1- What is a face scrub?
Also known as an exfoliate, the scrub is neither more nor less than a gel that has the ability to remove all the dead cells, impurities and excess sebum of your skin. You should know that the skin is in constant danger when you point the nose outside. The air itself, a vector of pollution, is a source of aggression for your skin! That’s why it’s a sensitive fabric that needs to be protected.
The face scrub is a very good addition to your daily cleansing gel. It does pretty much the same job, but more in-depth and with a better action on your pores.
2- What is a scrub for the face?
In the composition of the men’s exfoliator, there is first a base that is usually a moisturizer to which are added exfoliating ingredients.
Then, the secondary ingredients can vary but it is most often small abrasive grains that act on your skin by a friction system. Most of the time, these grains are composed of salt or sodium bicarbonate.
3- Why use a face scrub for men?
In the past, scrubs and other cosmetic products were reserved for women … a little paradoxical, in a sense, because it turns out that men’s skin needs even more care. Eh yes! We men have thicker skin that secretes more sebum. As a result, it breaks down faster and easier. Of course, shaving does not help and aggravates irritation problems.
Whether you have sensitive skin or not at all, the scrub will have a restorative effect on your skin that you will notice fairly quickly. What are the effects of the scrub? It essentially exfoliates the skin that is to say to eliminate the dead cells that cover the superficial layer of your epidermis.
4- For what types of skin?
There are scrubs for all skin types: everyone will find something! Choose the product for you, otherwise, it may not produce any effect even if it is a scrub of the best quality possible.
For fragile and sensitive skin, we recommend a scrub without grains. This product will purify your skin without hurting it since there will be no grains to roll and rub against your skin.
Dry skin, easily irritable, will rather need a gel exfoliating and soft.
The traditional grain scrubs are perfect for mixed and normal skin.
Finally, it is appropriate to reserve special treatment for oily skin. Generating more sebum and therefore more impurities than all other types of skin, oily skin needs a scrub particularly rich in grains to be thoroughly cleaned. The application of a green clay scrub two to three times a week seems to be the ideal method.
5- What results?
As we mentioned above, the main function of the scrub is to neutralize the dead skin cells. This product contributes to cell renewal, which is why you will get a fresh and radiant complexion through regular use.
6- How often do you scrub your face?

What to do after a scrub?
The little secret to knowing to bring your skin to its maximum potential is to apply a moisturizer after each scrub. This small gesture seemingly insignificant will restore the protective film of your skin: the skin of your face will find all its protective capabilities!
Are you ready to pamper your skin properly? Whatever the texture of your skin, it is up to you to find the face scrub you need to maintain your complexion to its best colour! A good choice of product, a little rigor in the frequency of application and you will be the most beautiful gentlemen.
