Face scrub: 5 most common mistakes
Here's how to make the most of the many benefits of face exfoliation
August 2nd, 2021
The dream of radiant, fresh and healthy skin affects everyone. The facial beauty routine has more or less fixed steps depending on the type of skin we have and its needs. However, cleansing and hydration remain the fundamental steps, which must always be done, morning and evening; but the use of serums, masks, tonic and scrubs can also vary. In particular, the face scrub should be done at most once or twice a week - being careful to avoid the areas around the eyes - to help the skin eliminate impurities that accumulate during the day and remove dead cells. But how to best set up our facial exfoliation beauty routine? Here are the mistakes to avoid.
1. Overdo with rubbing
First of all, the scrub should be applied to moist and not dry skin. To apply it correctly, it is also important to make circular and rotational movements without applying too much pressure so as not to irritate the skin. Also, after rinsing, dry yourself off and sprinkle with moisturizer, as it dries the skin.
2. Do it before or after hair removal
Or rather, do it but with a little delay or advance. It is not advisable to "scrub" the skin at least 72 hours before or after hair removal because it would only make it more irritable.
3. Stop applying the scrub in summer
Do not think that it is an enemy of the tan on the contrary, the scrub favors it. If you tan in the right way (using protection and avoiding browning like a roast chicken in the hottest hours of the day) a gentle scrub will help make the complexion more even, without the unsightly stains.
4. Apply it on active acne or sensitive skin
Do not do the scrub if the skin is irritated or if you suffer from acne with papules and pustules because it will only increase the inflammation.
5. Use only one type of scrub
The scrub should be chosen based on the application and skin type. First it must be specific for the face, body and lips. Furthermore, every type of skin has its own need for nutrition and hydration, for this reason it is necessary to know how to orient and know the ideal cosmetic properties for an effective treatment and satisfactory results.
