What type of exfoliation is mechanical in nature?

Physical exfoliation refers to the process of removing dead skin cells using a mechanical method, which can involve scrubs, brushes, or other tools that physically slough away the outer layer of skin. This type of exfoliation is beneficial for improving skin texture, promoting circulation, and enhancing the absorption of skincare products. It primarily relies on the action of the physical particles or tools interacting with the skin's surface, making it distinct from other forms of exfoliation.

Chemical exfoliation, in contrast, involves the use of acids or other substances to dissolve dead skin cells without any physical action, while enzymatic exfoliation relies on enzymes to break down proteins in the dead skin cells. Biological exfoliation is not a widely recognized term in skincare, further distinguishing physical exfoliation as a straightforward, hands-on approach to skin renewal.
