Use of scrubs every day is not advisable as it will strip off the essential oil from your skin. Exfoliate your skin once a week if you have dry skin and bi-weekly if your skin is oily. If you experience any kind of irritation or unusual dryness, it is an indication that the ingredient in your scrub is not suitable for your skin. In that case, go easy and use some other ingredient.
Harsh abrasive scrubs are not suitable for dry skin. Oily skin is very much prone to acne. Scrubbing too much can aggravate the acne condition. Avoid use of artificial ingredients. Making scrub at home is the safest option. They do not contain any preservative or any chemicals which can harm your skin. Here are some easy ways to prepare homemade scrubs from simple natural ingredients to get healthy and younger looking skin all over the body.
