Before we dive in, let’s rewind for a moment. In our previous blog, we explored the skin science behind exfoliation—why it’s essential, how it benefits your glow, and why scrubbing has stood the test of time as a beloved skincare ritual. If you haven’t read it yet, we’ve got you covered! Head over to All About Scrubs—Let’s Get Down to the Nitty Gritty to get the full scoop.

Now that we’ve established why exfoliating is essential, let’s talk about the next big question:
How often should you scrub?

The short answer? It depends on your skin type.
The long answer? Let’s break it down.

Why Frequency Matters

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells that build up on the surface, causing your skin to look dull, uneven, and aged. But too much of a good thing can definetly be a bad thing. Over-exfoliating can disrupt your skin’s natural renewal cycle, leading to irritation, rashes, and even more breakouts—the very things you’re trying to avoid.

Scrub Guidelines by Skin Type & Area:

Body Scrubs:

• Normal to Combination Skin: 1-2 times a week
• Sensitive Skin: Just once a week
• Always follow with a rich, hydrating body butter to lock in moisture and soothe the skin.

Facial Scrubs:

• Use once a week, regardless of skin type
• Choose a scrub with gentle exfoliants like oats, rice powder, or finely ground botanicals
• Avoid harsh grains or aggressive scrubbing—your face deserves a softer touch

Remember: the skin on your face is more delicate than the skin on your body, so treat it with extra care.

Pro Tips to Elevate Your Scrub Ritual

1. Use Circular Motions
Massaging your scrub in gentle, circular patterns helps stimulate blood flow, break down toxins, and encourage the growth of new skin cells. It’s not just exfoliation—it’s a mini massage for your glow.

2. Hydrate from Within
Drinking water is one of the most underrated skincare steps. Hydrated skin cells are healthy skin cells. Upping your water intake helps prevent dryness and supports your skin’s natural renewal process.

3. Follow with Nourishment

After exfoliating, your skin is primed to absorb moisture—so don’t skip this step! Reach for deeply hydrating products that replenish and restore. Our Oasis Facial Serum is packed with nutrient-rich botanicals that help lock in hydration and support your skin’s natural glow. For the body, our Nourishing Body Butter delivers rich, velvety moisture that leaves your skin feeling soft, supple, and radiant.

Scrubbing daily may feel productive, but it’s not doing your skin any favors. The key is balance—knowing your skin type, choosing the right scrub, and sticking to a routine that supports your skin’s natural rhythm.

Glow is a journey, not a race.
So scrub smart, hydrate often, and let your skin shine with intention.
