Common conclusions

It is very essential that oily skin is exfoliated frequently so that no blemishes, blackheads, and clogged pores happen. A physical exfoliator is the finest exfoliator for oily skin. By using lighter pressure, finer grains, or lower settings as needed, you can monitor them. You should also start using an exfoliating scrub with salicylic acid such as Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting Facial Exfoliant. For oily skin, this beta hydroxy acid is the perfect exfoliator. It exfoliates the skin in two directions, so it extracts dead skin cells from the skin surface, and then absorbs the pores inside, getting rid of all the crap that obstructs them. You could exfoliate your skin two to three times a week.

You should definitely avoid scrubbing or using mechanical methods of exfoliation. As well as most physical exfoliators, you should also avoid chemical exfoliation. You should look for one that includes jojoba beads, vanilla seeds, rice bran, or oats because they are perfect for sensitive skin. You could try out the Farmacy Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum, e.l.f. Cosmetics Gentle Peeling Exfoliant, etc. You should only exfoliate once or twice a week.

For dry or flaky skin, exfoliation is essential. On dry skin, avoid mechanical exfoliation because the procedure is dry and can lead to microtears. Glycolic acid can be a great option for byour dry skin because it significantly increases skin's hydration. It does this by helping skin make substances like mucopolysaccharides, which help skin stay hydrated by increasing its natural content of hyaluronic acid, which in turn enhances skin's resilience. Glycolic acid is commonly used in all skin types and is particularly useful in patients with mixed skin.

Regular exfoliation is one of the most effective ways to keep older skin looking youthful and bright. Products that pack a combination of AHA and BHA acids will be your best bet.
