Facial scrub and peeling - Page 3

What is a facial scrub? A facial scrub is a type of skin care designed to exfoliate the skin to remove dead cells. There are two types of facial scrub: chemical or mechanical. Chemical-action masks contain enzymes that exfoliate the skin without damaging it, while mechanical-action scrubs exfoliate the skin with micro-grains that remove dead skin cells and other impurities. Exfoliation also helps to unclog pores and prevent the appearance of imperfections, as well as revealing the complexion's radiance and helping to prevent the appearance of dark spots. Is a facial scrub good for the skin? Most people know the importance of cleansing and moisturizing their face daily. But what about exfoliation? Is a facial scrub good for the skin? The answer is: it depends! If you have sensitive skin or skin with many imperfections, we advise you to avoid using a granular scrub and instead opt for enzymatic scrubs. Whether grainy or enzyme-based, facial scrubs help remove dead cells from the skin's surface and unclog pores. It leaves skin deeply cleansed, smoother and more radiant. Of course, as with everything, it's important to use facial scrubs in moderation. Excessive use can irritate your skin through friction, leading to redness and rashes. So start slowly and see how your skin reacts; if it tolerates this type of product, then you can use it once or twice a week. Facial scrubs are a great way to improve the radiance of your complexion. Just be sure to use them sparingly and choose a gentle product suited to your skin type! Can I use a scrub on my face every day? No. Whatever your skin type, we don't recommend using a scrub on a daily basis. Facial exfoliants help remove dead skin cells and other impurities from your skin, which, as they accumulate, clog pores and lead to the appearance of skin imperfections. Rubbing it into your face also stimulates blood circulation, enhancing your complexion's natural radiance. But it can also be abrasive for your skin, creating micro-lesions that can encourage the appearance of imperfections and deteriorate the skin's appearance. It is essential to choose a facial scrub that is suited to your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, look for a gentle scrub that won't irritate the skin. For oily or acne-prone skin, opt for a facial scrub containing ingredients such as tea tree or zinc, which will help control excessive sebum production and the appearance of pimples. What's the difference between a facial cleanser and a facial scrub? A facial cleanser is a gentle product designed to remove dirt, oil and make-up from the surface of your skin. Facial cleansers perfect make-up removal, eliminating traces of make-up remover and pollution while regulating the skin. A facial scrub cleanses the skin more thoroughly and intensively. Whether grainy or enzymatic, exfoliators gently exfoliate and smooth skin texture. A facial scrub will also help to brighten the complexion, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting cell renewal. So what's the best option for you? Facial cleansers and facial scrubs are two completely different products, which need to be integrated into a skincare routine. Skin cleansing should be carried out daily (or twice a day, if you have oily skin). As for facial scrubbing, it should be carried out once or twice a week maximum, unless you have sensitive skin, in which case once is more than enough. Their actions are both different and complementary: one takes care of the skin on a daily basis, while the other enhances it. Is a facial scrub effective against acne? If you suffer from acne, you may be wondering whether regular use of a facial scrub can be effective? There are several types of imperfections: those caused by sebum and dead skin clogging the pores, creating blackheads and pimples, and those caused by acne due to hormonal imbalance, which can lead to imperfections. In the first case, regular exfoliation cleanses your skin thoroughly and removes all impurities. This will prevent pores from clogging. In the second case, the use of an enzymatic scrub will help to gently exfoliate the skin. You can also opt for fruit acid-based products that exfoliate the skin without any mechanical action. So, if you're thinking of using a facial scrub to help with your acne problem, remember that it needs to be part of a daily skincare routine suitable for skin with blemishes and pimples. Should a facial cleanser be used before or after a facial scrub? A facial scrub helps to thoroughly eliminate dead cells accumulated on the surface of the epidermis, as well as impurities such as dust, pollution, etc., and excess sebum. A facial cleanser is designed to cleanse your skin and perfect make-up removal. So what's the best way to use these two products? A facial cleanser is used before exfoliation to remove residual traces of make-up and accumulated impurities. The scrub then cleanses the skin more deeply, which a cleanser cannot do, thanks to its exfoliating action. It eliminates dead cells, unclogs pores and activates blood circulation. Does facial scrubbing damage the skin? Here's a question that's been the subject of much debate. While some claim that it can indeed damage it, others swear by its ability to cleanse and exfoliate. So what exactly is the situation? Once again, it's all a question of skin type and frequency of use. If you use a facial scrub that is too abrasive and recurrent, then it could indeed damage and irritate your skin. For example, the use of a grainy scrub for skin with pimples and imperfections is not always recommended, to avoid creating micro-lesions. But if you use a facial scrub suited to your skin type, and use it once or twice a week depending on your sensitivity, then it can only be beneficial.
