What is exfoliating gel? How to choose an exfoliating product?

What is exfoliating gel for? Generally, the stratum corneum of women's skin is relatively thin, and exfoliating gel can play a very good cleansing role, removing the aging keratin, sebum and excess secretions in the pores on the skin surface, unclogging the pores and allowing the skin to breathe better.

What is exfoliating gel for?

Exfoliating gel is a chemical dissolving exfoliating product. The skin-rejuvenating exfoliating gel is very gentle and can gently remove dead skin cells on the face, restoring the skin to a hydrated and smooth state. Common exfoliating products include exfoliating scrubs, exfoliating gels, exfoliating gels, etc.

How to use exfoliating gel

First remove makeup and clean the skin, then take a soybean-sized amount of exfoliating gel and apply it evenly on the skin to be cleaned. Then gently rub it for two or three minutes to rub out the mud curls. Finally, wash off the dead skin and dandruff with clean water and apply lotion.

How to choose exfoliating products

Currently, the exfoliating products on the market can be divided into two types: one is the scrub type and the other is the chemical dissolving type. When using scrub-type exfoliating products, you should pay special attention to the strength of your fingers. Excessive force can easily damage the facial skin. The smaller and smoother the particles of scrub-type exfoliating products are, the better. Most chemical dissolving exfoliating products contain chemical ingredients such as fruit acid, salicylic acid, papaya enzyme, sulfur, etc. that can remove dead skin cells. Generally speaking, manufacturers will add them to regular products such as facial cleansers, lotions, gels and facial masks. The higher the concentration of such products, the more effective they are in promoting skin metabolism.

In addition to choosing exfoliating products based on their ingredients, we can also choose different exfoliating products based on different skin types. Oily skin has a thicker stratum corneum, so you can choose a scrub-type exfoliating product and exfoliate once a week. Normal skin and combination skin have similar skin types and can be treated with both scrub-based and chemical-based exfoliants. Exfoliate every 2 to 4 weeks. For sensitive skin, it is not recommended to use scrub products. For this type of skin, you should choose mild chemical dissolving products.

Why exfoliate?

Unbalanced diet, abnormal lifestyle, staying up late, smoking, drinking, emotional factors and other factors often slow down the metabolism. Abnormal metabolism prevents keratin cells from falling off naturally, and they accumulate thickly on the surface, causing rough and dull skin. Therefore, exfoliation is used to remove the old dead skin cells on the skin surface and let the skin breathe again.
