Exfoliation is the secret weapon in our skincare arsenal, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. If you've ever dreamed of a complexion that feels as soft and smooth as a baby's cheek, you're in the right place. From oily skin to dry skin,sensitive skin to combination skin, each skin type requires a unique approach to sloughing off dead skin cells and revealing that radiant glow beneath. With the right exfoliation routine, you'll not only enhance your skin’s texture but also boost your confidence, leaving you feeling fresh, radiant, and ready to take on the world. Here’s to your journey towards that enviable glow—one gentle scrub at a time!


Dry Skin

Are you battling dry and flaky skin? Exfoliation is your go-to solution for achieving that radiant, healthy glow without aggravating your condition. Say goodbye to harsh mechanical scrubs that can cause microtears and irritation! Instead, embrace the magic of AHAs, aka glycolic acid. Try The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner once a week to gently dissolve dead skin cells and boost cell turnover. And don’t forget to follow up with a hydrating moisturizer and SPF to protect against sun sensitivity. Your skin will thank you for this tender loving care!

The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner is expertly formulated with 7% glycolic acid, a powerful alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its ability to effectively exfoliate the skin. What sets this toner apart is the inclusion of Tasmanian Pepperberry extract, a soothing plant ingredient that helps reduce the irritation often associated with exfoliation. Pro tip from the Stylevana HQ: incorporate this toner into your evening routine, and always follow up with SPF during the day to protect your freshly exfoliated skin. It’s also great for targeting rough, bumpy areas on your body!


Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin, it deserves the utmost gentleness during exfoliation. Avoid scrubs or harsh methods that can trigger redness or irritation. Instead, opt for a mild chemical exfoliator like the CELIMAX Ji Woo Gae Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pad. Apply it with a soft washcloth once a week to keep your skin balanced and calm. If acne is a concern, consider consulting your dermatologist about a salicylic acid peel. Remember, gentle care is the key to a happy, healthy complexion!

Oily Skin

Got oily skin? You’re in luck! A bit of manual exfoliation can work wonders. Your skin might hold onto an extra layer of buildup, making clay masks and face scrubs your best friends. Try the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Quick Clay Stick Mask to effectively draw out impurities without overdoing it. Gently exfoliate in circular motions two to three times a week, and watch as you bid farewell to excess oil and say hello to a clearer, fresher complexion!

Lucky you! With normal skin, you have the freedom to explore a variety of exfoliation methods. Both manual and chemical exfoliants are safe for your skin type, but it might take a bit of experimentation to discover your perfect match. Products like the ANUA Heartleaf LHA Moisture Peeling Gel offer a gentle yet effective exfoliation experience. You can exfoliate one to three times a week, adjusting based on how your skin responds.

Combination Skin

Combination skin often requires a tailored approach to exfoliation. A blend of mechanical and chemical methods can work wonders, but remember to avoid using both on the same day to prevent irritation. Consider the Isntree Chestnut AHA 8% Clear Essence for a refreshing chemical exfoliation session. If your skin feels dry afterward, be sure to slather on a nourishing moisturizer right away. Balance is essential, and with the right routine, your skin will look and feel absolutely fabulous!
