemical exfoliating products more and more though. I started using the Inkey List Lactic Acid which is gentle and ideal for drier skin and I like the results so far. I’ve used Pixi’s Glow Tonic in the past but the smell became too much for me (it smells like old lady perfume) and I stopped using it. I’ve also used Resist Advanced Smoothing Treatment 10% AHA and had fantastic results.
I have to admit though I find physical exfoliating a lot easier! When I use a chemical exfoliating product I have to be careful which other products I’m combining it with. If I use a physical one there’s no such issue.
I do think that physical exfoliating products can really dry my skin out though where as physical ones I don’t experience the same reaction. I tend to exfoliate twice a week if I’m using a physical product and that’s even too much. For acids/chemicals I use them every night. I’ve sort of made a promise to myself that this year I’d start going the chemical route. I think my skin will thank me when the long, hard Winter makes an appearance!
