Is It Good to Scrub Your Face?

It is generally good to scrub your face with an exfoliating scrub. An exfoliating scrub gets rid of the dirt, impurities and dead skin that accumulate on the face, allowing smoother, brighter skin to be uncovered. Exfoliating is especially beneficial if done before shaving, as exfoliating smooths out the skin, which in turn facilitates hair removal.

Should Men Exfoliate Their Face?

Men should exfoliate their face because their skin is typically thicker and oiler than women’s skin is. Regularly using a male exfoliating scrub will cleanse the skin to control both oil production and the amount of dead skin on the face. In addition to exfoliating, men should cleanse their face and beard to remove any buildup of dirt and sweat and wash away excess oil.

Is It Better to Exfoliate Dry or Wet?

It is better to exfoliate on wet skin if you are using a physical exfoliant such as our Magic Grooming Men’s Exfoliating Scrub. Exfoliating is easier and gentler on wet skin because wet skin is slipperier than dry skin and creates less friction with a physical exfoliant. On wet skin, the physical particles of a scrub will more easily glide across wet skin than on dry skin. If using a chemical exfoliant, it’s best applied on dry skin so that the chemicals can more effectively break down dead skin cells.

Should You Exfoliate Before or After Shaving?

You should exfoliate before shaving. Exfoliating before shaving eliminates dead skin that can clog your razor during hair removal. What’s more, exfoliating before shaving will ensure a closer shave and reduce irritation. Our <a href="/magic-grooming/mens-grooming/facial-exfoliating-scrub">exfoliating facial scrub for men</a>, which also serves as a scrub for beard, cleanses and exfoliates the skin.

Why Should Dead Skin Cells Be Removed Before Shaving?

Dead skin cells should be removed before shaving because if they aren’t removed, they can get stuck in your razor, preventing a close shave. Razors clogged with dead skin cells can also more easily cause irritation and ingrown hairs. Be sure to use an <a href="/magic-grooming/mens-grooming/facial-exfoliating-scrub">exfoliating beard scrub</a> or men’s face scrub to regularly get rid of dead skin cells.

How Often Should You Exfoliate Your Face?

You should exfoliate your face 2-3 times per week. But if you have sensitive skin, you might want to use a men’s exfoliating scrub less often.
