“Mujhse shaadi karogi?” — nah, yeh question toh face wash aur face scrub dono hi daily routine se puchte hain 😅. Both are important, but if you confuse one for the other, your skin might file a divorce petition. Let’s break it down properly — what each does, why you need both, and how to actually use them without wrecking your skin barrier.
A face wash is your basic cleanser — designed to remove surface oil, dirt, sweat, pollution, and makeup residue.
👉 Think of it as brushing your teeth — you cannot skip it.
A face scrub is more of a specialist: it focuses on exfoliation — removing the dead layer of cells that sits on top of your skin.
👉 Basically, scrubs are like that cousin who visits occasionally — fun, effective, but if they stayed daily, you’d lose patience (and in skincare, your barrier).
👉 Moral of the story: Don’t replace one with the other. They’re teammates, not competitors.
Example routine:
I once scrubbed daily thinking “extra glow milega.” End result? Red, patchy, cranky skin. Lesson learned: more scrubbing ≠ more beauty. Now I scrub just twice a week and trust me, my skin is way happier.
Q: Can I skip face wash and just use scrub?
A: No. Scrubs don’t clean dirt/pollution, they exfoliate dead skin.
Q: How often should I scrub?
A: 1–3 times per week, depending on skin type.
Q: Can sensitive skin use scrubs?
A: Yes, but go for mild, enzyme-based ones instead of harsh beads.
Q: Can men use scrubs?
A: Absolutely. Especially helpful for preventing ingrown hairs after shaving.
Q: Which comes first — wash or scrub?
A: Wash first, scrub second (on scrub days).
Face wash is your daily buddy, scrub is your occasional wingman. Use both wisely and they’ll keep your skin fresh, clear, and glowing.
