How to use face scrub

Using a face scrub correctly removes dead cells, unclogs pores, and helps other skincare products work better. Done right, exfoliation gives smoother, clearer skin without irritation.

Steps to apply face scrub effectively

1. Begin with clean skin

Wash your face with a mild, sulphate-free cleanser to remove oil and makeup. This prevents dirt from getting pushed deeper into pores while scrubbing. If skin feels tight afterward, splash some lukewarm water before applying the scrub.

2. Massage, don’t rub

Take a pea-sized amount and spread it over damp skin in gentle circles, starting at the nose and moving outward. Light pressure removes dull cells while keeping your skin barrier intact. If redness appears, ease up - less is more.

3. Rinse and balance

Rinse thoroughly, then pat dry with a soft towel. Follow with a hydrating toner, serum, or moisturizer. Vitamin C or niacinamide formulas work well after exfoliation because skin absorbs brightening actives more easily.

4. How often to exfoliate

Patch-test new products on the jawline before full use, and keep scrubs tightly capped to prevent drying out.
