For skin cycling, a chemical exfoliant is recommended to maximize the benefits of the routine and subsequent products. Here's a breakdown:
Chemical vs. Physical Exfoliants
| Exfoliant Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Chemical | Uses acids or enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells. Examples include Glycolic Acid and PHA Toners. |
| Physical | Uses abrasive materials to manually scrub away dead skin cells. Examples include scrubs and brushes. |
Recommended Chemical Exfoliants
The reference recommends the following chemical exfoliants:
- Glycolic Acid Toner: This is a strong option for effective exfoliation.
- PHA Toner: Use this if you have more sensitive skin.
For exfoliators, we recommend using our Glycolic Acid Toner or you can also use our PHA Toner for more sensitive skin.19-Jan-2023
In skin cycling, using a chemical exfoliant on the exfoliation night will prep the skin effectively for the recovery nights, allowing moisturizers and other products to penetrate better and work more efficiently.
