Exfoliate 2x Per Week for Smoother Skin

The Problem

Your skin looks dull and feels rough. Products don't seem to absorb well.

The Hack

Exfoliate 2-3 times per week (not daily) with a gentle chemical exfoliant (salicylic acid or glycolic acid) or a soft physical scrub. Apply after cleansing.

Why It Works

Dead skin cells accumulate on the surface, creating dullness and blocking product absorption. Exfoliation removes this layer, improving texture, brightness, and the effectiveness of all other skincare products.

Pro Tips

• Chemical exfoliants (BHA/AHA) are gentler than physical scrubs
• The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner: $9, excellent
• 2-3 times per week max — over-exfoliation damages skin
• Always follow with moisturizer
