Best facial exfoliating scrub for glowing skin

Facial exfoliating scrubs are like bras - most of us are using the wrong one.

Using a facial or exfoliating scrub as part of a regular skin care routine is vital to keep you looking your beautiful best.

But did you know all scrubs are exfoliants, but not all exfoliants are scrubs?

You’re familiar with gritty pastes or powders that you add water to as the most common exfoliators. But there are also other products which achieve the same results without the abrasive action. Some are masks that contain mild acids that gently dissolve the outermost layer of skin, having the same effect.

Whatever kind you use (and see recommendations below) regular exfoliation has a number of benefits:

Brighter skin

When you are regularly removing the build-up of dead skin oil and other debris, there’s no doubt that your skin is going to look fresher and brighter. A good quality exfoliant can also help skin look more even in tone.

Helps minimise signs of ageing

Old skin cells can cause the appearance of lines and wrinkle. With regular exfoliation, these cells are removed, which helps skin look smoother, firmer and plumper.

Helps skin look clearer

It makes sense that if you are regularly clearing away the oil and dead cells from your skin that contribute to clogged pores, black heads, and pimples, your skin is less likely to look congested.

But a word of warning: the right product for your skin type is critical, or you could make things words.

Help with absorption and effectiveness of other products

When you remove the dead cells and oil from the surface of your skin by exfoliation, your serums and moisturisers are able to be more easily absorbed by your skin.

So, it's well worth investing in a great Facial Exfoliating Scrub!

But which exfoliator is the best for me?
