A creamy scrub gives a softer, more cushioned polish, while a grainier formula feels more invigorating. La Mav Jojoba Exfoliating Scrub uses soft-melting jojoba beads in a nourishing cream base, whereas Acure Brilliantly Brightening Facial Scrub has the more noticeable texture of a traditional scrub.
Powder and salt-based formulas give you more control over the intensity. Miod Brightening Exfoliating Powder mixes into your cleanser, so using less creates a lighter polish. Eco by Sonya Certified Organic Super Acai Exfoliator becomes less grainy as you add water and its salts begin to dissolve. Whatever the texture, use light fingertip pressure rather than pressing hard.
Vanessa Megan Rosemary & Jojoba Bead Exfoliating Cleanser cleanses and polishes in one step. Multi-action formulas work in more than one way. La Mav AHA Face Exfoliant, Mukti Organics 2-in-1 Resurfacing Exfoliant and Retreatment Botanics Refining Face Polish pair gentle physical polishing with fruit-derived exfoliation.
These formulas already provide a complete exfoliating step. There is no need to follow them with another scrub, exfoliating toner or peel in the same routine. Leaving time between treatments helps the skin stay comfortable, particularly if you also use retinol.
A face scrub is a physical exfoliator that uses fine particles to polish the skin as you massage it. Facial exfoliator is the broader term and also includes powders, fruit-acid treatments and formulas that combine several methods. Choose a scrub if you enjoy a textured massage, or a multi-action formula if you want physical polishing and fruit-derived exfoliation in one step.
Dry or easily unsettled skin usually does best with a creamy, finely textured polish and light pressure. La Mav Jojoba Exfoliating Scrub is the gentler starting point. Combination or oily skin may prefer La Mav AHA Face Exfoliant or Mukti Organics 2-in-1 Resurfacing Exfoliant, which pair physical exfoliation with fruit acids. If your skin is currently red, sore or peeling, pause exfoliation until it has settled.
Yes, when the product is made to cleanse and exfoliate. Vanessa Megan Rosemary & Jojoba Bead Exfoliating Cleanser can replace your usual cleanser on exfoliation days. If you are wearing heavier makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, remove that first, then use the exfoliating cleanser. A face polish or treatment exfoliator is different and is normally used after cleansing.
Yes, but begin by using them on different evenings. Retinol can leave skin more prone to dryness and irritation, while combining several exfoliating products at once can be too much. If your scrub already contains fruit acids, treat it as both your physical and acid exfoliation for that routine. If your skin becomes tight, sore or persistently red, stop exfoliating until it feels comfortable again.
Start with once a week. Massage a small amount over damp skin using light circular movements, avoid the eye area and any broken or irritated skin, then rinse and moisturise. If your skin remains comfortable, you can move to twice weekly. There is no benefit in rubbing harder or using several exfoliators in the same routine.
