Scrub vs chemical exfoliator, which one is better?

Chemical exfoliators are gentler and more even. Scrubs can be too abrasive for sensitive skin. Choose based on your skin condition.

How do you use a scrub the right way?

Gently massage in circular motions. Avoid the eye area and skin that's irritated or has active acne.

When should you stop exfoliating?

If your skin feels stinging, red, or super dry. Your skin barrier might be damaged and needs some recovery time.
