If you have problem skin, or it is very sensitive, you are best using the Exfoliant with 1% Salicylic Acid in the normal to oily skin range. In general, Salicylic Acid is well tolerated by all skin types. Even if you have very oily skin, this Exfoliant is recommended. It is, however, important that you first test the product on the inside of your elbow.

In the evening apply the Exfoliant after the Toner. You only need to apply a thin layer. It is important that you leave the Exfoliant to absorb in for ten minutes before you apply the Moisturizer. The Exfoliant does not need to be rinsed off.

Scrubbing removes the uppermost layer of dead skin cells. The drawback with this is that parts of the layer underneath are often damaged. You are therefore irritating the skin, instead of looking after her. A Salicylic Acid or Glycolic Acid based Exfoliant ensures that the connection between the uppermost layer of dead skin cells is reduced, making it easier for them to be released: revealing a fresher and more radiant skin.

Salicylic acid belongs to the Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA’s); Glycolic Acid to the fruit acids (AHA’s). Salicylic acid cleans the pores. This makes it a very suitable ingredient for skin with acne. Glycolic acid makes sure that the skin retains moisture more efficiently and makes surface pigmentation and wrinkles less noticeable. It penetrates deeper into the skin increasing the risk of irritation. So for sensitive skin (irrespective of whether it is dry or oily skin) Salicylic Acid is more suitable.

As pores get blocked, they become more visible. If they stay blocked for a long period of time then the wall of the pore can stretch. A visible pore is often a blocked, and in most cases, a stretched pore. Pores do not contain muscles, therefore, they are structures which are unable to change in size. An Exfoliant makes sure that pores remain clean and, in so doing, less noticeable.

We lose most of the dead skin cells automatically, however there are those that have a tendency to adhere to one another; the result is a thick and uneven uppermost skin layer. This affects the glow or colour of your skin. It is the same as a mirror. The smoother the surface, the more the light is reflected. Too many dead skin cells causes less light to reflect making your skin look dull. An Exfoliant removes dead skin cells in a gentle way making your skin smooth and radiant again.
