…the difference between mechanical and chemical exfoliation? 

Our skincells are continously renewing themselves so when a skincell dies it becomes dry giving the skin a dull look and a rough feel to it. Exfoliating the skin will remove these dead skin build-ups and can restore the natural glow of your skin. Exfoliation should be incorporated in your skincare routine if you struggle with clogged pores, dull or rough skin, minor scarring or fine lines.

There are two ways to exfoliate dead skin: mechanical or physical exfoliation and chemical exfoliation:

Mechanical or physical exfoliation (e.g. our Face Scrub) makes use of a hard substance like coffee grounds to gently scrub dead skin away. (Please try to avoid products with microbeads and plastic granules as much as possible due to their harmful impact on our environment. MayBeauty has opted for coffee grounds which are a natural substance that biodegrades.)

Chemical exfoliation (e.g. our Gel) utilizes acids or enzymes to remove dead skin cells. The Gel contains XXX which removes dead skincells. Chemical exfoliants should not be used on or around the skin of your eyes.

Skintypes:

If you have sensitive skin we recommend not to exfoliate more often than once a week. Normal and combination skin can be exfoliated up to 3 times a week and oily skin even up to 5 times a week.

The exfoliation process can leave your skin dryer than before, so do make sure to moisturise it afterwards. For dry skin we recommend our Exfoliating Face Scrub, as it contains natural coconut oil which nurtures your skin in the process.
