Exfoliators & Peels FAQs

#Is exfoliator and scrub the same, or is exfoliate and scrub the same?

While related, they are not identical. An exfoliator is a broad term for any treatment that removes dead skin cells. A facial scrub is a type of physical exfoliator using granular particles, while chemical face peels dissolve dead cells without abrasion.

#What do chemical peels do for your face?

Home chemical face peels work by applying gentle acids to the skin, which speeds up the cellular turnover process. This action refines pores, diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improves overall skin texture, and enhances radiance by revealing fresh cells.

#How often should I exfoliate or use a face peel mask?

For most skin types, using a face peel mask 2–3 times per week is sufficient. Over-exfoliation can cause sensitivity, dryness, and irritation, so it is crucial to follow the specific instructions for the product you are using.

Moisturiser peeling, or “pilling,” usually indicates surface buildup or improper layering. Using a facial scrub or chemical face peel first removes dead skin cells, allowing moisturisers to absorb smoothly and perform optimally.

The Power of Exfoliators & Peels for Skin Resurfacing

Incorporating exfoliators & face peels into your routine is essential for optimal skin health and renewal. These treatments work to physically or chemically remove the build-up of dead skin cells that cause dullness, congestion, and uneven texture. By accelerating the natural cellular turnover process, products like a facial scrub or a chemical face peel mask reveal fresher skin, enhance radiance, smooth texture, and ensure serums and moisturisers penetrate more effectively for optimal results.

Key Ingredients in Home Chemical Face Peels and Scrubs

Our curated selection offers a variety of exfoliation methods. A traditional skin exfoliation scrub uses a rougher texture to physically massage and lift dead skin cells, while liquid and home chemical face peels use effective acids to chemically target and dissolve the bonds holding dead cells to the surface. Key ingredients include Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) like Glycolic and Lactic Acid, which improve tone and hydration, and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) like Salicylic Acid, which are excellent for deep pore cleansing. These potent ingredients promote a smoother texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
