How often should you use a body scrub?

The number of times you exfoliate depends on your skin type. In general, skin experts recommend using a body scrub at least once a week. It is recommended to start with the scrub once a week and then increase that to 3 times a week.

It should be noted that the number of exfoliation times should be reduced for those with oily skin. This may lead to adverse results, as frequent body exfoliation may cause excessive sebum production. It should be noted that it is recommended to consult a skin care expert to determine the appropriate number of times to use body scrub according to skin type.
