It is very important to take care of the skin and for this, we use different types of products every day. At the same time, you must have often heard face scrubbing in the skincare routine and probably you too must be using scrub on the face from time to time.

Often we use the scrub on the face by rubbing it with a lot of pressure to do face scrubbing and think that maybe by doing this the effect of the scrub will increase. Tell us that on this, celebrity beauty expert DrChitraAnand told us what happens after rubbing the face vigorously. So let us know whether it is harmful or beneficial.

What happens if you scrub your face with high pressure?

We all exfoliate the skin with the help of face scrub at least 3 times a week, but doing so can cause many types of damage to your skin.

  • Scrubbing with strong pressure on the face can peel off the top layer of the facial skin, which can also lead to skin infections.
  • By repeatedly scrubbing the skin of the face, the natural oil of your skin ends and the dryness of the skin increases.
  • Although scrubbing is done to clean the pores, due to repeated scrubbing, the size of the pores on your face becomes excessively large.
  • Due to the increase in dryness on the facial skin, the skin becomes dry to a great extent and due to dryness, the skin starts to look flaky in no time.
  • Many times we scrub the face with strong pressure on the hands, due to which the fine particles of the scrub can prick the skin and due to this skin rashes can occur.

Keep these things in mind before scrubbing your face

  • While scrubbing the facial skin, you should always use light hand pressure only so that there is no harm to the skin.
  • For face scrub, always choose a scrub with fine particles so that they help in cleaning the pores properly.
  • Apart from this, you should use scrub on the face only 2 to 3 times a week.
  • If your skin is sensitive or dry, then you must first consult an expert.

In the end, before applying any scrub on the whole face, do a patch test once
