GOOD HOUSEKEEPING - November 2012
Q: WILL SCRUBBING SOFTEN THE LOOK OF FINE LINES?
A: On the contrary—too much exfoliating can lead to skin damage and dryness, which paradoxically makes fine lines look more pronounced. But sloughing can preserve skin’s glow and help improve the penetration of anti-aging treatments, says Dr. Waldorf. The key is to stick with a gentle daily exfoliator (check labels) or a once-a-week scrub. “If your skin is very sensitive, consider opting for a chemical exfoliant, like a moisturizing was with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which is gentler than a scrub,” she says. Try M-61 Brilliant Cleanse.
