Although it sounds simple, exfoliation cannot be done carelessly. Dream friends must exfoliate with the right products. Because exfoliating with the wrong products and methods can potentially irritate or cause other skin problems. Follow the tips from Skin Doctor, Yessica Tania, below to ensure your exfoliation method is correct.

There are also skincare products that aim to exfoliate with glycolic acid content. This content has small molecules that make it easier to be absorbed into the skin. "So the results are also fast, but the side effects are also increasing," Yessica said. The longer it is used, the potential for glycolic acid side effects will also increase.

If you are using a rinse-off exfoliator for the first time, try using the product for a short duration, such as 30 seconds to 1 minute, to make it safer. Increase the duration until it reaches the skin's tolerance limit. If the duration is excessive, your skin may experience hyperpigmentation due to irritation.

Choose an exfoliator with fine grains for a more comfortable and safe experience for your skin. Even if your skin doesn't experience irritation during exfoliation, it is still recommended to exfoliate 1-2 times a week for long-term safety. This is especially important if your skin tends to be dry and sensitive.
