How to Choose the Best Exfoliator

HOT TIPS FOR FINDING THE BEST EXFOLIATING PRODUCTS

When choosing the best exfoliating products for your face, the most important factor to consider is your skin type.

The best exfoliator for dry skin

Your most important exfoliation step is to follow-up with a good moisturiser, so your skin doesn’t dry out.

Make sure you don’t exfoliate too frequently either.

The best exfoliator for sensitive skin

You are best to avoid exfoliating creams and gels all together. Instead, exfoliate with a gentle brush or washcloth with your regular cleanser.

The best exfoliator for normal skin

Either a scrub or an enzyme-based exfoliator, such as NIVEA’s Daily Essentials Gentle Exfoliating Face Scrub will suit your skin well.

No matter what your skin type is, exfoliation can breathe new life into your complexion.

There are, however, certain exfoliation techniques and products that will work better depending on your skin type, including:

The best exfoliator for oily skin

It's crucial that you don't over exfoliate your oily skin. Over exfoliating will dry out your skin and encourage excessive oil production.

Scrubs are a good choice for oily skin, because they help to break up and remove impurities.

NIVEA Purifying Wash Scrub with Ocean Algae and skin-identical (Hydramine®) is perfect for deeply cleansing your pores with its purifying peeling scrubs to reduce and prevent impurities.
