  intro: "The choice between a scrub and an acid is not about preference. It is about what the skin is doing, where, and how often. A sugar scrub on damp shins once a week is a completely different conversation from a lactic acid lotion on dry upper arms every other night. Neither is universally superior. What matters is matching the tool to the surface, the cadence to the barrier, and the intensity to what the skin can actually use. Below is everything we've published on making that call — including when the answer is neither.",

    body: "Physical exfoliation uses friction — a scrub, a mitt, a washcloth — to dislodge and sweep away dead surface cells mechanically. Chemical exfoliation uses acids or enzymes to loosen the bonds between those cells so they shed on their own. The outcome can look similar, but the mechanism, timing, and suitable zones differ significantly. Neither is better. Both can be overdone.",

  myths: [
    { m: "Acids are gentler than scrubs.",
