Exfoliate is must!
After all, do you know why you need to exfoliate your skin? Exfoliation promotes cell renewal, removes dead cells from the most superficial layer of the skin and promotes better absorption of the applied creams.

Physical or chemical exfoliant?
When choosing the product to be used, you can find this question. The main difference is that the physicist has particles that rub against the skin, while the chemical does not need this friction, as it has a substance that acts on the surface layer of the skin, promoting peeling.
Choosing the right scrub depends a lot on your skin type.
