It’s already a well-known fact that maintaining a proper skin care routine plays a vital role in order to get a flawless skin. One amongst the 5 basic steps for skin care routine is scrubbing the face. A scrub can work in many ways from exfoliating the dead skin to improving the colour complexion. As you massage or scrub your face, the granules help to banish away the dead skin and thereby alleviates pigmentation, dull complexion and make your skin flawless. Furthermore, all that massage to your face boosts blood circulation by increasing the blood flow to the skin’s surface.

However, you should not scrub your face every day because it leads to excessive dryness, itchiness and broken blood vessels. So, dermatologists recommend exfoliating the skin once or twice a week to get rid of dead skin.
