After cleansing, use in the skin, toner, or essence step. If used as toner, make sure the liquid is fully absorbed before applying next step skincare products. Recommend to use 2-3 times in a week, and gradually build up the usage according to the skin condition. You can also use Paula’s Choice directly on the face and eliminate the cotton pad. However, bear in mind that this method of application is going to make the product stronger 🙂 Reply Having tried, used, and liked both BHAs mentioned, several factors helped determine which one of these is a little bit better than the other, so this is what I will be talking about in this article. Chemical exfoliation involves using acids that help dissolve the glue between skin cells. This leads to the topmost dry, dull layers of the skin being shed off, allowing for newer, fresher layers of the skin to surface. The active ingredients are paired with a light, moisturizing, watery gel base that contains willow bark water, instead of plain mineral water to maximize exfoliating and clearing benefits without irritation.
My recommendation is to apply it directly on the face instead of applying it on a cotton pad first as this saves you from wasting more of the product. Scent Try to avoid using makeup around your eyes. Makeup tends to trap dirt and bacteria underneath your eye area. Step 2– Start by spreading a thin over your whole face and avoiding the eye area. You can also concentrate the gel on dead skin or areas of congestion like the forehead, chin and nose. If you are using a toner, wait for liquid to get absrob by the skin. Hi Simone, I’m glad I found your article as I’m debating which one to get right now. This is sooo useful, thank you so much! BHAs penetrate deeply into the pores and helps clear clogged pores and gently exfoliates dead skin cells, giving the skin its natural glow. BHAs are oil-soluble so they are able to penetrate through oil, natural and otherwise, to truly dissolve it and clean out clogged pores. They also have amazing anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.We sometimes get carried away with skin care products and we think that the more we apply – the more benefits we will receive, however, this is not a good way to go about any skincare product, and the BHA Liquid Exfoliant isn’t an exception. Salicylic acid is known to be drying for the skin. The addition of betaine makes it much gentler on the skin as betaine itself has skin-smoothing action. After cleansing, soak a cotton pad and swipe a thin layer of the Liquid over the skin, avoiding the eye area. Begin with using the product once a week, and after the skin has adapted to it, increase the usage up to 2 to 3 times a week. Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Water +Betaine Salicylate : Clears clogged pores & improves skin tone and texture I’ve seen pretty decent results with it and have gone through many bottles already, so I will definitely be repurchasing! Let me know down below if you decide to try it and if you enjoy it :)!
Begin using the product once a week and gradually increase usage to 2-3 times per week. The Bottom Line Betaine salicylate: This is the BHA, a derivative of sugar beets, which they use in a four percent concentration. According to the manufacturer ( Arch Personal Care Products), four percent betaine salicylate is equivalent to two percent salicylic acid (the concentration used by The Ordinary and Paula's Choicein their BHA formulas). I personally find betaine salicylate is equally effective, but less drying.
On the other hand, BHA is also known for not always being that suitable for dry skin types as it has the tendency to further dry the skin out. How to use BHA exfoliants for maximum effect? Willow bark water:Although willow bark contains salicylic acid, this is not the actual BHA, just the base for the product—rather than regular water. It has skin-soothing properties.
Sodium Hyaluronate is a type of salt that has chains of sodium and hyaluronic acid. It’s typically used in skincare products but can also be found in pharmaceuticals, food supplements, and cosmetics. Sodium hyaluronate is found in the human body, but it is also widely used in skincare products. The ingredient helps maintain our skin’s moisture levels by binding water molecules to an effective treatment for dry skin. 5. Panthenol As I already suggested in some of my past articles, you cannot go wrong with exfoliating your skin 2-3 times a week. I get so many questions if daily exfoliation is good for the skin but our skin really doesn’t need that much exfoliation and this can easily lead to potential irritation due to over-exfoliation.
It is important to be careful around the eyes and mouth. You can also pump a few drops onto a cotton pad instead of applying the product directly onto the face.
