Skin is one of the biggest organs in our body. It is important to take proper care to maintain them young and healthy. Spending 5 to 10 mins in a day will give you beneficial and better results. Even though there are many steps like cleansing, scrubbing, moisturising, etc. each plays an important role in making your skin more than just being better. As mentioned, cleansing plays a vital role in making your skin feel free from pollution, dust, dirt, etc. As much as you are cleansing your skin, it is equally important to scrub and shed away the dead skin cells present in the skin for getting smooth and softer skin.

Even though we are aware of the term scrubbing there are many mistakes we are doing that will eventually damage your skin. Most of us use DIY scrubs made of sugar, walnuts, rice flour, etc. While they are safe for the skin internally, they will cause damage externally because of the hard or big scrub particles available in sugar or walnuts. So, always make sure to use a good non-hurting scrub, and you will get better benefits out of it.

Here are a few things to be considered while you are in the process of scrubbing the face:

1. Cleanse your face before incorporating any further steps.

Always make sure that any skincare process or routine should not hurt or cause any kind of inconvenience to your skin. Only then, the skin will get adapted and work better in the process of healing the skin.
