I have heard and read different things about exfoliation. Some say that AHA for dry skin is best and BHA is best for combination to oily skin. I also read that both AHA and BHA (alpha Hydroxy acids) give better results than using facial scrubs because they remove dead cells through chemical processes and penetrate the superficial layers of the skin. Cosmetic scrubs work only on the very outermost skin layers and can actually cause skin damage and tears in the skin if they are too coarse or uneaven in texture. That makes sense to me but then I heard that peptides are the new thing? What are peptides and how do they work to exfoliate your skin? What is the difference if any between peptides and copper peptides?

Once in a while it is good to exfoliate your skin and get rid of some of the dead skin; it makes your face feel smooth and soft. You should always scrub gently, circular motions work well, and avoid areas of skin that have sores or fresh acne. Although you should exfoliate every once in a while you shouldn |

You may use warm water and baking soda to help exfoliate your face.
Baking soda is also good in helping whiten your teeth - just don't use
too often - about twice a month on the teeth. Also, Milk Sugar Honey Extra Virgin Olive Oil It works great and leaves your skin smooth and glowing |

Lemon juice, also used in
acne treatment, can help remove blackheads. The nutrients and vitamins present
in lemon juice are good for all skin types. Make a facial scrub by mixing lemon
juice with salt, yogurt and honey. Gently scrub the affected area with this
natural exfoliating mixture. |
