Exfoliation: do you really need more?

Before adding a step, check its usefulness and skin tolerance.

An optional step

The scrub is not an obligation to have a complete routine. To decide, start with your goal: make-up that hangs, touch irregular or simple desire for a moment of care. An already uncomfortable skin requires caution, not an automatic intensification.

Read the whole routine

Some products combine several functions. Check the package leaflets before cumulating an exfoliant, an active cleaner and a device. An attractive demonstration does not tell how your skin will tolerate the set. If you hesitate, bring the names of the products to a professional and ask what steps are really needed.

  • Avoid increasing the frequency beyond the instructions.
  • Do not rub an irritated area to make it smoother.
  • Provide appropriate sun protection and seek advice on assets.

An example to adapt to your daily life

You already use a serum and discover a scrub presented for brilliance. Before adding them, read the package leaflets and prepare the exact references for a tip. If the skin draws some days, note which ones and what has been used. The feeling of grain smoothed immediately after a treatment is not enough to assess its overall interest. Your decision may be to space a step or remove it, while keeping a satisfactory and more comfortable routine.

A success can be a simplification

For a beauty check, note if the days without exfoliation are more comfortable. This marker can lead to space or removal of a step. Persistent squams, plates or itching do not necessarily settle with a scrub: they justify an assessment of their cause.

Useful questions for your next exchange

  • Do my products have overlapping functions?
  • What frequency is appropriate for current records?
  • Should this skin relief be examined?
