What type of exfoliating product is best to use on the face?
There are several options for facial exfoliation. Opt for one that gives you great results without irritating your skin. Facial scrubs are formulated for every skin type, and include a mild abrasive plus additional beneficial ingredients, such as oatmeal, herbs and vitamins. Avoid using body scrubs on your face; they tend to be too coarse and harsh. You can also use an exfoliating facial pad, a facial brush or a washcloth, any of which can be used with your favorite facial cleanser. If you choose one of these options, be sure to change your washcloth frequently and rinse your pad or brush thoroughly after each use in order to avoid bacteria buildup. At-home microdermabrasion is a great option for facial exfoliation. It gently refines the surface of the skin and smooths away fine lines and imperfections with no recovery time after treatments. Facial serums with alpha and beta hydroxy acids chemically exfoliate the skin, leaving it smoother, fresher-looking and clearer.
