Scrubbing or exfoliation involves removing dead skin cells, calluses, and rough patches from the skin, as well as eliminating superficial lines. Oily skin types often experience hardness and accumulation of dead cells. The buildup of dead cells on the skin usually leads to darkening and hardening of the skin. After scrubbing, superficial pimples, skin hardness, and calluses are often removed, leaving the skin feeling lighter. People who scrub their skin often feel a cooling and refreshing sensation on their face afterward.
Why should you use scrub creams (exfoliants)?
Removing horny layers and dead skin cells helps eliminate harmful bacteria, reduce pore size, and enhance the beauty and health of the skin. The methods used for this purpose include mechanical and chemical techniques.
In summer, with warm weather and excessive sweating, dead cells tend to accumulate more on the skin. Additionally, the use of sunscreen creams contributes to the accumulation of dead cells. In winter, even oily skin types need less scrubbing. Regular and timely use of scrubs also helps eliminate superficial wrinkles. Therefore, if you intend to use a scrub, make sure to use it at regular intervals to achieve the desired effect on your facial skin.
Use a scrub that does not contain large granules, as large granules can damage the horny cells, usually causing scratches on the skin that lead to wounds. The granules in the scrub should not cause wounds but should only remove the thin, hard surface of the skin without damaging the horny cells. It is usually recommended to use a moisturizer after scrubbing to provide the necessary moisture to the fresh and young skin.
How to use scrubs
Before using scrub materials, the face should usually be slightly damp so that the scrub, which is almost solid, can spread on the facial skin. Use your fingertips for this purpose
Start from the bottom of the chin and apply the scrub in a circular motion over the entire face. Be very careful when you reach the upper lip and under-eye areas, and never apply the scrub to your eyelids. Use more circular motions on the forehead and chin areas, as dead cells accumulate more in these parts than in other areas of the face.
There is no need to use a sponge or spatula to apply the scrub on the face, as these tools absorb the scrub materials and prevent the skin from benefiting from the minerals.
When washing off the scrub from the face, be careful not to let the materials enter your eyes. After thoroughly washing off the scrub, use a light moisturizer to care for your now fresh and young skin.
