[Acne] Physical Exfoliation

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Happy Friday! Just a note about physical exfoliation. I typically see a lot on chemical exfoliation here at SCA, which I fully back, and have introduced into my routine. However, even with a solid and consistent routine I was still getting a fair amount of pustule and occasional cystic bumps on my cheeks. I had a lot of redness and it was bothering me. So even though it seemed kinda like a BS product I picked up a konjac sponge at Target. Obviously might not work for everyone, but over the past 2 weeks it's really calmed down my cheeks. I still have a nasty here and there but for me it seems to be a good addition. I tend to be a bit oily and I think that some of my dead skin would clog up my pores on my cheeks, and the light exfoliation from the sponge in the AM/PM helps to shed those skin cells. I don't get much acne on my chin, jaw, or forehead - it's really just localized on my cheekbones (maybe a bit of rosecea as well). If you're having similar problems maybe give it a shot? Just a lil anecdote for your Friday.
