CHEMICAL EXFOLIATE

There are 2 types of exfoliation

• Physical = uses an ingredient, or a tool, that physically scrubs dead cells from the surface of your skin. Some examples of tools are  brush, sponge or cloth that you rub onto your skin. The ingredients are such as nuts, stones, plants and plant extracts. 

• Chemical = products that contain active ingredients in it such as AHA, BHA and PHA.

Do we really need to exfoliate?

• YES! 2 times in a week. why? sebabnya kalau kita tak exfoliate, our skin akan kusam, kasar, pori tersumbat and all. Plus, if we exfoliate our skin, the dead cells will be "remove" then the skincare products yang kita apply akan mudah serap and lebih nampak kesan      

How to differentiate?

• BHA = kulit berminyak/ berjerawat/ blackhead
• AHA = kulit kusam/ scars     

Can everyone use chemical exfoliate?

NO! You cant use chemical exfoliate if:

1. your skincare routine is not strong yet. haaa yg jenis apply moisturizer & sunscreen takyah la nak pakai chemical exfoliate (CE)  ni sebabnya CE dia buat kulit kita jadi sensitive towards sunlight so kalau tak apply sunscreen, nti senang burn.
2. Breastfeeding/ pregnant women 

• How to know ur skincare routine dah strong? u dah pakai cleanser-moisturizer-sunscreen for at least 6 months

EXTRA NOTES:

• CE can cause purging. dont be scared of "purging" it will only last for at least 2 weeks
