Tips for using exfoliating scrubs
There’s nothing quite as indulgent as treating yourself to a good body or face scrub at home. Here’s what you need to know.
What are the benefits of using scrubs?
Face and body scrubs can:
-
remove dead skin cells and impurities
-
create a more even skin surface
-
help reduce blemishes and scarring
-
clear the pores and improve radiance and skin elasticity
-
reduce stress
Can you use face scrub on any skin type?
Yes. Face scrubs are available for dry, oily and combination skin types.
If your skin is prone to rashes or breakouts, opt for a scrub specially made for sensitive skin. Ingredients such as coconut, aloe and honey can have a soothing effect.
Are scrubs good for your face?
The benefits of face scrubs are numerous. Exfoliating removes the top layer of dead skin, making the face appear healthier and more radiant. It cleanses pores, helps with acne and can reduce the appearance of blemishes.
Which natural face scrub is best?
The best face scrub will depend on your skin type and needs.
Scrubs that contain apricots purify and cleanse the pores. Ingredients such as ginseng and milk are good for reducing pigmentation. Using an organic coconut oil for face scrub nourishes the skin and may help to fade scars.
Do research to find a solution that suits your skin.
How to use face scrub
To use an exfoliating facial scrub,
-
tie your hair back and wash your face
-
dab teaspoon-sized amounts of face scrub on both cheeks
-
rub the scrub in gentle, circular motions over the face, avoiding the lips and soft skin around the eyes (don’t apply too much pressure – the grains in the scrub should do most of the work)
-
rinse with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel
Follow by applying a suitable moisturiser.
