For a radiant, healthy, glowing Skin, it is recommended to use exfoliating scrub at least once a week. Some gentle scrubs can be applied even more often, like twice a week or even daily.
Just like it is the case with other skincare products, the scrub should be chosen according to your skin type. Organic exfoliating face scrubs contain natural ingredients that are safe to be used even on acne-prone or very dry skin.
The botanical extracts in the formula are important sources of vitamins and antioxidants that can promote skin rejuvenation and skin cells renewal.
Scrubs often need to be applied on wet or at least damps skin. After the application, the recommendation is to massage the skin with the scrub to eliminate dead skin cells. The massage performed with the scrub is also great for blood circulation at the level of the face. After letting the scrub work for a few minutes (or longer), you should rinse the face with plenty of warm water.
