If you’re like most people, you’ve probably been using a physical scrub, such as Garnier or Neutrogena apricot scrub, to achieve a brighter, more even complexion. After all, that’s what we’ve been told to do by TV and magazine ads featuring fresh-faced young girls. However, just as we now know that smoking and tanning without sunscreen can accelerate aging and cause cancer, we also know that mechanical scrubs do more harm than good to your skin.
These scrubs don’t “scrub out your pores.” Instead, they cause micro-injuries in your skin that exacerbate inflammation and provide a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. This can be especially problematic if you have acne or inflammatory skin conditions like eczema or rosacea.
There are milder and more beneficial alternatives available that offer the same supposed benefits of scrubs without the unnecessary skin trauma. Enzymes and acids, for example, can provide gentle exfoliation without damaging your skin.
At our clinic, we offer a range of products from No Face, Medik8, and Synergie Skin that use enzymes and acids to exfoliate your skin gently. So if you’re looking for a way to achieve a brighter, more even complexion without harming your skin, come and check out our selection of products.
Say goodbye to harsh scrubs and hello to gentle exfoliation with our range of enzyme and acid-based products. Your skin will thank you for it!
