Exfoliation Explained.

Did you know there's more than one type of exfoliation? And what can exfoliating actually do for your skin?

Amy and Michelle break down the pros and cons of different forms of exfoliation including physical exfoliation, chemical exfoliation and enzymatic exfoliation. Plus, is there such a thing as too much exfoliation? And how much are your exfoliators meant to tingle? We bust these common exfoliating myths.

And in our Best in Class segment, we take you through the best exfoliating products for your skin type and skill level.
