FACIAL SCRUBS: BENEFITS, HOW TO USE THEM, AND THE BEST ONES FOR YOUR SKIN TYPE
The importance of facial scrubs in a skincare routine is often underestimated. Many people wonder how to use a facial scrub effectively – including when and how often.
Facial scrubs use the mechanical action of micro-particles to effectively rid pores of residual impurities and dead cells, while acting as a trigger for a skin renewal process. A face scrub helps keep the skin toned, supple and with an even complexion. Here are some tips and products devised by Biotherm experts to get glowing skin by using facial scrubs.

How often should you exfoliate your face?
How often you exfoliate your face depends on how harsh the exfoliants are in your face scrub. Gentle face scrubs that are made with less-harsh ingredients can be used daily. For example, Biotherm experts have developed a multi-active exfoliating facial scrub for daily use that will keep skin looking its best without harsh irritants. In this case, you can use our Biosource Exfoliating & Cleansing Gelée Micellaire in your daily morning skincare routine.
However, this is not true for all facial scrubs. Some are formulated with harsher ingredients that do exfoliate well, but shouldn’t be overused to avoid irritation. In this case, only exfoliate 1-2 times per week for the best results.
The ideal facial scrub according to Biotherm
As we mentioned, the ideal product to use routinely in a skincare routine is the Biosource Exfoliating Cleansing Gel, since it is an effective yet gentle facial scrub that uses some of the most innovative technologies developed by the brand, whose formula is 89% biodegradable*.
The first of these is the anti-adhesion technology, which releases a thin but crucial protective film during skin cleansing in order to prevent the deposit of impurities into the pores. The formula is enriched with Biotech Plankton™, an ingredient of natural origin that aids cell renewal by promoting the elasticity and skin firmness.
Enriched with golden algae extract that infuses the complexion with radiance, the Biotherm facial scrub also contains exfoliating microspheres which thoroughly cleanse by ridding the skin of impurities.
