How to choose products

Your over-the-counter (OTC) options are endless. There are scrubs for your face, body, and feet. You can also find options for different skin types.

Here are some things to keep in mind when selecting a product:

• Check the scope. You should never use a scrub meant for your body on your face. Body scrubs are generally harsher and may tear delicate facial tissue.
• Use one product at a time. Although it may be tempting to buy a full set of a products, you shouldn’t use more than one exfoliant at a time. Using multiple exfoliating products on the same area of skin can damage the skin and result in unwanted side effects.
• Switch products out. You may need to cycle through different products as your skin care needs change. For example: If your skin has become oily, consider using a product with charcoal.
