Deeply Cleansing Facial Scrub

Do you dream of a soft skin without imperfection? Adopt, in addition to your face mask, a weekly scrub. After use only, you will see a clearer, clearer, fresher complexion. A short guide to choosing the right face scrub and to discover homemade scrub recipes.

THE BENEFITS OF A FACE SCRUB

A large majority of women wash their face daily, apply a day cream, or even a night cream. But the face scrub is often forgotten. Yet, a weekly or even twice weekly exfoliation works miracles. The first action of the face scrub is to remove impurities and dead cells from the surface of the epidermis. Result, the skin is smoother, more radiant and the complexion homogeneous. The facial scrub greatly promotes cell renewal.

THE THREE TYPES OF FACE SCRUB

There are three main types of facial scrubs on the market. Gumming with grains, called mechanical, operates an immediate, but superficial action. It is to be used on the face, but also on the body. It adapts to all skin types. The larger the grains, the more abrasive they are. On a dry skin, it is therefore preferable to apply a non-irritating fine-grained face scrub.

The gumming without grains, called chemical, carries out a deep and less rapid action. It is used only on the face and is recommended for imperfections or mature skin.

Peeling is a product that is applied in a thin layer on the face and then removed by a slow massage. Small pieces of skin fall then, carrying with them the dead cells and impurities.

GOOD GESTURES FOR EFFICIENT GUMPING

Some gestures can further enhance the benefits of face scrub. For spectacular effects, apply the product in a circular manner. The aim here is to promote blood circulation by reproducing its natural movement. But who says to erase does not say to strip! There is no use in insisting on rubbing. The result would be counterproductive since your skin barrier would find it hard to bear this aggression.

FREQUENCY OF USE OF FACE SCRUB

The type of skin will determine the frequency of the scrub. If there is no established rule, one tends to a scrub face one to two times a week in the case of thick skins and fat; once a week in the case of mixed and normal skin; once every fortnight for dehydrated skins; once a month in the case of sensitive and fine skin.
