Physical, chemical, enzymatic... what type is best? How often should I exfoliate? Gemma Watts answers all your exfoliation questions.

AS WE ENTER A NEW SEASON, IT´S TIME TO SPRING CLEAN- A CONEPT WORTH EXTENDING TO OUR SKINCARE

If your goal is to reveal a fresh, smooth, bright complexion, exfoliation is the skincare step to take you there. 

While apricot scrubs and microbeads are relics of our collective beauty pasts, a new generation of physical, chemical and enzymatic exfoliants are here to help us reveal our freshest skin ever. 

Despite its history (exfoliation is believed to have first been a skin ritual employed by the Ancient Egyptians), there is still much mystery surrounding this skincare step. 

To prepare your skin for a new season, I’m here to answer all of your exfoliation questions. 

Exfoliation is the removal of dead and dry cells from the skin’s surface. Cell turnover is a process our skin actually does naturally, on its own, so exfoliation allows us to speed up that process. 

Our skin functions on a cycle that lasts around 28 days. During that time, our body forms new skin cells deep within the layers of the dermis. Over the 28 days that follow, those new cells mature and make their way to the outermost layer of the skin, the epidermis, before dying and shedding naturally. 

Once our skin cells are “dead,” they can take on a hard, dry quality which can give our skin a rough texture and a dull appearance. Exfoliation allows us to remove that textured layer to give the skin a smooth texture and a fresh, bright appearance instead. 

Given that our body does turn its cells over on a natural skin cycle, exfoliation actually isn’t entirely necessary! 

How often you need to exfoliate really does come down to personal preference, however most skin professionals agree that exfoliation should not be done every day. 

This is because over-exfoliation can be of detriment to the skin barrier, leaving the skin open to environmental stressors and aggressors and potentially worsening any existing skin conditions. It’s also recommended that those with rosacea, eczema and dermatitis (or related conditions) keep exfoliation to a minimum to ensure the skin barrier remains intact. 

That said, it’s always worth visiting a dermatologist or dermal clinician in these instances to ensure you’re receiving personalised advice. 

Skin type and conditions aside, your existing skincare routine also dictates how often you should (and can) exfoliate. 

A basic rule of thumb is to ensure you aren’t using an exfoliant and a retinol based product on the same day. 

While you technically can use both (as retinol is not an exfoliant - it does work to speed up cell turnover, but it can’t physically remove dead cells), retinol is a highly potent active ingredient so using it in conjunction with an exfoliant has the potential to cause irritation. 

Another consideration is, of course, the product and formula itself. Some exfoliants (particularly chemical and enzymatic, which I’ll get to shortly) are gentle enough for daily use, so always check the instructions and pay close attention to the way your skin responds. 

Truly, not a lot. Your skin is naturally turning its cells over, however skipping exfoliation entirely can leave you with flakey, dull skin and blocked pores, which is why it’s a worthwhile step. 

For some context, I personally exfoliate my facial skin once per week (as I use a retinol every second evening), and I find that my body can tolerate exfoliation twice per week as the skin on body gets significantly drier and more textured than my face. It’s all about examining your own skin and being aware of what you can and cannot tolerate. 

WHAT´S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "CHEMICAL" AND "PHYSICAL" EXFOLIANTS?

When we talk about exfoliation, many people think only of physical scrubs (or even mitts!) that manually work to slough away dry skin cells. 

Physical scrubs contain tiny particles or grains that work to buff and polish away those dead cells to reveal a smoother texture. 

These particles can be made from ingredients like oat or sugarcane, depending on the product. Physical exfoliants are fabulous for those who have visibly flakey skin or skin with a high tolerance that isn’t easily irritated. 

Personally, I find physical scrubs can be slightly too abrasive for my facial skin, however I love using a scrub for my body.

Chemical exfoliants (a slightly confusing term, as technically everything is a chemical) refers to liquid exfoliating solutions. 

These products contain acidic ingredients, the most popular being AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids, like glycolic and lactic acids), BHAs (beta hydroxy acids, like salicylic acid) and even PHAs (polyhydroxy acids, like lactobionic acid) that work to dissolve the dead cells, rather than physically buffing them away. 

These exfoliants are usually applied by dampening a cotton round with the product and gently sweeping it across the face. AHAs are a great option for those with dry skin, as they work to dissolve cells on the surface of the skin, while BHAs are a favourite amongst those with oily or acneic skin as they work deeper within the pores to dissolve blockages. 

Enzymatic exfloliants have gained popularity in recent years, as they work in a similar way to AHAs but are slightly gentler. 

Enzyme exfoliants also “dissolve” the bonds that hold dead and dry cells together, rather than using abrasive granules, however enzymes are gentle enough to cause little to no detriment to the skin barrier. 

HOW TO WORK EXFOLIATION INTO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE 


Working exfoliation into your routine is surprisingly simple. Exfoliation should be performed after cleansing and before applying any essences, masks, serums or toners. This is because an exfoliant will leave the skin fresh and ready to absorb the steps that follow- think of it as a deeper cleanse. 

Personally, I use either a “chemical” or enzymatic exfoliant once per week in the evening, in lieu of a second cleanse. An example routine would be:

+ Step 1. First cleanse to remove makeup 

+ Step 3: Essence (an optional step if my skin is feeling dry)

+ Step 4: Serum (not a retinol- I prefer not to exfoliate and use retinol on the same night)

How often should you exfoliate?

I love embarking on a skincare ingredient deep dive, getting to the core of what an ingredient is, where it comes from and, most importantly, what visible results it can deliver for our skin. 

That said, it’s been brought to my attention that perhaps a glossary of sorts would be of benefit to skincare newcomers and aficionados alike- an index to be scanned and referenced when needed, a place in which to dip the toes ahead of the deep dive.

Let this glossary be your skincare ingredient index. Below, you’ll find an edit of the skincare industry’s most used (and your most commonly queried) ingredients. Consider this your top level look at the beauty industry buzzwords that have joined our lexicon of late, helping you decode in simple terms which ingredients are right for your skin- and the changes you wish to see in it!

Microbioskin ™ Botanical Multi Balm 50ml

The quest for beautiful skin can often feel overwhelming. 

Plus, with so many new technologies and skincare advancements, it’s easy to get caught up and want to try - and buy - every new thing. 

However, the newest serum will do nothing if you haven’t set yourself a solid foundation to add that new serum into. Key to this is finding a great cleanser.  

As a Dermal Therapist I honestly feel a great cleanser is the backbone of a great skincare routine (after SPF). Yet cleansing never gets the recognition it deserves. 

You see, cleansing isn’t just about quickly doing a 10 second lather then calling it a day. 

A proper cleanse is cleansing for at least one minute every morning and doing the same thing at night with a double cleanse to properly remove your makeup, sunscreen, as well as any additional pollution, dirt and grime on your face. 

And if we aren’t cleansing properly? Well, leaving your skin unclean can accelerate premature ageing and increase the likelihood of breakouts - or prevent current ones from healing. 

When you’re not cleansing properly the serums and products that you use after will likely not work as efficiently. And when we’re spending upwards to $200 sometimes - we want these products to be working as best as they can. 

Incorrect cleansing can also lead to irritation and skin sensitivities. So let’s chat through a few cleansing tips that will help. 

Washing your hands before cleansing your face is important in order to prevent the transfer of bacteria and in turn, prevent acne. 

Using the wrong cleanser for your skin type



Using the right cleanser for your skin is vitally important. Every skin is unique and needs to find something to suit it. 

Choosing the right cleanser will ensure you’re actually removing dirt, pollution, bacteria etc… properly and you’re not compromising your skin’s barrier in the process. 

Also, it is best to use a product specifically formulated for the face - and not the body - for best results. 


Not double cleansing to remove you makeup at the end of the day

Double cleansing involves washing your face using two products: an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser at the end of the day. 

There’s no need to double cleanse in the morning, but at night it’s the best way to ensure your face is properly clean. The first step, which is often done with an oil or balm cleanser, removes your makeup and draws out oil-based impurities such as sebum and pollutants from the skin.

The second step thoroughly cleanses water-based debris with a gel/foam or cream cleanser - and this includes dirt and sweat. 

Double cleansing is especially beneficial if you are a heavy makeup wearer. And yes, you can double cleanse with one well formulated cleanser if that is what you prefer. 

Your cleanser is over-exfoliating your skin

A lot of people don’t realise that the cleanser they’re using contains active ingredients, so they use it 2-3 times a day and are even including vitamin As and other exfoliating serums into the mix. 

All of which can be too much for the skin. 

When your skin is prone to breakouts or is sensitive, this can lead to a whole range of other issues including increased sensitivities and skin irritation. 

Final note: the cleanser you choose will depend entirely on your skin type, concerns and the rest of your routine. 

However, you don’t want to be using anything that leaves your skin feeling "squeaky" clean. While the feeling is semi-addictive, that is an indicator that the cleanser you are using is stripping your skin. Your skin should always feel hydrated and balanced post-cleansing.

Nécessaire lives through a desire to create effective products for the body using the same ingredients and technology afforded to facial skin care. 

With each item in their collection carefully crafted with clean, high-quality ingredients, Nécessaire firmly centres around the idea that personal care means more than just body wash and body lotion.

“Nick came from the world of editorial, I came from products, and we both had sort of landed in Los Angeles. We were drinking green juices, green matcha, everything LA, and we were obsessed with skincare,” co-founder Randi Christiansen recalls when asked about starting Necessaire with business partner Nick Axelrod, “and we were like: you know, there’s nothing for the body. Skin doesn’t stop at the neck.”

The attitude of simplicity and sticking to what is what is needed without adding any non-essentials tracks through the entire brand, which is all about swerving the superfluous, and focusing on what is indeed “necessary” in body care. “I like this idea of Nécessaire – the necessary – being a filter for everything we do. Is this product necessary? Is this ingredient necessary? Is the time we’re taking from our client necessary?” Christiansen says. “It’s become a backbone for the brand.”
