Frequently Asked Questions
-
A face scrub exfoliates, gently buffing away dull, dead surface cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin and to keep pores clearer. Most skin benefits from a scrub once or twice a week, though it is a supporting step rather than a daily essential.
- Smooths rough, dull-looking skin.
- Helps keep pores clear of build-up.
- Lets moisturisers absorb better afterwards.
-
Once or twice a week is right for most skin; more than that risks stripping the skin's protective barrier and causing redness or rebound oiliness. Oily, sturdy skin can manage twice weekly, while dry and sensitive skin should keep to once weekly with the gentlest scrub. The signs of over-exfoliation, tightness, stinging, flaking, shine, mean stop and let the skin recover. Gentle and occasional beats aggressive and frequent every time.
-
Ayurveda and Indian kitchens offer gentle, time-tested face exfoliants.
- Chickpea flour (besan) and oatmeal, soft and skin-kind.
- Ground almonds or rice flour, fine natural grains.
- Masoor dal (red lentil) powder, a classic brightening scrub.
- Honey and yoghurt as soothing, mildly exfoliating bases.
-
Apply to damp skin and let the grains do the work with the lightest pressure, never scrubbing hard.
- Cleanse first, leaving the skin wet.
- Massage the scrub in tiny, gentle circles for under a minute.
- Avoid the delicate eye area and any active breakouts.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and moisturise straight after.
Pressure and frequency, not the scrub itself, cause most exfoliation damage.
-
Gentle exfoliation can help acne-prone skin stay clearer, but harsh grainy scrubs can inflame active breakouts and spread bacteria, so caution matters. Avoid scrubbing over angry, pustular pimples, choose very fine or enzyme-style exfoliants over rough grains, and keep it to once a week. Many find a soft chemical exfoliant or a mild fruit-enzyme mask kinder than physical scrubbing. If acne is severe or painful, see a dermatologist before exfoliating at all.
-
A face polish is essentially a refined, gentler scrub, using finer particles and often more nourishing oils to smooth and add radiance with less abrasion, while a traditional scrub may use coarser grains for a more vigorous buff. Polishes suit delicate facial skin and sensitive types; coarser scrubs belong more to the body. For the face, gentler is almost always better, so a fine scrub or polish is the wiser facial choice.
-
Scrub before the mask, so the freshly smoothed skin can absorb the mask's benefits more fully, but never combine harsh exfoliation with a strong clay or active mask in the same session, as that over-treats the skin. A gentle scrub followed by a hydrating or soothing mask is a lovely weekly pairing. Keep the total experience kind: the skin should glow afterwards, not feel raw. Always moisturise to finish.
