10 best scrubs for dry skin

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Like any other skin, dry skin also needs periodic scrubbing and cleansing of dead skin cells. But, if for oily or normal skin the scrub is applied at least once a week, for dry skin it is recommended to do this no more than 1-2 times a month.

Rules for choosing a scrub for dry skin

Scrub for dry skin is designed for superficial cell renewal. However, dry epidermis is highly sensitive to abrasive methods of cleansing, and due to its thinness, it is prone to early aging and microtrauma. The best choice is a cream or gel scrub that does not contain large particles that have sharp, uneven edges, such as ground grape seeds, apricot seeds or sea salt. The portal's experts recommend paying attention to formulas enriched with beeswax, hyaluronic acid, and natural oils. For dry, sensitive skin, gel gommages with miniature rounded synthetic balls that massage the skin without irritating its surface are a good choice.

Scrub instructions

It is best to use a scrub before bed. To do this, you must first cleanse the skin, then apply the scrub on the face with soft, circular movements and, for several minutes, gently massage the skin. To avoid stretching the skin, when applying the product, it is necessary to move along the massage lines – from the center of the face to the hairline, avoiding the area around the eyes. If redness or tingling appears during the procedure, the scrub is not suitable. After the procedure, the product should be thoroughly washed off with water, dabbed with a napkin and applied with a nourishing night cream.
