What is a face scrub?

A face scrub is a skincare product designed to exfoliate the surface of your skin. It typically contains small granules or natural exfoliants, such as Dead Sea salt or finely ground apricot extract, that may help to remove dead skin cells and impurities. 

Unlike chemical exfoliants, which typically rely on acids to dissolve dead cells, face scrubs offer a more physical approach to exfoliation, which may help you achieve smoother-looking skin.

What are the benefits of using a face scrub?

Using a face scrub as part of your skincare routine may offer some benefits. By gently removing dead skin cells, a face scrub may assist in unclogging pores, which might help reduce the visibility of blemishes. Regular exfoliation with a facial scrub may also contribute to smoother-looking skin texture. 

Some facial scrubs contain ingredients like charcoal, which may help to draw out impurities, while hydrating agents such as aloe vera and almond oil may provide additional nourishment during exfoliation. This combination of ingredients may support a refreshed and radiant-looking complexion.

How often should you use a face scrub?

The frequency of using a face scrub can vary based on your skin type and the product’s formulation. For many, exfoliating 1-3 times per week may be appropriate. Those with sensitive skin might prefer a gentle scrub used less often, while individuals with oily or combination skin may find more frequent use suitable. It’s essential to monitor how your skin responds and adjust your routine accordingly to avoid irritation. If you’re unsure, consult a healthcare professional to find the best face scrub and routine for your skin type.

What is the difference between a face scrub and an exfoliant?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are differences between face scrubs and chemical exfoliants. A face scrub is a physical exfoliant that uses small particles to manually remove dead skin cells. In contrast, chemical exfoliants use ingredients like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) that may dissolve dead skin cells without the need for scrubbing​. 

Finding the best face scrub for you depends on your skin type and personal preference. We recommend consulting your healthcare professional for advice on which option will suit your skin type.
