“A clean face does not always mean a clear skin.” This statement may sound unnatural to you but the fact is that a clean face means a face free from dirt and oil, whereas a clear skin means healthy skin that comes from a healthy diet, and lifestyle.
You can wash your face two times a day but still feel the uneven texture even though it seems clear. Dead skin buildup with oil and dirt accumulated over the skin’s surface may be one of the prominent reasons. This is where face exfoliation can help.
Exfoliation is not only removing the buildup harshly, but choosing the product that suits your skin. From physical scrubs and chemical exfoliants to enzyme-based formulas, different exfoliators work in different ways. Dermabay’s papain-based enzyme face exfoliator takes a gentler approach to this process without causing any irritation.
What is Face Exfoliator
A face exfoliator is one such product that can help remove surface buildup and improve your skin appearance and feel. It makes it smoother, brighter and clearer. Traditional scrub can be harsh on your skin, whereas fruit and enzyme based exfoliators work gently on your skin.
Chemical exfoliators include alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). Enzyme exfoliators include enzymes to loosen dead skin cells' bonds. Dermabay’s papain-based enzyme face exfoliator is one of those effective skincare products that helps in getting clear and clean skin.

Skin experts suggest that a product should not be overused, but used in the proper way. Let’s learn the type of skin exfoliator.
Type of Face Exfoliator Is Right for You
A single type of product does not work the same for everyone. Your skin type, concern and sensitivity play an important role while choosing the right skincare product for you.
When it comes to choosing a face exfoliator, there are traditional scrubs, chemical peeling solutions and enzyme scrubs.
Traditional Scrubs
These contain particles that remove surface dirt and oil. They may be harsh for sensitive skin.
Chemical Exfoliators
AHAs such as glycolic or lactic acid and BHAs such as salicylic acid work differently from traditional scrubs. They can be useful for specific skin concerns and need to be started gradually as per the skin's needs.
Enzyme Exfoliators
Enzymes such as papain are commonly used in exfoliating products to break down dead skin cell buildup.
Dermabay offers an AHA enzyme exfoliating scrub, gentle on the skin, and offers clear, brighter skin. It is well formulated and dermatologically tested. To know more about this, you can visit our blogs-
