You're probably aware that exfoliation is a staple of any beauty routine. So far, so good. The question becomes much more complicated when you have to differentiate between grain scrubs, peels, and enzymatic scrubs.
And when it comes to knowing which treatment would best suit your skin type, you're completely lost. PAYOT takes a look at exfoliation and helps you find the one that's right for you. A fresh, luminous complexion awaits!
Why and how should I exfoliate my skin?
Exfoliation is an essential step in taking care of your skin. In concrete terms, it is a specific treatment that eliminates impurities ( pollution, excess sebum, dead skin ) accumulated on the surface of the skin to "erase" skin imperfections. The goal? To free the skin of impurities, smooth it and restore its radiance.
We often talk about scrubbing instead of exfoliation , but in reality, exfoliating treatments can be very different from one another. Each treatment has its own specificities and instructions for use.
Grain scrub
This is a mechanical exfoliating treatment. It works because we massage (or rather, "scrub") our skin with the grains contained in the treatment. For facial exfoliation, it's essential to choose a scrub with fine grains to avoid damaging your skin.
Enzymatic exfoliation
This is a chemical exfoliating treatment. The exfoliating agents, fruit acids (Alpha Hydroxy Acid or AHA), are unparalleled in attacking and eliminating dead skin cells. The advantage is that we don't have to do anything other than apply the treatment to our skin and let it sit. Impurities will disappear when rinsed, dissolved by the fruit acids contained in the formula.
The peeling
It works in the same way as the enzymatic scrub but this one has a higher concentration of AHAs to provide deeper exfoliation.

It's best to avoid grain scrubs, which could irritate you. Instead, opt for an enzymatic scrub for exfoliation that's as gentle as it is effective. With the Gentle Exfoliating Jelly, your complexion is enhanced and regains its natural purity. If you prefer the action of a mechanical scrub, you can also opt for the Gentle Raspberry Scrub, which is also very suitable for sensitive skin.

Contrary to popular belief, they need to be pampered, not stripped. So, opt for a grain scrub while benefiting from deep exfoliation with the Purifying Exfoliating Stick. Its hemp grain texture provides a smooth, purified skin texture. One last tip: exfoliate your skin once or twice a week. Exfoliating more than this can cause more harm than good. As with all good things, you can't do too much!
