When it comes to skin conditions like acne, dry skin and large pores, using a scrub it the LAST thing you want to be using. Physical exfoliation (like a scrub) can cause unwanted irritation to the skin, micro-tears, the spread of bacteria and accentuate large pores. Solution? Use a chemical exfoliant instead. A product containing exfoliating ingredients like glycolic, lactic, mandelic, azelaic acid (to name a few few) break down dead skin cells without physically scrubbing them off.
