Skin cleansing is the most important step in a multi-step skincare routine. Almost every woman has in her arsenal a washing gel, a special mousse or cream. However, daily washing with the above means is not sufficient.

A scrub is a cleansing agent designed to rid the skin of those impurities that daily cleaning products cannot cope with.
The small blotches contained in the scrub remove dead skin particles, make-up residues that did not succumb to the usual gel. In addition, applying a scrub is an opportunity to carry out a kind of skin massage, since working with it involves a certain mechanical effect on the epidermis.
The basis of the product is a gel or a denser cream, and sometimes cosmetic clay.
As cleaning particles can be used:
The process of cleaning the skin with a scrubbing agent is called peeling.
Important! Unlike daily cleansers that have a smooth texture, the scrub contains abrasive inclusions that have a local irritating effect on the skin, contributing to a deeper cleansing. Therefore, you should be extremely careful when applying the product, especially on the face, avoid active friction so as not to damage the skin.
The peeling procedure must be performed after preliminary cleansing of the facial skin. At the same time, for the epidermis, which is prone to oiliness and shine, gels or foams are more often used, which have a slight drying effect. For normal to dry skin, a milk or cleansing tonic is more suitable.
Scrub is applied to the face with fingers, usually the index and middle fingers, the process of distribution and massaging, as a rule, lasts about three minutes. When applying the product, you should follow the generally accepted rules for distributing cosmetic products on the face: from the center of the forehead to the temporal region, then from the corners of the lips to the temples and from the chin to the earlobes. Do not apply a regular scrub to the area around the eyes or lips.
If body peeling is to be done, then it is preferable to do it immediately after taking a shower. In this case, it will be more convenient to apply the product with a soft mitten made of natural materials. If there is none at hand, you can do it simply with your fingers.
After the procedure is completed, the remains of the scrub are washed off with warm water.
The frequency of scrub application is indicated on the package. When choosing a product, you need to pay attention to the type of skin for which this product is designed.Similar information is also reflected on the bottle or packaging of the product.
An important step in the peeling procedure is the final moisturizing of the skin after scrubbing. For this, creams and lotions that have a nourishing, softening or deep moisturizing effect are suitable. Light texture gels will be less suitable in this case.
