● Physical exfoliant: Contains small granules that remove dead skin when massaged into the skin, providing immediate smoothness, but is not recommended for sensitive skin as it may cause scratches or irritation.

● Natural scrub: It consists of simple ingredients such as honey or oats and can be prepared at home. It gives a smooth result with regular use and is safe for most skin types.

How to choose the right exfoliator

Now that we've learned about the best facial scrubs, we offer you a simple guide to help you choose the right scrub according to your skin type and needs:

1- Oily and combination skin

This skin type produces excess oil and is prone to blackheads and pimples. Therefore, it is preferable to use a chemical exfoliant containing salicylic acid (BHA), which penetrates the pores and cleanses them deeply. A gentle physical exfoliant can also be used once or twice a week, provided that it is not harsh on the skin.

2- Dry skin

This skin type needs gentle exfoliation that does not cause further dryness or cracking. Chemical exfoliants containing glycolic acid (AHA) or enzyme exfoliants are an excellent choice because they gently remove dead skin and stimulate cell renewal without rubbing. It is essential to moisturize the skin well after exfoliation.

3- Sensitive skin

It is preferable to avoid exfoliants that contain coarse granules or strong acids, and to rely on natural enzyme exfoliants, as they give effective results without irritation or redness. Choose products with a gentle formula that are free of perfumes or alcohol.

4- Normal skin

This skin type is flexible in dealing with most types of exfoliants. A gentle physical exfoliant or a mild chemical exfoliant can be used as desired. It is preferable to vary the types while maintaining balance and not exaggerating the number of times of use.

5- Skin suffering from pigmentation or acne scars

In this case, it is beneficial to use chemical exfoliants containing alpha hydroxy acids, such as lactic or glycolic acid, as they work to exfoliate the surface layers of the skin and even out the color with continued use. Sunscreen should be used daily for protection after exfoliation.

Why should you exfoliate your face?

Facial scrubs are essential skincare products that should be included in your routine, due to their numerous benefits, which are as follows:

● It removes dead cells and cleanses pores: The layer of dead skin accumulates and clogs pores, leading to dull skin, and often causing the appearance of blackheads or whiteheads, as exfoliation opens the pores and makes the skin clear.

● Makes skin smooth and glowing: After the manual removal of dead skin, new, smoother skin appears with a silky texture and the face is instantly illuminated.

● Allows for better absorption of products: Moisturizers and vitamins do not penetrate the layers of dead skin, and after exfoliation, the skin absorbs these products more effectively.

● Reduces pimples and shrinks pores: Cleanses pores of oils, helps reduce blackheads and pimples, and prevents their reappearance.

● Fights signs of aging and boosts collagen: It stimulates the natural cell renewal process that slows down with age, reducing fine lines and increasing skin elasticity by boosting collagen production.

● Evens skin tone: Helps get rid of dark spots and acne scars, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion.

Tips for getting the best results when using a facial scrub

Here are some important tips to get the best results when using a facial scrub, to ensure high effectiveness without causing irritation or dryness:

● Choose the right exfoliator for your skin type: Use a gentle, fragrance-free exfoliator for sensitive skin, a salicylic acid exfoliator for oily skin, or a lactic acid exfoliator for dry skin.

● Cleanse your face thoroughly before exfoliating: You should cleanse your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and makeup; this helps the exfoliator to work more effectively.

● Do not overdo it with the number of uses: It is preferable to use the scrub twice a week; this is sufficient for most skin types; excessive exfoliation may lead to dryness, redness, or skin irritation.

● Massage gently without vigorous rubbing: Whether the exfoliator is physical or chemical, use it with light circular motions to avoid damaging the skin.

● Rinse with lukewarm water, not hot: hot water may cause skin irritation after exfoliation, while lukewarm water maintains its natural balance.

● Moisturize your skin immediately after exfoliation: Use a rich moisturizer to soothe the skin and replenish lost moisture.

● Avoid direct sun exposure after exfoliation: The skin becomes more sensitive after exfoliation, so whether you are using an exfoliating mask or a facial scrub, you should use sunscreen with a protection factor of at least +30 when going out.

● Avoid harsh products after exfoliation: Avoid using products containing retinol, vitamin C, or other acids immediately after exfoliation to avoid skin irritation.
