You should use a face scrub 2-4 times a week, depending on your skin type and sensitivity.
Here's why:
- Exfoliation: Face scrubs remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin.
- Improved Product Absorption: By removing dead cells, scrubs help your skin absorb moisturizers and serums more effectively.
- Reduced Breakouts: Regular exfoliation can unclog pores, minimizing breakouts.
- Better Skin Texture: Face scrubs can help refine skin texture, making it feel softer and smoother.
Important Tips:
- Choose the Right Scrub: Opt for a scrub designed for your skin type (e.g., oily, dry, sensitive).
- Avoid Over-Exfoliating: Using a scrub too often can irritate your skin and cause dryness.
- Apply Gently: Massage the scrub in circular motions for 30-60 seconds. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Make sure to remove all traces of the scrub from your face.
- Follow with Moisturizer: Always apply a moisturizer after using a face scrub to keep your skin hydrated.
Best Time to Use a Face Scrub:
- Night-time: Night-time is ideal for exfoliating as your skin repairs and regenerates itself.
- Before Shaving: Using a face scrub before shaving helps to soften hairs and prevent ingrown hairs.
