In recent years
, skin care has become one of the most examined topics: millions of articles, interviews with experts, reels, stories and so on and so forth to explain in great detail what Gen Z calls the "Skincare Routine" . This is because to have flawless skin, both on the face and body,
you cannot neglect a correct Skincare Routine that includes several steps, one of which is the
exfoliation of the most superficial layer of the skin through scrubs.
Exfoliation should be a regular appointment if your goal is to have brighter, softer, younger-looking skin.
Enzymatic and mechanical scrub: the differences
The
scrub is a fundamental step in every Beauty Routine and completes the cleansing step by promoting the
removal of dead cells and
further impurities . There are
two different types of scrub :
enzymatic or
mechanical . In the
mechanical scrub there are
micro granules which, when applied to the skin with circular movements, are able - thanks to their "mechanical rubbing action" - to
eliminate dead skin cells . A real panacea that
promotes cell turnover, giving the skin a
new brightness and
softness . In the case of the
enzymatic scrub , the
exfoliation action is mediated by
specific enzymes capable of binding with the cells in the flaking phase
, promoting their elimination . The enzymes in question can be either
alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) or
beta hydroxy acids (BHA) and are mostly
of natural origin , they are in fact also known as "fruit acids". Their function is to carry out a
delicate scrub capable of exfoliating the skin and at the same time stimulating the production of new cells and collagen. Thanks to the exfoliating process,
they help reduce skin blemishes and
also have beneficial effects on acne .
Enzymatic and mechanical scrub: the functions
As we have just seen
, enzymatic and mechanical scrubs are not synonymous , but the
result in both cases is the same:
revitalizing dull, dry skin with an uneven complexion. Exfoliation through both enzymatic and mechanical scrubs is a necessary step to
oxygenate the tissues and
restore the brightness and softness to the skin which are progressively lost due to the passage of time, external and/or genetic factors. In fact, the cell regeneration process is a natural process that slows down over time and it is therefore necessary to stimulate it
to obtain younger and healthier-looking skin. Among these numerous benefits, the function of both types of scrubs in
facilitating the absorption of the active ingredients of subsequent treatments into the deeper layers of the epidermis cannot be overlooked.

Considering the importance of good exfoliation, SurgicTouch has formulated a new
2 in 1 smoothing and cleansing cream scrub. But let's go into detail. The
SILK 5 PEEL enzymatic and mechanical scrub combines the action of
5 acids with exfoliating properties (enzymatic action) with that of
vegetal micro granules (mechanical action) and is perfect for use
on both the face and body. Its creamy formula, more delicate and emollient, is
also ideal for the most sensitive skin and in general
for all thickened, dry skin that has partially lost its softness and elasticity. Last but not least: its
