Scrub for dry skin - choice and rules of use

Caring for problem skin

If your skin is problematic and prone to acne, care should be taken especially carefully.

There are many different products - creams, washing gels, foams, masks, lotions, tonics, gommages, peelings, scrubs. We will pay special attention to the latter.

Our skin is divided into main types: normal, oily, dry, combination. People with oily skin are more likely to be upset by the appearance of acne.

Of course: increased sebum secretion and enlarged pores provoke facial pollution.

Under the layer of sebum, dirt, germs, dead scales and cosmetic residues accumulate - as a result, the pores become clogged and acne appears.

Therefore, this type of skin needs to be very thoroughly cleansed to help it get rid of dead cells. In such cases, it is recommended to use scrubs. In addition to the main function - cleansing - they get rid of acne.

Scrub properties

Every person, man or woman, needs to cleanse their facial skin of dead cells. Washing does not always remove them from the skin. Dead cells become clogged in the pores and cannot be removed with a cleanser.

In addition to exfoliation, it performs several more functions:

• cleanses;
• moisturizes and nourishes;
• saturates with oxygen;
• tightens, there is a lifting effect;
• smoothes the surface, removes roughness;
• stimulates blood microcirculation;
• gives a healthy complexion.

How to properly prepare your face for cleansing:

1. Before application, the face is steamed over a decoction of herbs.
2. Apply it in the evening to avoid exposing your face to dust.
3. Apply along massage lines without touching the skin around the eyes.
4. The scrub is gently rubbed in, especially carefully in the area of ​​the forehead, nose and cheeks.
5. It is advisable to rinse off with cool water to close the pores.
6. After the entire procedure, moisturize your facial skin with a nourishing cream.

How to choose

Before purchasing, carefully study the composition.

The effectiveness is evidenced by the presence in the product of such components as salicylic acid, activated carbon, natural clay, healing mud, herbal and plant extracts.

It is better that these substances are not listed at the end of the composition - this means that they are contained in low concentrations. The first five positions of the composition are the most effective, the first ten deserve close attention.

It is very important what the scrubbing particles are made of and what size they are. As an example, let's compare Russian and French scrubs.

In these products, the active ingredient is the same - crushed apricot kernels, in “Clean Line” they are quite coarsely ground, and in “Yves Rocher” they are crushed to the finest powder.
