Whether or not you can scrub daily depends on the type of scrub you're using and your skin type.
For physical scrubs:
- Avoid daily use of physical scrubs containing abrasive ingredients like walnut shells, apricot kernels, or those designed for dermabrasion. These can be too harsh for daily use and may irritate your skin.
- For mature skin, using a physical scrub twice a week can be beneficial. This is because the cell renewal process slows down with age, and scrubbing more frequently can help to stimulate it.
For chemical exfoliants:
- Chemical exfoliants can be used more frequently, potentially even daily. However, it's important to start with a lower frequency and gradually increase it as your skin tolerates it.
- Oily skin tends to tolerate chemical exfoliation better.
- Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Remember:
- Exfoliating too frequently can irritate and damage your skin.
- Always listen to your skin and adjust your exfoliation routine accordingly.
If you're unsure about how often to exfoliate, consult a dermatologist.
