Opinion on Physical Scrubs
I use chemical exfoliation but sometimes my skin craves a physical one.
I think gentle scrubs like rice and sugar, or gommage scrubs, when used gently and correctly are not bad.
There is no hard evidence found against scrubs causing microtears yet.
Using scrub once every week/two weeks, in gentle ad circulatar motions isn’t as harmful as it has been showed.
Ofcourse, appricot, wallent etc. are definitely harsh and should be avoided.
Also, if you have eczema, rosacea or super sensitive skin, it would be best to stay away from physical exfoliation.
