Face scrubs that’ll give you glow (without damaging your skin)
Spring clean isn’t just for your home, you beauty too. If you find dull and not fresh look on your face, then it’s time to eliminate all the dead tissue which have become layered on your face and exfoliate the skin to create the youthful fresh layer beneath to the top. You need a good face scrub to get rid of those dead skin. Facial scrubs are excellent for giving you that healthy pink cheeked glow.
A simple face wash is insufficient, no matter how many times you splash water over the face. The pollutants may have logged into the pores and creases of the skin. Exfoliating your skin is something that should be part of everyone’s beauty routine.
Best face scrub for glowing skin
If you decide to use a face scrub you should be aware of this important fact – the benefit of a face scrub is that it removes dead cells from the surface of your skin, skin takes two weeks to replenish itself, if you just used the scrub yesterday and you use it again today you’re not scrubbing off dead skin cells but the healthy cells you just uncovered yesterday. Some skin may recover faster than others but for the most part it’s best if you only use the scrub once every two weeks. Another thing to be aware of is the fact that your body doesn’t naturally remove the dead dry cells for a reason – to protect the healthy cells beneath them. So if you use a facial scrub be sure to moisturize and use sunscreen on your face in the days following.
