As we’ve covered above, a scrub is just one kind of exfoliator. There are a number of different types of exfoliators available, including konjac sponges, mechanical brushes and tools, fruit enzymes, AHAs and BHAs. In essence, all scrubs are exfoliators but not all exfoliators are scrubs.
Scrubs offer immediate tactile results and a feeling of smoother skin right after use. They're great for a quick refresh and can provide a satisfying scrubbing sensation.
A scrub such as the Ayumi Turmeric Face Scrub is usually cream-based, with the tiny particles inside it. This one is packed with bamboo powder to create the exfoliating effect, as well as papaya extract, avocado oil, shea butter, argan oil and bergamot oil to leave skin clean and smooth.
What you put into your scrub is important too, and a charcoal face scrub is in high demand. The Dr Organic Charcoal Face Scrub contains activated charcoal which eliminates dirt and impurities, giving a cleansing effect and leaving the skin feeling invigorated.
