What is a fine face scrub?
A good facial scrub removes dead skin cells and refines skin texture. This creates a fresh, radiant complexion. Our Skins Experts explain what scrubbing does for your skin, how to apply it and which formulas - from charcoal to enzymatic scrubs - are a valuable addition to your skincare routine.
Is scrubbing good for your face?
Scrubbing can definitely be good for your face - if you do it the right way. A fine face scrub removes dead skin cells, stimulates cell renewal and reveals a fresh, smooth complexion. It is important to choose a scrub with mild exfoliating ingredients that respect the skin. Excessive or too coarse scrubbing can actually unbalance the skin.
What is a face scrub good for?
A face scrub helps to even out your skin texture, refine pores and improve the absorption of serums and creams. PATYKA' s Radiance Sorbet Scrub is a great example of this. This gentle, uplifting scrub contains natural enzymes and fine particles that gently renew the skin without drying it out.
How to scrub your face
- Cleanse your skin with a gentle Cleanser to remove dirt and make-up.
- Apply the scrub to damp skin with clean hands.
- Massage gently in circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a clean towel.
- Then apply a moisturising serum or mask to soothe and intensively care for your skin.
Is scrubbing good for dry skin?
Dry skin can also benefit from scrubbing, as long as you choose a gentle formula and don't do it too often. Once or twice a week is sufficient. Always follow with a moisturising mask or cream to soothe the skin. Ingredients like aloe vera or shea butter are a nice addition here.
Is charcoal good for your face?
Charcoal - or activated charcoal - is known for its purifying properties. It helps to gently absorb impurities and excess sebum. For those looking for a deep cleanse, products like The Charcoal Face Wash by The Grey or the Detox Charcoal Mask by PATYKA are ideal choices. These formulas are suitable for those looking to refresh dull or blemished skin, without disrupting the skin barrier.
