Dual Exfoliation For Maximum Skin Benefits
Exfoliation season, aka “Peel Season” is the most wonderful time of the year…. If you’re an esthetician! Let’s face it – being able to make dramatic improvements in someone’s skin is exciting and very satisfying. There are also many times when performing dual exfoliation on skin can be even more beneficial. Dual exfoliation can can be as aggressive or as gentle as you’d like it to be. It all depends on what tools you’re using to do the duo. The duo are generally a manual form and a chemical form of exfoliation.
Manual
It’s not rocket science. Manual exfoliation is when you use a tool to manually remove dead skin cells from the surface.
Chemical
This is when you’re using some type of chemical or product to work at the cellular level to help with the elimination of surface dead skin cells.
All skin is different, with different needs. Often times, specific forms of exfoliation are better for certain skin situations. Want to get a break down of exfoliation and who it’s good for?
