Chemical Exfoliation Is Totally Not Scary and Will Completely Change Your Skin
There's no need to fear chemical exfoliation. Here are all the reasons why chemical exfoliation is a game changer for all skin types, according to dermatologists.
Using a toner will not only enhance the results of your skin care regimen (products absorb better applied over a toner than dry skin), but it will also support your skin's natural protective barrier (since toners supply hydration and nutrients). This pick from Peter Thomas Roth takes it one step further with the addition of exfoliating glycolic acid.
These single-step, no-rinse peel pads work wonders post-workout (and post-cleanse). You need to get rid of all the sweat and grime, especially if you wore makeup, and this makes it easy. No moisturizer required.
If you have acne-prone skin, it's important to prevent breakouts on all fronts, especially if you're sweating. This cleanser is effective enough to remove dead skin cells and grime, but not so strong that you can't use it with other chemical exfoliators if you have thick, oily skin.
Your nighttime skin care routine is all about repairing your skin (versus a daytime routine where the main focus is protection from environmental aggressors) because during sleep, skin's protective barrier function is decreased. Before bed is the perfect time to lather on this no-rinse acid solution.
