[Personal] In Defense of Physical Exfoliation

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Physical exfoliation gets a lot of hate on this sub, and I feel like a lot of it is unwarranted. Yes, super harsh scrubs used frequently are going to be drying and irritating. But there are a lot of gentler options out there, that can offer benefits that chemical exfoliants can't. It seems like a case of walnut shells ruining physical exfoliants for all the good products out there...I have dry, dehydrated skin, and have had to completely cut chemical exfoliation out of my routine. It's been mostly good, but I had a lot of dullness and uneven texture on my chin. I started using my Skinfood Strawberry Black Sugar Scrub about once a week, and it's made such a difference. I'm a bit glowier, my chin looks less rough, and it hasn't dried me out like chemical exfoliants do (I feel like the oil in the scrub has actually had a moisturizing effect). So I'm officially a fan of physical exfoliants, and wanted to give them a little love on this sub.Are you pro- or anti- physical exfoliation? If you like physical exfoliants, what are your favorite products/methods?
