If you love to hate facial scrubs, you’re definitely not alone! Many shy away because they seem abrasive, irritating, and even intimidating at times. Well, we’re here to shed some light on this debate and tell you: not all scrubs are bad! We often think we have to aggressively rub our skin to reap the benefits of physical exfoliation, but that’s not the case. And we end up blaming the product when it’s actually over-exfoliating that’s causing the most harm. Plus, there are numerous developments in the formulations/ingredients, so there really shouldn’t be much to worry about. That is unless your skin absolutely can’t handle them. As always, the decision is yours to make, and if you do choose to incorporate any, make sure you PATCH TEST! We’ve curated some top scrubs and powder washes we personally find the best!
