A lot of people say that their scrubs are bad for your face and some don't. Is it bad to use your face?

One of the girls on here her name is Traci. she is one of the skin care queens on bl and told me it was bad. I do believe not all of them are bad. the one that I was using was the apricot scrub. that one is very abrasive and ruff. she said it was made of sea shells. let me find my thread and I will screen shoot it for you :)

I have had the apricot one and it was awful. It was too abrasive. I have the green tea one now and it's really gentle, I love it.

The apricot one is the only one I know of that is too rough and abrasive, it creates little tears in your skin

Yep, Cindy nailed it. The apricot scrub is too abrasive for the facial skin and causes micro tears. The green tea one and the oatmeal one are the ones that are okay to use on the face.

Its great for the body but for the face. Not so good. I took some of it one time and smeared it on slide where I looked at under a microscope. All I saw was jagged, sharp edges. If you want to use a facial scrub I would seek out something that contains microbeads but the draw back to that is the one's commonly used in skincare have found their way to water sources in which it has affected fish in our lakes and rivers.So if you are concerned about the environment that might be something you'd want to avoid. As the other beauties mentioned the green tea and oatmeal are perfectly fine to use.
