Frequently Asked Questions About Exfoliants
What is a clean facial exfoliant?
A clean facial exfoliant is formulated without harsh or irritating ingredients and is designed to gently remove dead skin cells, boost radiance, and support healthy skin without disrupting your barrier. Glo’s exfoliants are cruelty-free and thoughtfully crafted for effective, results-driven skincare.
How often should I exfoliate my face?
2–3 times a week is a general guideline. Those with sensitive skin may prefer once weekly, while oilier skin types may tolerate more frequent exfoliation. Always monitor your skin’s response.
What’s the difference between physical and chemical exfoliants?
Physical exfoliants use texture (like jojoba beads) to manually remove dead skin, while chemical exfoliants use ingredients like AHAs or BHAs to dissolve those cells without friction. Chemical options tend to be gentler and better for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.
Can I use a face exfoliant if I have acne?
Yes—but choose carefully. A chemical exfoliant with salicylic acid is often best for acne-prone skin. It clears pores and minimizes breakouts. Avoid abrasive scrubs that can aggravate blemishes.
Should I exfoliate in the morning or at night?
Exfoliating at night is often recommended since your skin regenerates while you sleep. This also gives your skin time to absorb post-exfoliation treatments like hydrating serums or overnight masks.
