What are the choices for exfoliation?– There are 4 basic types of exfoliation. 1) SCRUBS are granular products that are used to buff off the upper layers of dead cells. *One of our favorites is Eminence Pear & Poppy Seed Microderm Polisher using pear, green apple, walnut and poppy seed to strengthen, even and unclog pores. 2) ENZYMES are mask-like products. They can come from Green Papaya, Pumpkin, Mango etc. The enzymes digest the dead cells within the skin. They are able to penetrate within the skin to eliminate dead cells that are glued in place. *A perfect treatment 2-3x a week would be our Yam & Pumpkin Enzyme Peel 5%. 3) Alpha Hydroxy Acids(AHA) come from natural sources such as Sugarcane, Sour Milk, Apples, Grapes etc. These burn off the dead cells. Each source has a different molecule size, and this governs how far the acid penetrates or whether it simply exfoliates the surface of the skin. *This unique Ageless Total Resurfacing Masque from Image Skin Care includes ALL 4 types of exfoliant types! To be used 1-3x a week, it incorporates Papaya, Glycolic, Lactic, Salicylic and Arnica to slough dead cells, reduce oil, and lighten sun damage. 4) Beta Hydroxy Acids(BHA) (Salicylic) is an oil lover. It does exfoliate the surface of the skin, but its greatest benefit is that it is pulled into the oily pores, and exfoliates the lining of those pores. This helps eliminate the Blackheads that are so hard to get rid of. *Image Skin Care has the perfect Clear Cell Salicylic Clarifying Tonic to gently removes excess oil and bacteria while refreshing the skin with essential herbal extracts of Tea Tree, Green Tea & Ivy.
