Type of scrub

Scrubs can be divided into plant type, milk type, chemical type and flower essential oil according to the composition. Scrub can be divided into face and body according to the care.

Plant type

Scrub particles of such scrubs such as almonds, red beans, papaya, oats and other natural plants. The advantage is that it contains natural lipids and vitamins to moisturize the skin; suitable for face and body care.

Correct use of scrub

1, the thicker the particles, the better the effect

Many people think that the exfoliating effect is proportional to the size of the particles, but it is not. Only thicker parts such as elbows, knees, and heels are suitable for products with coarser particles. If the skin is delicate, such as the arms and thighs, if you use large-grain exfoliating products, it will hurt the skin. In addition, summer sweat and oil secretion is more, the fine particles of the product can penetrate deep into the pores and remove dirt.

2, exfoliation is not necessary to wet

The body gel type exfoliating product itself contains enough water, if used on a wet body, it is equivalent to dilute the original ingredients. This is undoubtedly reducing the product effect in disguise. Conversely, cream or cream products need to be used when the body is wet, especially when bathing.

3, body exfoliation should also be done often

The sebaceous glands in the skin are about 7 times less than the facial skin, so the legs, arms and elbows are more likely to be "lack of water" and more aging keratin. In general, the renewal cycle of skin cells is 28 days, but if the skin is dry and dry, the process will slow down. At this time, it is necessary to "man-made exfoliation." However, exfoliation should not be too frequent. Because the stratum corneum has the function of moisturizing and UV protection, excessive exfoliation will cause other skin troubles. Generally no more than 2 times a week.

4, face and body exfoliating products can not be mixed

Due to the different thickness of the sebaceous glands and the body itself, the exfoliation of the face and body skin should be based on targeted products. Body skin, especially on the legs, arms and elbows, is particularly easy to dry, while facial exfoliating products are difficult to meet the needs of body care; on the other hand, facial skin is more delicate and sensitive than body skin, so the body goes Thicker particles in keratinous products may cause damage. Therefore, choosing the right product is also a part of summer exfoliation that cannot be ignored.
