Remember when everyone used those harsh apricot scrubs?

Switched to a gentle enzyme peel 2 years ago and my clients' redness dropped by half. Anyone still using physical exfoliants on sensitive skin?

Oh man, it's like that thing where everyone finally realized we were all in an abusive relationship with our own faces, isn't it? I feel like this whole thread is a bigger pattern of how we're finally learning to stop punishing ourselves for normal stuff in everyday life.

Used to think you needed that gritty scrub feel to get clean skin. My own face would get so angry and tight after using those apricot scrubs. Switched to a chemical exfoliant last year and the little bumps on my forehead just smoothed out without any burning. It felt like my skin could finally just calm down.

Which chemical exfoliant did you switch to, @paigep85?

My mom used those apricot scrubs for twenty years and swore by them. I can't believe @knight.dylan is asking about this now, it feels like we all just woke up from a bad dream.
