How many times a day should you scrub your face?
Scrubs like that should be used once a week because they can irritate the skin and dry it ut. Use a mild cleanser (Dove, Neutragena) for everyday make-up removal.
Reply:You should only use a scrub 2-3 times a week. If you use it any more than that you are asking for trouble. But it's your skin....do what you want.
Reply:Be careful with those apricot scrubs, they can be very harsh and damaging to your skin. So try it once every other day until you know how your skin will react... and by all means dont "SCRUB" just use gently circular motions with plenty of water. Don't forget to moisturize afterward.
Reply:It should probably say on the bottle where it says 'Directions:'.

But I would assume that you use it once in the morning, and once before you go to bed.
Reply:I use the apricot face scrub too.......you should still wash your face when you wake up and then b4 you go to bed!
Reply:11 and wash your hands 13 times always the left over the right first. Never turn off the tap with the same hand as you turned it on.
Reply:you can use it once a day but get a gentler 1 for later in the day to get rid of you make up after your work
Reply:2 times a day. Once when u wake up. And another time when B4 u go 2 bed
Reply:Use a makeup remover or creamy cleanser to remove your makeup. Then use your scrub at night, right before you put on your moisturizer before bed. This gives your skin time to "recover" from the abrasiveness of the scrub. In the morning, just use a moist washcloth quickly over your face, put on your moisturizer, then your makeup and go. Once a day is more than enough on the exfoliation.
Reply:u should use it 1-2 times weekly as its harsh ..it removes dead cells from the skin
Reply:2 once in the morning and once at night
Reply:you should scrub your face at least 2 times a day
Reply:scrubs should only be used like once or twice a week. BELIEVE ME..i found out the hard way. i used it everyday and i started to break out and my skin got all dry and nasty looking. and make sure to uses a mousturizer afterwards. good luck
Reply:once a day is good. but i wouldn't do it that often. i would do it about 2 to 3 times a week and thats all.



the reason for that is because if you have dead skin on your face and you use the scrub to get rid of it and using it a lot will creat MORE dead skin and will dry your face out and you dont want that. so if you do use it a lot make sure to put on a OIL-FREE moisturizer right after you wash you face.



also, when you dry your face. PAT IT DRY. dont rub your face with the towel. it wont help at all.



hope that helps.

good luck
Reply:well do it once or twice a day that should work!
Reply:Twice. Well once in the morning and once @ night. I have that stuff to. Your face wont dry out if u out lotion on.
Reply:I think twice a day should be fine. if you are worried you could get some moisturizer from the store for overnight.



if you only go down to once a day, i would do it after your makeup comes off.
Reply:it sure works.... but try proactiv no matter if you have pimples or not it makes your face soft... i promise.... and about the apricot scrub i have some too... ummm.... one time @ night and when you wake up.... your welcome...

good luck**
