A good basic regimen begins with cleansing and purifying skin with a cleanser. Follow it up with an exfoliator or scrub which will gently remove the dead skin cells and leave your skin to breathe freely. Complete the regimen with a moisturizer to hydrate and nourish for a healthy glow.

There are several reasons to use a face scrub in your skin care regime. Scrubs work by removing dead skin, leaving behind a layer of younger, healthier skin behind. Regular use of an exfoliant can keep skin smooth and glowing, by constantly exposing new skin. Many face scrubs now also include moisturizers, so they nourish the skin while removing dead skin. Use of a face scrub can also remove lingering facial makeup which may not get totally cleaned by a cleanser.

If you have normal or dry skin you can use a scrub once or twice a week.  Oily or combination skins can be exfoliated 3 or 4 times a week with a skin care product especially formulated for your skin type.  Scrubs cab help keep pores clean and prevent break-outs.

Facial scrubs generally include a mild abrasive which is designed to pull away dead and dying skin when it is gently rubbed on the face. A number of things are in use as an exfoliant in a face scrub, including bamboo fibers, ground nut shells, oatmeal, sugar, and fruit pulp. In addition to the exfoliant, a face scrub usually contains a carrier oil or cream which is used to hold the exfoliant in a suspension, along with a fragrance of some kind, often provided by an essential oil which is also supposed to promote relaxation or well-being.

If possible, one should test a face scrub before buying it. The best way to test a scrub is to rub a small sample of the scrub on the inside of your wrist. The skin on this part of the body tends to be delicate, so if the face scrub will irritate your face, it will irritate your wrist. Be sure to scrub, wait a few minutes, and rinse with lukewarm water to see if your skin shows any signs of irritation.
