Esthetician Student Tip:

The “best” exfoliation for you is dependent on your own personal skin type. remember that over-exfoliation can be damaging to the skin barrier.

• Sensitive skin → Either silicone scrubber

• Rough, textured skin → Wet body brush

• For ingrown hairs, sluggish skin → Dry brush
