As currently there are countless guides on how to take care of your skin, Maewaa Chanaloes Co., Ltd., under the MAE-WAA brand (www.maewaaproduct.com), would like to present how to take care of your skin through scrubbing, another increasing popular method due to prevalence in skin problems such as blemishes, dry or rough skin that ruin self-confidence of many.
Why scrubbing?
Scrubbing is basically brushing your skin to clean it, and stimulate skin turnover after almost constant exposure to sunlight and pollution. Although the usual skin turnover period is 21-30 days, factors like age, or poor skin condition might complicate the process, causing the dead skin cells to clump up and make the skin look rough, blemished and dry. In addition, skin pores might get clogged by these dead skin cells, leading to pimples. Skin scrubbing will remove all the grime and dead skin cells from your body, as well as brighten and smoothen your skin. Furthermore, skin scrubbing will remove all the grime and dirt on your skin, preventing more skin problems such as pimples, blemishes, rough skin, and poor appearance. After scrubbing, all the skincare products we use will get absorbed better. Thus, scrubs are one of the first choices for degraded skin cell removal, so the skin will revert back to its healthy and beautiful appearance. Still, careless scrubbing will bring more harm like skin irritation and other skin problems.
Suggestions for scrubbing
Dermatologists recommend scrubbing instructions for various skin types as follows:
- Acne-prone skin gentle scrubbing will help prevent new pimples, while excessively rough scrubbing will actually worsen the condition as it causes skin inflammation and stimulate bacterial growth.
- Dark skin scrubbing should be done carefully as careless scrubbing might cause blemishes and inflammation, and eventually uneven skin color that is difficult to treat.
- Sensitive skin scrubbing might actually irritate the skin and cause peeling or scars, rendering it even more sensitive to sunlight, inflammation and drying. Therefore, people with this skin type should nurture their skin after scrubbing to maintain moisture and prevent such problems.
Types of skin scrub mainly there are two types based on source:
- สครับผิวแบบสังเคราะห์ หรือสครับผิวที่เป็นเคมีภัณฑ์ ซึ่งเม็ดบีดที่ใช้เป็นตัวสครับส่วนใหญ่จะทำมาจากพลาสติกหรือพลาสติกเคลือบ ซึ่งปัจจุบันทาง อย. ไม่ส่งเสริมให้ใช้สครับแบบสังเคราะห์ เพราะอาจจะทำให้ก่อ ให้เกิดอัตรายต่อสุขภาพผิว และสิ่งแวดล้อม
- Natural scrub, which has gained much popularity because of varied size compared to the uniformity of synthetic beads. This allows better skin cell scrubbing and grime removal. There are many types available like salt, sugar, coffee, herb, matcha, charcoal, grain, bean or apricot. Natural scrub will not harm the skin, and also is eco-friendly.
Current scrub products are further development from the salt and sugar scrubs of old, so they have more tricks and textures available, like cream, gel, or lotion. Each texture has its own quirk, and feel, as well as choice of scrub beads.
How to scrub your skin at home
During the COVID-19 pandemic, going to the spa is not an option, and thus we have to scrub our skin at home, or some might already scrub at home to begin with. These minor tips might help you, before or after your shower.
1. Wash your body with warm water before using scrub
2. Lightly scrub the skin with your hand or gloves in circles. Do not scrub excessively that your skin turns red or irritated because that might lead to inflammation or cuts.
3. After scrubbing, rise with tepid water.
4. Wipe the skin dry, and then use skin cream or moisturizer to improve skin moisture or Vitamin E after scrubbing. Try not to use oil-based skin product.
5. Do not scrub skin too often or every day, only once or twice a week is sufficient.
6. People with skin issues such as cuts, infection, Psoriasis, chronic skin inflammation, allergy to sunlight, should avoid scrubbing as it might worsen the condition.
