⏱ 1 min read
Quick answer: How to choose a Korean exfoliator for dry skin — what the step actually does (Loosens dead surface cells so skin looks smoother and the rest of the routine absorbs more evenly), the texture that suits dry skin, and where it belongs in the routine.

What this step does: Loosens dead surface cells so skin looks smoother and the rest of the routine absorbs more evenly.

💡 Frequency beats strength. A mild acid twice a week for two months outperforms a strong one that forces you to stop after a fortnight.
