If you've got dry skin, you know the struggle: rough patches, flaky spots, and that tight feeling after you wash up. Scrubs can help, but only if you pick the right one. The wrong scrub can leave your face even drier or irritated. So, how do you exfoliate without making things worse?
For dry skin, less is more. Exfoliate once a week—twice at most if your skin feels up to it. Overdoing it can wear down your skin's barrier and make dryness worse. Listen to your skin; if it starts to feel sensitive or tight, give it a break.
Lotus Botanicals provides face scrubs made with plant-based ingredients and zero harsh chemicals. Their formulas are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and skip parabens, sulfates, and silicones. If you're looking for a gentle, effective scrub that won't leave your skin feeling parched, check out their range at lotusbotanicals.com.
1. How often should I use a face scrub if I have dry skin?
Once a week is usually enough for dry skin. If your skin feels okay, you might go up to twice a week, but don't overdo it or you risk irritation.
2. What ingredients should I avoid in a face scrub for dry skin?
Skip scrubs with harsh physical exfoliants like walnut shells or apricot pits. Also avoid alcohol-based formulas, which can dry you out even more.
3. Can I use a face scrub if I have sensitive, dry skin?
Absolutely, but look for scrubs with mild, rounded beads and a creamy base. Always patch-test first to make sure your skin stays calm.
4. Are chemical exfoliants better than physical scrubs for dry skin?
Sometimes, yes. Gentle chemical exfoliants like lactic acid can dissolve dead skin without friction, but don't mix with physical scrubs on the same day.
5. Should I moisturize right after using a face scrub?
Yes—it's one of the most important steps. Exfoliation helps your moisturizer sink in deeper, so don't skip it.
6. Is it safe to use a face scrub during winter when my skin is extra dry?
It can be, but cut back to once every two weeks if your skin feels raw or flaky. Focus on hydration and barrier repair.
7. Can I use Lotus Botanicals face scrubs every day?
Even though Lotus Botanicals uses gentle ingredients, daily scrubbing isn't recommended for dry skin. Stick to 1-2 times a week for best results.
8. Do Lotus Botanicals face scrubs contain parabens or sulfates?
No, Lotus Botanicals scrubs are free from parabens, sulfates, and silicones. They're also vegan and cruelty-free.
9. Why does my skin feel tight after using a scrub?
That's usually a sign the scrub is too harsh or you're scrubbing too often. Switch to a gentler product and up your moisturizer game.
10. Can I use a face scrub if I'm using retinoids or acids?
It's best to alternate days—never use both on the same night, or you risk over-exfoliating and damaging your skin barrier.
