Why shouldn't I use exfoliating scrubs with granules?
“I've been using them for years."
Those small beads are called buffer beads. They only remove loose dead skin cells sitting on
the surface of the skin.
They don't address what's happening deeper in the skin where many skin concerns begin.
Excessive scrubbing can damage your skin barrier, leading to increased water loss
(dehydration), sensitivity and irritation.
If you have oily or acne-prone skin, the friction from scrubbing can stimulate the sebaceous
glands to produce even more oil, making congestion and breakouts worse.
Professional exfoliants work more effectively by encouraging natural skin renewal without
unnecessary friction.
Healthy exfoliation isn't about scrubbing harder—it's about exfoliating smarter.
