Scrubbing or exfoliation is one of the best ways to rejuvenate, cleanse and improve facial skin. There are a lot of funds intended for this procedure in the domestic market. There are both inexpensive scrubs and premium preparations prescribed by cosmetologists. But funds from this group do not always carefully affect the delicate epidermis of the face.
Basically, mechanical cleaning with scrubs thins the skin, makes it more vulnerable. Therefore, it is necessary to select cosmetics of this type with extreme caution. When choosing a scrub, you need to take into account not only the reviews of other users, but also the features and type of your facial skin. Otherwise, the negative consequences of exfoliation are inevitable: redness, allergies, rashes, an increase in the number of acne.
Before buying any of the skin cleansing products, carefully read the instructions and recommendations from the manufacturer. Not all scrubs are suitable for thin and sensitive skin. For this type of epidermis, cosmetologists advise using soft products with the most gentle effect. No soda, coarse abrasives and aggressive menthol. But for oily skin, strong products may well help to become matte, clean and velvety.
If you already have acne, deep comedones and pimples, then it is better to refrain from using scrubs altogether. The fact is that such products, when cleaning the epidermis with serious problems, and even during the period of exacerbation, contribute to the spread of infection throughout the face. Even if they contain an antiseptic.

This inexpensive cosmetics does a good job of cleaning the face, suitable for most users with a normal type of epidermis.
