Does scrub facial cleanser harm the skin?

Some people feel that normal facial cleansers are not effective in washing the face. It can only clean the surface, but cannot completely remove the dirt in the pores. Therefore, some people think of using scrub facial cleanser to wash their face. The tiny particles in scrub facial cleansers can remove bacteria and dust from the pores by rubbing and massaging on the face. But if you wash your face with scrub facial cleansers frequently, will these tiny particles harm your skin?

The scrub facial cleanser removes dirt and dead skin through the friction between the particles and the skin. Many cosmetic companies claim that scrub facial cleansers have the effect of exfoliating and cleansing the skin. This effect is true, but it also has a lot of harm. There are many young girls who don’t know how to take care of their skin and feel that the cleansing effect of scrub facial cleansers is particularly good and they feel so comfortable using them that they use them every day like eating, with every meal. In the end, they make themselves look so ugly that they can’t face anyone.

In fact, exfoliating facial cleansers rely on the effect of microparticles, but did you know that such microparticles have been explicitly banned in the United States? The United States recently enacted a bill that prohibits the presence of any plastic particles called microbeads in soap, toothpaste and other toiletries starting from July 1, 2017.

In fact, the particles in the exfoliating products of many skin care companies are actually insoluble in water. During use, the particles will flow into the sea through the drain pipes and may be eaten by fish, and then become a delicacy on our table, forming a vicious cycle.

Exfoliating facial cleansers can cause enlarged pores

Exfoliating facial cleanser is a facial cleanser with some tiny particles added. Through the friction between these particles and the skin surface, the facial cleanser can more effectively remove skin dirt and aging keratin cells on the skin surface.

There are some coarse particles in the scrub facial cleanser, which can clean the dead skin during the friction process. But don't use it every day, as it will thin your stratum corneum. It will also make your pores larger. The frequency of use is about once a week.
