Top 5 Chemical Exfoliators
Chemical Exfoliators, The Ish!
Sometimes a harsh, gritty scrub isn't always the answer to exfoliating. Chemical scrubs work magic too! Chemical exfoliators use acid ( think AHAs and BHAs, Salicylic acid, lactic acid, Glycolic acid). They may sound scary and harsh but they do quite the opposite. From clearing acne, improving texture, clearing fine lines and wrinkles, these chemical exfoliators will work wonders on your skin!
