skin with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, SPF, sweat and
excess oils. Then use a water-based cleanser to eliminate other impurities

Exfoliators remove dead
skin cells and give you luminous skin. Exfoliating your skin, no more than
twice a week to buff away the dead skin cells but keep your skin’s natural
oils. There are two types of exfoliations: mechanical and chemical
exfoliations. Mechanical exfoliators use a physical ingredient to remove the
layer of skin cells, like scrubs. Chemical exfoliators use acids to improve or
increase the cell renewal cycle so that skin cells can be shed, such as
peeling.
