How to Properly Exfoliate
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
- Exfoliating you skin should be part of your skincare regimen. Exfoliation allows the dead skin cell layer to come off and allows fresher younger skin cells to replace the old ones. Exfoliation can either be mechanical (with the use of a scrub) or chemical ( with a natural acid like glycolic acid). This also signals to the skin cells deeper in the skin to increase celullar renewal. Its all about being "out with the old nd in with he new" as the dead skin cells that may have irregular distribution of pigment get debrided and replaced by skin cells with a more even skin tone. In addition, exfoliating removes dirt, make up and debris that sometimes cleansers alone cannot remove. Weather you exfoliate once a week or once a day, try and Incorporate this into your routine my beauties.

Could you please recommend a product that exfoliates that is affordable and available at our local markets? Thx so much. I love all your videos.
Another fantastic video, thank you for taking to time to really explain so well xxx
Thank you for such a detailed explanation of the importance of exfoliation! Great video!
Sophie Armstrong 😘😘😘
Your explanation was very clear, thank you.
Thanks, I appreciate your insight into healthy skin.
Thank you!!!! I totally understand that pigment explanation, yes it takes a little thinking and concentrating but I get it!!!! If you exfoliate regularly then the sleepy cells don’t have time to collect more pigment. I really love how you go into the science, you offer a different perspective than the other you tube derm and it is great 👍 you are all contributing to my wellness and my skincare learning journey
Thank Doctor K.
SpOild Artist love to hear!
Thanks for this information. I'm glad I found your channel so much great info.
Tracy Guenther 😘😘😘
Such a fantastic explanation thank you. I use differin almost daily or retinol. I also use facial wipes with extra micellar water to remove sunscreen and makeup before I use a hydrating cleanser. I find my skin sensitive and smooth, sometimes irritated. Since I have oily skin, I use a scrub with salicylic acid in the shower so I'm getting chemical and physical exfoliant 3 times a week. That seems to be really working well for reducing congestion, no more blackheads or acne, glowing skin, and it's convenient and cost-effective. I hope that that helps someone :-)
Great video - very informative. Have been using Biologique Recherche P50 as a chemical (acid) exfoliation daily and Clinicians Complex Microdermabrasion Cream as a manual exfoliant twice a week - works really well and helps with pigmentation. Love you channel and all the science behind your recommendation 👍😘
I think you explained this process very well! I am definitely going to up my exfoliation game. I just purchased The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA peeling solution. I have oily skin, with large pores and sebaceous hyperplasia. I am hoping this will help. Thanks for informative video!
Love the way we explain everything, thank you!!!
Skincare Lover 😘😘😘
Whew...looks like this gal needs to up her exfoliating game. Thank you for continuing to make videos chocked full of great anti-aging wisdom. Xoxo..
Wow, thank you for sharing all that information. Truly, you are wonderful for teaching us. I am 65 and I use a glycolic acid wash and Clarasonic brush every day in the shower. I alternate two products in the shower. I use a Peter Thomas Roth glycolic cleanser and an Elizabeth Grady glycolic cleanser. I follow the Peter Thomas Roth cleanser with a Health Food store rose water tonic then a Peter Thomas Roth glycolic exfoliating pad. After the Elizabeth Grady glycolic cleanser I use their polishing scrub in the shower, then I follow that with the rose water tonic. Depending on what I am doing that day, I either get dressed and use a sunscreen with make up or if I am staying in, I mask once a week or put on my night time serums and creams. (I usually shower in the afternoon, after I have gone to the gym and done a few errands... in case you were wondering. Thanks again.
Thank you for posting very informative video. I am currently dealing with acne. I have seen a few dermatologists from my country and their principles are quite different from what I read from Western practitioners. I will reall appreciate it if you could post a video regarding adult acne. I love the way you explain things and all the things you say make sense. Lots of love from the Philippines!
You are awesome! I appreciated you sharing this video! 😘
Thank you for yet another very informative video! I am learning lot about skin and skin care from you. Your knowledge and wonderful teachings have helped me in choosing better products and asking the right questions when I recently visited my dermatologist for fillers and botox.
Pilar Johnson so happy to hear!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about exfoliating the skin properly
Was waiting for this one, thanks!
Hannah Standen 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you. I am loving all this information.
Wow! Such good info. Thanks!!
great information to know. Thank you
Thank you so much for this informational video! Would you make a video about pre teens/teens and what their skincare needs are? 💞 Thx
gr8fulgirl7 yes coming up
Love your videos and the information you share. 2 questions, 1) can you use Retin-A and an AHA exfoliator on the same day? 2) what are growth factors and what are their purpose in skincare?
Jan Truszkowski yes! Would love her to talk about growth factors.
Jan Truszkowski yes you can use both. It’s too complicated to explain the science behind growth factors in the skin so to keep it simple it allows the cells to communicate effectively with one another and optimizes cellular renewal.
Thank you for responding!
Thanks great info I exfoliate once a wk I’ll start adding on
That was so interesting! Thank you for another great video. xx
Would love to know your thoughts on melasma. And your thoughts on xenoestrogens and melasma and is it true melasma gets better AFTER menopause? I am estrogen dominant so I have been researching this for a few years and taking a DIM supplement (Estroblock Pro by Dr Nick Delgado that completely got rid of my horrible cystic hormonal acne) but I notice when I take it regularly, my melasma lightens. 😁 I love to exfoliate but I usually avoid scrubs, since it seems to darken my melasma...then again blow drying my hair darkens it too. Grrr. I do love lactic acid, Vit C, retin-a and hydroquinone...and of course SPF. Now using Lytera, taking a lil break from hydroquinone. But if you have time sometime to give your thoughts on melasma, that would be awesome! I've had many different derms tell me completely different things. But you have the BEST info. Thanks so much!!!! 💜
Magnesium Crystals! From your Aug. 6th video..Awesome..Thank you, Dr. Kappel & Ladies (Commenting) 😊
This makes sense!! Great explanation, I can picture it. I'm happy to learn it's ok to exfoliate once a day! I thought once every couple of weeks was the rule. I use a product called good skin and my clarisonic mia. I use tretinoin 0.1% my dermatologist gave me! Love your videos!! I look forward to them. 🙂❤
Great info. Dr. I exfoliate each night and truly think it makes a difference in how my skin behaves.
Jessica Souza 💯💯💯
You exfoliate your body and your face?
I love to exfoliate and do it every day. I'm glad to hear you talk about mechanical exfoliating as I do that regularly. I hear a lot of people saying how bad it is for your skin, causing micro tears. Do you think that's an issue?
Is it best to apply your body lotion immediately after the shower onto wet skin to lock in the moisture?
I’m so glad you gave the thumbs up to daily exfoliating. I love doing it and my skin looks great but I’ve recently heard that it can ruin your moisture barrier and cause inflammation. I was afraid that I might be doing more harm than good but you made me feel better! ♥️
Ju Du perfect example of why you should site your sources of information. Any board certified dermatologist will say that is simply untrue and wrong! These beauty bloggers who do not have the appropriate background and education make statements like this and mess everyone up. Don’t listen to them my beauties. Would you let someone who’s not an Obgyn deliver your baby? My point exactly.
@@DrStefaniKappel I have heard a lot of dermatologist that say that, for example here on youtube dr. Dray or dr. Sam Bunting
💋💋💋 Thank you so much for yet another fabulous skincare vid!!!! I have exfoliated multiple times a week for many years now. My skin looks kinda gray & dull if I don't exfoliate at least every day or two. So glad to know I'm not the only one and that it's actually a good thing to do it that often. What are your thoughts on microdermabrasion as a form of exfoliation weekly or monthly? Keep doing what your doing!!!! 🤗😘🤗😘 So in love with your channel & posts! 💋💋💋
P.S. Content idea....... Adult acne, cystic acne and how to treat it & heal it as quickly as possible. My skin has been better since really focusing on it but I still have what seem like certain problem pores! 😏🙄 Is that even a thing? Because it seems like I have certain pores that flare up over & over!!!! 😤😡
asullivan114 perfect! Microdermabrasion isn’t my favorite as it can make the pores look bigger. Think of them as triangles so when you microderm the tip of the triangle off the opening looks bigger. Hydra facial is a better option than the old skool microderm technique
Hi what do you think of the pixi toners, can they be used with all skin care?
Hi Stef I have been very interested watching you treat loose neck skin with Thermage. Unfortunately where I live in Christchurch, New Zealand I haven't been able to find any practices that offer this and most of the clinics that advertise 'radio frequency' tightening are performed by nurses or clinicians not doctors. Would I get the same results from a radio frequency course of treatments. Thanks
Do you suggest the same exfoliating routine for some with Rosacea? What are the most gentle, but effective options available in terms of exfoliating? I’m sensitive. Thank you. I look forward to all of your posts. They are so so informative.
Glycolic causes PIH for me. Lactic and mandelic work best for me :)) Great video!!
What is PHI?
@@balbinaverynicepinkskirtga2654 post-inflammation hyperpigmentation
Do you recommend derma planing, Doctor?
Please dr. Kappel what do you think about Venus viva skin resurfacing?
Oh noes I had heard that too frequent of exfoliation was overkill and detrimental to your skin and now I've been missing out on giving myself the best possible self care, shoot. So even if you use retin-A, it would be an extra benefit to build up to a daily scrub or glycolic treatment? I had thought once dead skin cells were exfoliated they wouldn't grow back by the next day, but I see now that it's also about cleaning debris off of the surface and out of pores
Your videos are so impressive and informative. Thank you! What are your thoughts on Clarisonic for mechanical exfoliation? Thank you!!!
Thank you for your clear explanation of exfoliation. What do you recommend for your beauties in their 60s who have very dry skin?
joni4taz I live exfoliation accelerator by @zoskinhealth bc it is a 10% glycolic acid and helps remove brown spots too. I’ll get back to the rest of the comments after work today I promise! I’m in surgery right now 😘
Love your videos! Should you exfoliate and use retinol at the same time.
I don’t get it. Why are so many dermatologists against scrubs???
You had me at melasma & uneven/lackluster skin! It was like you were speaking to me. Question: does Azaleic acid count as an exfoliant? Also, is it okay to physically exfoliate if you have some small broken capillaries? Thank you so much! 💖 these videos are immensely helpful 😘🥰 Oh, and also, is alcohol in medical grade skincare particularly harmful (can’t remember if you addressed this in previous videos/IGTV videos)?
She mentioned that product but didn’t link it. Thanks?
Great video! I enjoy your chanel a lot! In your opinion why is there a difference between sleeping with makeup on ( that would be around 8h) and wearing it on your face for 16h? Why do dermatologists emphasise on taking makup off at nighttime but it is ok to wear it during the day? What do you mean by "letting your skin breath"? Maybe you could do a future video of pros and cons of physical vs chemical/enzyme exfoliation.
Madalina Nastase great question! It’s important to have about an 8 hour period for your skin to be open to the outside external environment. Do if this happens pens day or night doesn’t really matter. Allowing it to breathe means that the natural process of exerting sweat, sebum and dead skin cells is not blocked by a blanket of makeup over it. Make sense?
Great video; very informative. Do you have a list of over the counter products that you would recommend for "mechanical exfoliation"?
Karen Smith I’ll post that soon promise!
Hello Dr. Kappel! I love your channel :) My question is can you use baking soda mixed into your cream cleanser as mechanical exfoliation?
I would love to know!
I did it twice and loved it but I have to know for sure is it good for my skin 🙏
Would you suggest dry brushing? Claims to increase circulation, exfoliate etc.
Can you please tell me what the two products you named for exfoliating your body? I have extremely dry body skin. I’ve tried everything and haven’t found anything that works. And do you use them daily just like your facial exfoliation?
And thank you for taking the time to share all of your knowledge with us. I’ve learned so much from watching your utube channel and following you on Instagram. I’m always super excited to see your post.
Cinde Davis The exfoliating body lotion was Amlactin which has ammonium lactate. It’s also fragrance free 😊 You can buy at CVS.
Yes! Ty! And agree!
Love it😘
Love your videos thank you! My questions is for body - does the same logic apply for body skin? How often to exfoliate and what type of cleanser ingredients to look for? Thanks!
Amanda Sharif Yes but I wouldn’t spend a lot on scrubs for the body. You can even use a DIY like sugar and honey scrub and for chemical exfoliation for the body I’d recommend AMLactin from the drugstore that doesn’t have to cost $$$
Which exfoliating polish do you recommend? I’m using Epionce products (including Lytic lotion). I’m thinking I should scale back the Lytic to once per day since with twice per day I’m experiencing some light peeling.
Btw it’s not fair that you are so beautiful AND smart!!! I’m learning a ton from you, thank you!! Xo
Dr. Kappel, I'm a new sub n so happy to have found ur channel. It's so helpful for someone like me, 53 struggling w/menopause n finding ways to help combat aging. My ? I have is it ok to do 10% GA daily n 20% weekly or how often? Also, will exfoliating help with sagging skin? It feels like my skin has fallen 2in. since meno😳, thanks again for ur time n knowledge
I started using the Neutrogena Grapefruit 2% Salicylic acid face wash for the past few days and for my oily forehead it is looking great. I feel like its really helped reduce the oil on my forehead, but I am getting dry flaky spots on the corners of my nose, on my chin, and around my mouth. Is this because the wash is too harsh for me or is my skin just not used to it yet? I do moisturize with the Neutrogena hydro boost moisturizer after the wash
Dr. What are your thoughts on Trusculpt for wobbly neck area, and back fat. I am 66 years young :)
Dr kappell,
For someone who usually breaks out from sebaceous gland stimulation would you recommend the zo obagi exfoliating Cleanser, scrub + oil control pads?
Yes 💯
Do you exfoliate and wash neck and décolleté twice a day as well?
Just a little confused what to do with those areas bc I recently learned from you that they are a different kind of skin. now I’m lost on what to do with neck and décolleté 🤷🏼♀️
I’m thinking about purchasing the Alastin regenerating skin nectar that I see in a lot of your videos. Do you also use the Alastin regenerating retinol? Would both of these products be good for aging skin? And can I apply these products under my eyes and on my neck as well or just my face? Thanks!!
Great video! Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I didn’t know u could do this everyday! Steph when U can will u link the products you recommend please. Love your videos 💕💕💕
Robbie Curbo thank you!
Can you list the products ? Thank you!!
Barbara Kielus I’m more about educating and not listing/selling products
Stef, what over the counter exfoliants would you recommend for the face and the body? Im trying so hard to take care of my skin now that my boys are older and i have more time to myself.
Can you use AHA's or retin A on the neck and around the eyes? Thank you.
Margarita B yes but very carefully...like only one a week and only a pea sized amt
👏🏻
Can a 14 year old boy with acne use the complexion pads that you always talk about or would they be to harsh for his skin?
How old are you? Also, what are your thoughts on the magnetic eyeliner? It looks so much easier than the regular false lashes, but I'm just a little cautious as to possible side effects.
I use kojic acid soap three times a week face and body it's just adding the foam to your skin and wait one min, no scrubbing just rinse off its helped get rid of some sun damage too and for me rubbing the skin to exfoliate with product is to aggressive 😍
Which brand of kojic do you use?
@@kaystary kojie san
@@michelles2299 thanks!
Love!
Do you recommend the mechanical exfoliation products you just mentioned for dry skin?
Yes I like the exfoliating polish by @zoskinhealth for mechanical exfoliation
Balbina very nice pink skirt Garcia and it’s fine fir dry skin but I’d use it once a week instead of once a day
I need a derm like you...but I live too far.....you know anyone in westlake Village area you would recommend......
So sorry babe I don’t 🥺
@@DrStefaniKappel doctor what you recommend me to exfoliate my sensitive face? Please reply.and also the sugar with honey for body exfoliation how often I have to do it? Please
I heard mechanical exfoliation like sugars and coffee is bad and causes micro tears? Is this true doc? but gentle scrubs like rice flour is okay. And is using a scrub everyday bad for the skin in the long the run?
Should you use Tretinoin and exfoliate with another product?
Can you link the acid you were talking about for the body...not familiar with them?
Renee Ezell She said to use ammonium lactate which is an ingredient in the brand Amlactin. It’s also fragrance free. You can buy it at CVS.
Thank you
Love you guys help each other. You got it!
Love your videos I have a 12-year-old son that is starting to break out and I was wondering is it OK to use a Chemical exfoliate on him And if so what would be a good option because I see him breaking out but he also has sensitive skin
I would say yes, but I would use a cleanser with salicylic acid in it you can leave it on the skin for a minute or so then rinse it off. That way it won't aggravate sensitive skin because you're washing it off. It will be on long enough for it to be effective 👍
Funny. My mom has never ever exfoliated her skin and she has skin like a baby at the age of 70. In fact, all she ever did and still does is "wash" her face just with some drugstore toner (?) and use a moisturizer. I on the other hand have to exfoliate or I have a dinosaur face :(
Can you please tell me the name of the products your mom use please
So if I’m using retin-a, I DONT need an additional exfoliating step in my regime?
What if i have Perioral dermatitis ? Do I still need to exfoliate?
Is it true that strong exfoliation can cause inflammation and inflammation promotes the ageing process?
Shalini.K Beauty the opposite! So not true. Don’t listen to these people and influencers who do not know skin biology or have appropriate education
Youngr by Stefani Kappel MD thank u doll :-))
Youngr by Stefani Kappel MD but my skin is sensitive and becomes so irritated and blotchy from strong chemical exfoliates. My skin will literally be an oil slick, right, red and comes up in tiny whiteheads. What can I do???
@@karlachappo5397 I also have the same issue (altho I have combo skin). But I only face this problem when I use glycolic or salycilic. Try using Mandelic acid only; its life saver. I like the one that is made by Vivant :))
Shalini.K Beauty Mandelic did the same thing unfotunately
Does using Retin A take the place of exfoliating?
This is my question too. Does Retin A take the place or is it done in addition to the manual/chemical exfolliation in the evening?
No retinA plays a different role.
Weird question and not exactly sure how to explain it. But, I have always hated how the area above my lips look "too puffy" I guess this would be my nasal nasolabial folds. Except the area sticks on my face instead more sunk in? like on your face or a normal face. Do you know what fixes this?
Violet Polack usually carefully placed filler like vollure
Thank you for the video! If you could only pick one would you recommend someone getting the exfoliation accelerator or the complexion renewal pads by @zoskinhealth?
Sarah Kay Pad’s. Definitely the pads. They’ll change your life lol. Cut them in half to make them last longer 😉
When is the best time to exfoliate in morning or night time?
Mai Nguyen either is fine. Whichever works best with your schedule
Please put some suggestions of things to buy , and where 👍❤️
+Cheri Norris follow me on insta and look at my skincare highlight. I post on stories everyday @stefanikappelmd
I noticed she doesn’t really answer questions. I’ve unsubscribed
+Vialamesa I’m seeing patients and performing procedures throughout the day. I do these videos because I love to teach and share information. But I simply cannot get to the hundreds of comments and questions I get on social media every day. My apologies.
Just recently discovered you. Love your channel! I use 10% lactic acid 2 times a day and I use .1% Retin A daily at night. I have no problems with peeling, sensitivity etc. However, when I use a 25% glycolic, such as Drunk Elephant Baby Facial one time for 10 minutes I get super dry and flaky. Why would that be and is that the goal?
InTheMiddle I’d stay away from drunk elephant but the regimen you described is good. You may stop peeling and that’s ok. It’s like going to the gym and not getting sore as you become more fit
Youngr by Stefani Kappel MD 😊 thank you
Hello Dr I am 17 year old Indian girl .. I don't have any kind of problem on my face and no allergies nothing but I have some tanning on my face ... and few days ago I have started my skin care routine... and i dont apply sunscreen ... but dove facewash toner and moisturiser... I don't know am I doing it right to keep my skin healthy and glowing ... can you please give me any suggestions regarding my skin care
Nidhi Vishwakarma aw babe you gotta use sunscreen and dove is not the best. I’d have to see you and assess you to recommend any particular products as each individuals skin is different
@@DrStefaniKappel thank you Dr for your precious reply , from now onwards I definitely gonna add sunscreen in my daily skin care .
Any recommendations for exfoliating the tougher skin on the feet?
Hi! So I’m on accutane right now, 30mg and am wondering what products you reccomend. My skin is really dry so I need a good moisturizer but don’t want to clog my pores. I also have a lot of dead akin that needs to be exfoliated but I can’t be too harsh with it. Thank you doc!! 💕😘
Cristin you need a hydration like daily power defense, a lasting skin nectar or Sente dermal repair cream
