Exfoliating Scrubs & Peels for Smoother, Radiant Skin
Exfoliating scrubs and peels are the secret to achieving a brighter, more refined complexion. At CXCosmetics, we offer professional-grade exfoliating solutions that remove dead skin cells, clear pores, and support skin renewal. Whether you prefer a gentle scrub or a deeper peel, our collection has something to suit your skin type and goals.
Why Exfoliating Scrubs & Peels Are Essential in Your Routine
Exfoliating is a crucial step in any skincare routine. By lifting away dead skin cells, exfoliating scrubs and peels help reveal the fresh, healthy skin underneath. They also allow your serums and moisturisers to penetrate more effectively, delivering maximum benefits. Incorporating an exfoliant a few times a week can leave your skin smoother, brighter, and more even in tone.
If you’re also looking for an effective start to your routine, our face washes and cleansers provide a gentle yet thorough cleanse before exfoliating.
How to Choose Between Exfoliating Scrubs and Peels
Both scrubs and peels offer benefits, but they work in different ways.
How to Incorporate Exfoliating Scrubs & Peels into Your Routine
Using exfoliating scrubs and peels effectively is about balance. Here’s a simple guide:
- Cleanse your skin thoroughly with a gentle cleanser.
- Exfoliate two to three times a week to remove buildup and refine texture.
- Follow with a toner to rebalance the skin’s pH. Our collection of facial toners offers options to refresh and prep the skin.
- Apply targeted treatments or serums to address specific concerns like hydration, brightening, or ageing. If you’re focusing on anti-ageing, explore our skincare for mature skin to complement your exfoliation routine.
Use a mask once a week for an extra boost. Our selection of face masks can hydrate, clarify, or soothe after exfoliation.
Post-Exfoliation Care Is Key
After using an exfoliating product, it’s important to support your skin’s recovery. Applying a hydrating moisturiser or a calming serum can help restore the skin’s natural barrier. Our post-treatment skincare offers solutions designed to soothe and protect, perfect for following up after exfoliating treatments.
Tips for Getting the Best Results with Exfoliating Scrubs & Peels
FAQs About Exfoliating Scrubs & Peels
1. What is the difference between exfoliating scrubs and peels?
The difference between exfoliating scrubs and peels is that scrubs use physical particles to manually slough off dead skin, while peels use chemical ingredients like AHAs or BHAs to dissolve dead skin cells and promote renewal.
2. Can exfoliating scrubs cause irritation?
Yes, exfoliating scrubs can cause irritation if they’re used too frequently or if the particles are too rough. Overuse of exfoliating scrubs can damage the skin barrier and lead to redness or sensitivity.
3. How often should I use a peel?
You should use a peel once or twice a week, depending on your skin type and the strength of the peel. Overusing peels can lead to irritation, so always follow the product instructions for safe use
4. Are exfoliating scrubs or peels better for sensitive skin?
Exfoliating peels are often better for sensitive skin than scrubs because they don’t involve manual rubbing. However, it’s important to choose a gentle peel with mild acids and use it cautiously if your skin is sensitive.
5. Can exfoliating help with acne?
Yes, exfoliating can help with acne by removing dead skin cells that can clog pores and cause breakouts. Using an exfoliating scrub or peel with salicylic acid can be particularly effective for acne-prone skin.
