Dream - Exfoliation is very important to be done regularly. This treatment can be done with a scrub or chemical exfoliation formula, which can help remove dead skin cells, unclog blocked pores, and make the skin smoother and brighter.
For those of you who have sensitive skin types, it may be difficult to find the right exfoliation products and techniques that will not cause dryness and irritation.
Therefore, it is necessary to know some tips in choosing exfoliator products as well as how often you should exfoliate, which of course is based on expert statements.
How to Exfoliate Sensitive Skin
There are two types of exfoliators that can be used, physical exfoliators and chemical exfoliators. Physical exfoliators use abrasive substances (such as sugar or salt particles) to remove dead skin, while chemical exfoliators contain acids like beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) or alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently dissolve dead skin, resulting in smoother and brighter skin.
Chemical Exfoliator
"In choosing an exfoliator for sensitive skin, Paul Jarrod Frank, a certified cosmetic Dermatologist based in New York, recommends the use of gentle chemical exfoliators."
“Using a gentle chemical exfoliator is better because physical exfoliators can be too abrasive and tend to cause redness and irritation for those with sensitive skin,” said Paul.
You also need to pay attention to the selection of chemical exfoliator products. Dr. Paul recommends looking for products with lactic acid, which is the lightest form of AHA. If you want to use an exfoliator that contains glycolic acid, choose a lotion formula.
"Pay Attention to Acid Concentration"
Chemical exfoliator is indeed recommended for use, but still pay attention to the concentration of acid in the product. Look for products with a low percentage of acid, especially below 10%.
Use Sunscreen
The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "The last but not least, it is important to remember that the use of chemical exfoliators can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight."
Don't forget to apply sunscreen or other sun protection after exfoliating, okay.
"How often should exfoliation be done?"
Exfoliation is indeed an important step in skincare routine, but there are no specific rules on how often you should do it. For sensitive skin, it is recommended to start with exfoliating once a week and immediately stop if any unwanted reactions occur. Consult a dermatologist if necessary.
If the skin can "tolerate" exfoliation, the frequency can gradually be increased to two or three times a week.
"Before exfoliating, don't forget to cleanse the skin from makeup and other skincare products, okay. Dr. Paul recommends exfoliating when the facial skin is clean and paying attention to the temperature of the water used when washing the face, especially for those who have sensitive skin."
If you do excessive exfoliation, use moisturizer and sunscreen to soothe and protect the skin from sun damage. To speed up recovery, give the skin a rest from the use of active ingredients for a week or more.
Consult with a dermatologist to determine the best skin exfoliation routine according to your skin's needs. By doing so, your skin will remain healthy and protected from potential damage. Report by Marha Adani Putri/ Source: Skincare.com.
