Physical Exfoliation:

• Method: Uses abrasive materials or tools (e.g., scrubs, brushes) to manually slough off dead skin cells.
• Benefits: Provides immediate smoothness and can be adjusted based on skin sensitivity.
• Considerations: Can be harsh on sensitive or acne-prone skin, potentially causing irritation or micro-tears if overused.

Chemical Exfoliation:

• Method: Utilizes acids (e.g., AHAs like glycolic acid, BHAs like salicylic acid) or enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells and improve skin texture.
• Benefits: Offers even exfoliation, penetrates deeper into pores, and is generally gentler on sensitive skin.
• Considerations: Can increase sun sensitivity; gradual introduction is recommended to avoid irritation.

Both methods can enhance skin texture and radiance, but choosing the right type depends on your skin type and concerns.
