  • Daily Exfoliator: Face Scrubs for Everyday Use

Wish you could add exfoliation to your daily skincare routine? Now you can! But remember, it’s important to pick a product that’s gentle enough for everyday use. Using a harsh exfoliator can irritate or even damage your skin, which you obviously don’t want to do. So read on to get the lowdown on how to find the best daily scrub for your skin’s needs.

Can You Exfoliate Every Day?

Absolutely, if you do it right. That means reading your labels and staying away from products made with harsh chemicals, exfoliants, or extracts. And, most importantly, make sure to use a formula that’s gentle enough to be called a daily exfoliator.

What Is A Good Exfoliant?

Exfoliants are not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing, so it really depends on the level of skin smoothing you’re looking for. Think about exfoliation on a scale from gentle to deep. To softly buff away dull skin cells, opt for a gentle daily exfoliator. For deep exfoliation, choose a product that’s recommended for use just a few times a week. Needs some recos? We got you.

St. Ives Gentle Smoothing Oatmeal Scrub & Mask is a great gentle daily exfoliator. One-part scrub and one-part mask, it combines the subtle skin-polishing skills of walnut shell powder with the calming powers of finely milled oats and honey. This 2-in-1 scrub-meets-mask is the ultimate daily treat for smooth skin.

On the more intense exfoliation side, the iconic St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub goes deep to remove dirt, makeup, and oil, for seriously glowing skin. Made with 100% natural apricot extract and California walnut shell powder, it’s the type of powerful exfoliator you only want to use every couple of days.

If you’re looking for a daily exfoliating cleanser (aka one that also refreshes your skin) you’re in luck! St. Ives Exfoliate & Nourish Coconut Oil Scrub melts makeup away, deeply nourishes, gets rid of dull skin, all at the same time! It’s made with pure grapeseed oil and 100% natural coconut shell powder, and this daily exfoliating face wash is gentle enough to be used every day or a few times a week – up to you!

Bottom line: No matter what level of exfoliation you’re looking for, St. Ives has something for you.

Is It Good To Use A Face Scrub Daily?

Absolutely, just as long as you use a gentle one. If we sound like a broken record, it’s because we care about your skin and don’t want you to do anything to harm it. Trust us, you and your glowing complexion will thank us.

If you decide a daily face exfoliator isn’t your thing and want more intense semi-weekly exfoliation, you still need to use a good daily face cleanser or daily face wash.

If you’re on the hunt for something new, look no further than St. Ives Cleansing Sticks. Inspired by Korean beauty trends, these take-anywhere solid cleansers are made with 100% natural coconut oil to dissolve daily grime and leave your skin supremely soft and glowy. They come in a range of irresistible blends, but we’re currently obsessing over St. Ives Matcha Green Tea & Ginger Cleansing Sticks which gives skin a daily detox. And you thought matcha was just for lattés!

Is It Better To Exfoliate In The Morning Or Night?

Fact: Skin cells renew overnight. Guess that’s why they call it beauty sleep! This means that morning is the best time to smooth away any dead skin that may have built up while you were snoozing. Here is our simple, 3-step way to face the day with glowing skin:

Step 1: Massage your favorite exfoliator into skin (see our picks above)
Step 2: Wash away dull skin cells
Step 3: Apply face moisturizer (like this one) and glow the day away!

How often can you use St. Ives scrub?

Gentle exfoliation face scrubs can be used three-to-four times per week and are the mildest face scrubs on the market. In fact, some gentle face scrubs, such as our Gentle Smoothing Oatmeal variant, also double as a face mask!

Can I use apricot scrub daily?

NO: if you're using a walnut/apricot or dermabrasion-based scrub, then just once-a-week usage is recommended.

How often can you use apricot scrub?

Using an apricot scrub like the Prainha Apricot Body Scrub at least 2-3 times a week helps to eliminate dirt, strip away excess oil, remove dead skin cells, and other impurities.

What will happen if I scrub everyday?

Exfoliating too often can strip the skin on your face of its natural oils and lead to breakouts. Too much scrubbing may also cause your skin to become irritated. Most skin care experts agree that exfoliating your face once or twice a week is best for most skin types.
