Scrubs are characterized by exfoliating and cleansing qualities, besides, with massaging movements, the scrub improves blood circulation, which has a positive effect on the complexion. Scrubbing is necessary to get rid of not only dead cells, but also from the accumulated remnants of cosmetics and other impurities that can accumulate in the pores for years. It is important to note that people with rosacea (close location of the capillaries to the skin surface) are better off refusing this procedure.
