Scrubbing too vigorously can cause micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation and inflammation. Opt for gentle pressure to avoid damaging the skin's surface.
Over-exfoliation can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and sensitivity. Limit use to 1-3 times per week to prevent irritation and maintain skin health.
Using a scrub that's too harsh for your skin type can aggravate issues like dryness or acne. Choose a scrub formulated for your specific skin needs to avoid exacerbating existing problems.
Failing to patch test a new scrub can lead to allergic reactions or irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Always test a small area before applying the scrub all over your body.
Skipping moisturizer post-scrubbing can leave the skin feeling dry and tight. Apply a hydrating lotion or oil to lock in moisture and keep the skin supple.
Scrubbing over cuts, sunburns, or other skin irritations can worsen the condition and delay healing. Avoid using scrubs on damaged skin to prevent further discomfort.
Exfoliating removes the skin's top layer, making it more susceptible to sun damage. Always apply sunscreen after using a scrub, especially if heading outdoors, to protect the skin from harmful UV rays.
