SCRUB AS AN EXFOLIATE

Hi guys. So here are some answers to your questions about scrub as an exfoliant. Yeah.

So basically scrub are granules. Like when you hear scrub, what comes to your mind first is sugar or salt. Yes, sugar scrub. They are mechanical exfoliants that you have to exfoliate mechanically to get the effects.

Now, these kinds of scrubs are not really suitable for your face and also for your skin, I mean your body, if you have very sensitive skin. Because those kinds of scrub can actually create micro tears that you and I cannot see with our naked eyes. I actually prefer chemical exfoliants to physical scrub. Yes.

Please, for your face, do not use scrub on your face. If you must use scrub, okay maybe there’s a product that’s called scrub. It shouldn’t be sugar scrub or salt. It can be scrub that’s maybe like a cream scrub but then it contains very micro granules like jojoba beads.

Yeah, that’s fine to use jojoba beads, very gentle and it can actually be used by even sensitive skin.

So if you must use a scrub on your face, it should not contain sugar scrub, it should not contain sugar or scrub, jojoba beads is fine. jojoba beads can be used on the face that is very fine. Perfect.

Even if your skin is sensitive, you should be able to use it on your face. So you can leave your sugar, your salt scrub for your body. OK, let that stay on your body. But for your face you don’t need scrub.

You can do chemical exfoliants. I mean your toner, your exfoliating toners can actually work for that or there are some leave-on exfoliants now that we have for example, we have Azeloyl Glycine Serum at Soibibotanicals. That’s a very great exfoliant for you if you need a face exfoliant, it’s a very perfect exfoliant for all skin types, especially those with oily skin.

If you have rosacea, it’s perfect. It’s rosacea skin friendly. It’s a very good and gentle exfoliant that you can use in your routine. It does the job perfectly well.

So please, please, please now you know better. Do not use sugar or salt scrub on your face. Use it on your body if your body can tolerate that but for your face if you must use scrub it should be jojoba beads or chemical exfoliant.
