Scrubbing your face once a week will show you visible effects on your skin overtime. But if you overdo it can easily damage your skin causing irritation. Here’s “How to scrub your face the correct way” :
- Choose the right product: Use a gentle exfoliating scrub specifically formulated for the face. Look for products with fine granules or chemical exfoliants like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs). Avoid harsh scrubs with large, jagged particles that can cause micro-tears in the skin.
- Damp your face: Damp your face with normal or lukewarm water before applying any scrub . This helps in smooth application of any scrub.
- Apply the scrub: Take a small amount scrub and start applying it gently to your face using circular motions. Focus on the areas which tend to release more oil than other parts like the T-zone of your face.
- Apply Gently: Don’t scrub with too much pressure on your skin. Apply very gently in circular motion and the job will be done.
- Rinse Properly: Scrub for about a minute and then rinse your face thoroughly.
- Moisturize: Exfoliation can sometimes lead to dry skin, so in order to hydrate your skin use a moisturizer.
If you follow these steps, and effectively exfoliate your skin 1 or 2 times a week you will get a clean and fresh face every time.
