FAQS on when to use body scrub and body wash
Q: When should I use a body scrub versus a body wash?
A: Use a body scrub 1-2 times weekly to exfoliate dead skin cells. Body wash is for daily cleansing to remove dirt and sweat. Scrubs are not replacements for body wash.
Q: Can we use body wash after applying a body scrub?
A: Yes, rinse off the scrub first, then apply body wash. This ensures leftover scrub granules and impurities are fully removed. Always follow with moisturizer.
Q: Is it safe to use a body scrub every day instead of body wash?
A: No, over-exfoliating can damage your skin barrier. Body scrubs should be used sparingly (1-3 times weekly). Stick to gentle body wash for daily use.
Q: Can you use body scrub as a replacement for body wash?
A: No, scrubs lack the cleansing agents found in body wash. They’re designed to exfoliate, not clean. Use them together or alternate based on your skin’s needs.
Q: Should I apply body scrub before or after body wash?
A: Apply body scrub first to exfoliate, rinse, then use body wash. This sequence removes debris post-scrub and maintains skin hygiene. Avoid scrubbing sensitive areas harshly.
