What is Foaming Scrub Used For?

A foaming scrub can be used on the body or face. It buffs away dull, dead skin cells to reveal a brighter complexion.

Do foaming cleansers exfoliate?

Foaming cleansers only exfoliate if they have a chemical like glycolic acid. Or a physical exfoliant like sugar.

Can I use a face scrub every day?

You shouldn’t use a face scrub with sugar every day because it can be too rough on the skin and cause hyperpigmentation. Fine-grain sugar is perfectly safe for the face, but too much of a good thing can cause more damage than good. Once a week, or depending on when you feel your complexion needs a refresher, should be enough.
