How to Incorporate Exfoliation into Your Skincare Routine

Proper exfoliation is essential for healthy, radiant skin. Follow these simple steps to integrate our exfoliants into your daily or weekly routine, noting that the process differs depending on the type of exfoliant:

1. Cleanse First:

Always start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and oil before exfoliating.

2. Exfoliant Application:

For Physical Exfoliants (e.g., Vitamin C Scrub): Apply a small amount to your damp face, massaging it gently in circular motions. Avoid the delicate eye area.
For Chemical Exfoliants (which are left on the skin): Apply the product evenly over your entire face or targeted areas. Do not rinse this type of product off.

3. Rinse Thoroughly (for physical exfoliants only):

If you used a physical exfoliant (like the scrub), rinse your face with lukewarm water until all the product is removed. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.

4. Follow with Serums and Moisturizer:

After exfoliating, your skin is ready to absorb other products. Apply your favourite Vivier serums and finish with a moisturizer to hydrate and soothe your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an exfoliant do for your skin?

An exfoliant is a product designed to remove dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin. This process helps to unclog pores, prevent acne, improve skin texture, and promote a brighter, more even skin tone. Regular exfoliation can also boost the effectiveness of your other skincare products by allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin.

How often should I exfoliate my face?

The ideal frequency for exfoliation depends on your skin type and the specific product you're using. For most people, exfoliating 2-3 times per week is a good starting point. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to exfoliate less frequently, perhaps once a week, to avoid irritation. It's important to pay attention to how your skin responds and adjust as needed.

Can I use exfoliants with retinol or vitamin c?

Yes, but with caution. Exfoliation enhances the absorption of active ingredients like Vitamin C and retinol. While using exfoliants (chemical or physical) before Vitamin C can amplify your skin's radiance, combining exfoliants with retinol requires care to avoid over-exfoliation and irritation. It is generally recommended to alternate the days of use (e.g., exfoliant one evening, retinol the next evening) rather than applying them sequentially, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Are Vivier's exfoliants suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, Vivier offers a range of exfoliants that are suitable for sensitive skin. Products like the Illuminating Enzymatic Peel™ are formulated to be gentle yet effective, providing exfoliation without causing irritation. For sensitive skin, we recommend starting with a product specifically designed for your skin type and patch-testing before full application.

What is the difference between an enzymatic peel and a scrub?

The main difference lies in how they exfoliate. A scrub, or a physical exfoliant, uses small particles to manually slough off dead skin cells from the surface. An enzymatic peel, on the other hand, is a chemical exfoliant that uses fruit enzymes to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be gently washed away. Enzymatic peels are often a great choice for those with sensitive skin.

Should I use a chemical or a physical exfoliant?

The choice between a chemical and a physical exfoliant depends on your skin's needs and tolerance. Physical exfoliants (scrubs) are effective for immediate smoothness but can be too harsh for some skin types. Chemical exfoliants (like peels or creams with AHAs/BHAs) work by dissolving dead skin cells and are often recommended for addressing specific concerns like fine lines, acne, and hyperpigmentation.
