Previously exfoliating the face was considered just as an option. But it isn’t the same now. The latest products not only remove the dead skin but make it clear, smooth, and nourished. Now, what does exfoliating do to the skin? When our skin gets aged, it creates a lot of problems for the health and skin. In the case of skin, you can visualize fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, etc. Similarly, one of the other drawbacks is, it slows down the shedding of dead skin cells. This may sound ok for many. But no, when the dead skin cells get accumulated on the skin for a long time, it leads to numerous skin problems like dullness, clogged pores, etc. If you want to avoid all these skin concerns, the best way possible is to exfoliate the skin right with effective exfoliators. Today’s post is all about exfoliating the skin with nature’s finest ingredients. 

When you decide to exfoliate the skin, you will be chaotic to pick the right product due to the long list of exfoliators. So, how to choose the best among them? Exfoliators are mainly of two types, physical and chemical exfoliators. Physical exfoliators are comparatively gentle on the skin and slough off the dead skin cells effectively using tiny granules. The chemical types use acids or other powerful chemicals to remove the dead skin cells powerfully from the skin. When you look for the benefits, both deliver the same, like softening the skin, clearing all impurities, lightening the blemishes, and improving the texture and tone of the skin. 

Physical exfoliators are way safer on the skin and are a quick fix, and in fact, they are a much convenient and cheaper option than a chemical exfoliator. Among the physical exfoliators, natural exfoliators are gentle on the skin and are very effective. 

Tips To Follow While Exfoliating Sensitive Skin: 

Unlike the other skin types, sensitive skin requires utmost care while exfoliating. Among the various skin types, sensitive skin and dry skin are more prone to irritation and redness. But, this doesn’t mean that you should stay away from exfoliating the skin. All you need to do while exfoliating sensitive skin is to choose a gentle exfoliator, preferably a natural exfoliator.  

Next, while exfoliating the sensitive skin, be gentle and do not rub harshly. Similarly, ensure that you don’t over-exfoliate the skin. 

The next tip that has to be kept in mind is a sensitive skin needs to be exfoliated only once or twice a week maximum.  

Benefits of Natural Exfoliators: 

Exfoliating the skin is not an option instead; it’s a necessity for the skin. This process is mandatory for the skin if you want the skin to be free from dead skin cells and skin problems. It is why we get a myriad of exfoliators in the market nowadays. But if you want to actually benefit from exfoliating the skin, choosing a natural exfoliator over the chemical ones is the best. 

Chemical exfoliators may contain harsh chemicals which may damage the skin. Whereas natural exfoliators include ingredients derived from herbal extracts, and they are gentle on the skin providing countless benefits on them. 

Exfoliators with natural ingredients are rich in antioxidants which are essential for skin health. Added, natural exfoliators are power-packed with vitamins and minerals; hence when applied to the skin, it delivers all the nourishments needed to stay healthy. 

Over-exfoliating Can Harm Your Skin: 

Whether it is a natural exfoliator or chemical, over-exfoliating can harm the skin badly. It is always best to exfoliate twice a week, irrespective of skin type. Here are some tips for identifying whether you are over-exfoliating the skin; 

• Redness on the skin:

When you exfoliate the skin too often or if you are using harsh chemicals on the skin for exfoliating, the first reaction that the skin shows is redness.  Never exfoliate your skin if you feel that your skin is irritated, as it can worsen the condition. 

• Breakouts on the skin:

If the exfoliator contains harsh chemicals or ingredients that don’t suit your skin type, it may result in breakouts. In this case, you may immediately stop the product and consider milder options. Similarly, over-exfoliating may damage the skin's protective layer hence resulting in infections followed by breakouts. 

• Can Make Your Skin Dry:

When the natural oil or moisture on the skin is stripped off, it may lead to dry and flaky skin. If you have dry skin, it’s better to exfoliate the skin once a week and ensure that a good moisturizer is applied after the exfoliating process.
