What do exfoliators do?

Exfoliators remove the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, keeping it not just cleaner but also more radiant, brighter, and younger-looking. Think of them as a critical part of a regular skincare routine that gives your complexion a chance to breathe and allows it to better absorb the products you’re going to apply later on.

By removing the dirt and impurities from your skin, exfoliators also help unclog pores and maintain a clearer, more radiant complexion.

While on its own, your skin sheds its dead skin cells to make room for new cells within a 30-day cycle – but you cannot always rely on this process. Occasionally, some dead skin cells are left behind, making your complexion look dry and flaky. But by using a skin exfoliator, you can give your skin a helping hand while also unclogging your pores for a fresher, more revitalised look.

You can easily incorporate exfoliators into your current skincare routine without taking up too much time or effort. At Ultraceuticals, you can choose products such as an exfoliating scrub face and exfoliating cream that can help with dullness and rough texture. With just a little investment, you can reap a multitude of benefits from this type of product.

How to choose the right exfoliator?

The best exfoliator boils down to your skin type – normal, sensitive, or oily – but it’s not always as straightforward as it seems; your skin type may be a combination of any three, posing unique concerns. Read our tips to help you choose the right exfoliator that can address your key skin issues.

Oily and acne-prone skin

Choose products that can refine the appearance of large pores and get rid of the gunk and dead skin cells that are clogging your pores. You can visit Ultraceuticals to find this type of face exfoliator and other skincare for acne products.

Dry skin

Exfoliators that hydrate and replenish the skin’s moisture is your best bet. You may also want to consider something that comes with a gentle exfoliator label.

Dry-normal combination

If you have this skin type, you have two options: use two different products on different areas of your face or buy a skin exfoliator that unclogs pores to minimise the appearance of textured skin. At the same time, consider a product that contains a special formula that hydrates and replenishes the skin’s lost moisture.

Normal skin

If you have normal skin, you may think that you’ve won the lottery as it requires lower maintenance than other types. While there is some truth behind that, you may notice that as you get older, your complexion starts to lose its glow and becomes a bit rough. With that being said, choose exfoliators with hydrating and moisturising properties. Visit Ultraceuticals and choose from our list of best hydrating moisturisers and hydrating serum bottles.

How to exfoliate properly?

As a general rule, you can use exfoliators two to three times per week – as long as your skin can handle it. Test out what works best for you by exfoliating once or twice a week first, then build it up gradually if you find that your skin responds to it well.

Here are the other tips on how to use exfoliators correctly so you can reap their full benefits. 

Choose an exfoliator based on your skin type

In general, those with oily and thicker skin will often be recommended products with stronger acids and mechanical exfoliation. On the other hand, those with sensitive skin can stick to a gentle exfoliator.

Be gentle to your skin

Whether you’re using a scrub or chemical exfoliating products, be gentle to your skin – use a light circular motion for around thirty seconds and rinse off the product with lukewarm water (not hot).

Follow with moisturisers

To keep your skin healthy and hydrated, exfoliating should be followed with a moisturiser.

Finish off with UV sunscreen

This last critical step can help your skin maintain its youthful glow and appearance by protecting it from the effects of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays.

Now that you know the benefits of exfoliators, how to choose the right one based on your skin type, and how to use them judiciously, the next step is to visit Ultraceuticals and choose from our extensive list of skincare products that can address different skin concerns and help you achieve smooth, glowing skin with regular use.
