Scrub a Dub

Scrub a Dub

Scrubbing is one of the best ways to smoothen your skin and remove dead skin cells. But make sure that you scrub your skin gently to avoid harsh irritation. Those granules that are in facial scrubs remove the dead top layers of skin and unclog pores to make your skin smooth and glowing. Before you exfoliate you should determine your skin type first.
Here’s how you can find out which category your skin falls into:

Step 1:
Rinse your face with a mild cleanser for normal skin.

Step 2:
Pat dry and observe if your skin feels ‘tight’. if it does, you probably have dry skin.

Step 3:
Also notice your pores. Oily skin will tend to have large pores, while dry skin will tend to have smaller pores. Combination skin will show large pores on the T-zone area, but smaller pores on the cheek area.

Step 4:
Finally, take a piece of tissue and blot your face. Look out for flaky or oily residue. Dry skin can leave a flaky residue, while oily skin might produce oil spots.

For Normal/Combination Skin
- Look for a scrub with medium
-size granules to stop oil.
- Look for a scrub that has light moisturizers like soy to hydrate you skin.
- Use it every night.

For Oily Skin
- Look for an oil-free scrub with fruit extract to strip the dull skin.
- Look also for salicylic acid for extra acne control.
- Use it daily.

For Dry Skin
- Look for a scrub with fine granules to gently slough off rough skin.
- it is also good if you use a scrub with jojoba to moisturize
- Use it twice a week at night time.
