Q1: What is a face scrub used for?

A face scrub removes surface dead skin and build-up through physical exfoliation. It can leave the skin feeling smoother when used gently and as directed.

Q2: Which exfoliator is good for oily skin?

Salicylic acid exfoliators are commonly used for oily and clogged skin. A physical scrub can also work for some people, provided it is used gently.

Q3: Can I use a scrub for blackheads?

Yes. Some face scrubs are specifically made for blackhead care. Avoid aggressive rubbing, as more pressure does not mean better exfoliation.

Q4: How often should I exfoliate my face?

Follow the frequency recommended for the specific product. If your skin becomes dry, red or irritated, reduce use or stop.

Q5: Can I use a face scrub every day?

Only if the specific product is designed for that frequency. Many face scrubs are intended for less frequent use, so check the instructions.

Q6: Is chemical exfoliation better than a face scrub?

They work differently, so one isn't automatically better. Your skin type, concern and tolerance should guide the choice.

Q7: Can I exfoliate if I have acne-prone skin?

You can use an exfoliator if your skin tolerates it, but avoid aggressive scrubbing over active, inflamed breakouts. A suitable salicylic acid product may be a more appropriate option for some blemish-prone skin.
