3. Oily Skin:

Many of us struggle with the maintenance of oily skin and deal with all its problems. And if you want to know how to exfoliate your oily skin, make sure to add brushing and manual Exfoliation. Manual Exfoliation helps eliminate the extra layer of build-up present on the oily skin. For best results, use an exfoliator or scrub in circular motions.

4. Normal Skin:

You can choose any method of Exfoliation if you have normal skin that doesn’t have any complications. For this skin type, manual and chemical Exfoliation are both safe. However, you might have to experiment a little to see which method works best for your skin.

5. Combination Skin:

As the name suggests, combination skin has both dry and oily areas on its face. Therefore, it needs a different Exfoliation process altogether. The best approach is to use a mix of mechanical and chemical Exfoliation for combination skin.

But make sure you don’t use them both on one day because they might irritate you. Instead, use a moisturizer immediately if your skin feels dry after Exfoliation.

Exfoliation By Body Part:

In the above section, we have discussed how you can exfoliate based on skin type. Here below, we have explained in detail how you can exfoliate sensitive areas of your body.

1. Face:

Your skin type is the determining factor as to what type of exfoliant to use on your face.

• If you are using a scrub to exfoliate your face mechanically, use your finger to apply circular motions to exfoliate your face. Use lukewarm water to rinse your face.
• If you are using a liquid chemical exfoliant, use a washcloth or cotton pad for application. Talk to your dermatologist if you wish to know which exfoliation process suits your skin.

2. Lips:

Lips are the most sensitive organs on our face, and it is best to limit exfoliating lips to once to three times a week to avoid drying your lips. Make sure to use a warm washcloth with a sugar scrub. It is necessary to be very gentle while exfoliating your lips because going overboard might cause redness.
