We don’t know who needs to hear this but…exfoliating is not supposed to hurt. We repeat exfoliating is not supposed to hurt.
We know, we know. The truth can be hard to hear.
But, we believe.
Scratch that, we know that there are better ways to improve your skin’s tone and texture as opposed to manipulating it unnecessarily.
So join us at Siiona as we ditch the scrubs, the rough beads, and the harmful facial tools and use natural and gentle solutions towards clearer skin.
Meet your new best friend – chemical exfoliant.
Chemical exfoliants are powerful but also protective. They help to transform the skin by turning over the dead skin cells that clog pores. And you’ve guessed it: no clogged pores = brighter skin. There are many types of chemical exfoliants that are gentle for the skin.
*The three types include…
- AHAs - AHA’s, alpha hydroxy acids, are chemicals exfoliants that rid of dead cells to gradually reveal brighter, smoother skin. They generally work best for most skin types.
- BHAs - BHAs, beta hydroxy acids, are best suited for exfoliating oily skin. This ingredient penetrates deep into the skin to help clean and unclog pores and hair follicles.
- PHAs - PHAs, poly hydroxy acids, are a type of chemical exfoliator that is often used for people that have particularly sensitive skin. These chemicals help to combat problem areas.
Looking for our recommendation when it comes to chemical exfoliants? Well, of course it’s the SiionaSmooth Skin Retinol & Lactic Exfoliating Serum.
Our serum is the prime example of a product that is smooth but sufficient enough to break through the skin’s layers in order to deliver results. And rapid results at that.
We'll be back soon with more products, tips, and ingredients we love – curated by your family at Siiona.
