How Often Should You Scrub? Face vs Body Routine for Pakistani Skin
“Roz scrub karna chahiye ya week mein sirf 2 dafa?” — most Pakistani girls are confused. Over-scrubbing can damage your barrier, while under-scrubbing leaves tan, dullness and texture. This guide explains how often to use face & body scrubs safely using Rice, Ubtan & Apricot.
Why Scrub Frequency Matters
Pakistan’s weather swings between heat, humidity and pollution. Dead cells + sweat + dust = clogged pores, tan and dull skin. Scrubs remove this buildup — but too much scrubbing can cause redness, sensitivity and breakouts.
Quick Guide — How Often to Scrub
- Normal / Combination face: 2–3× per week
- Oily face (blackheads, pollution): 2–3× per week (gentle pressure)
- Dry / Sensitive face: 1–2× per week
- Body (arms, legs, back): 2–3× per week
- Hands & feet: 2–3× per week or before events
- Underarms & sensitive areas: 1–2× per week with a dedicated gentle scrub
How Often to Scrub Your Face
Your facial skin is thinner and more sensitive than your body. That’s why the right product + frequency is important.
Use Rice Whitening Scrub for gentle brightening and glow. Focus on T-zone and dull areas, avoid harsh rubbing.
Alternate between Rice Scrub (for glow) and Ubtan Scrub (for detox) depending on tan and buildup.
Use Apricot Scrub with very light pressure. Immediately follow with hydrating serum and moisturizer.
How Often to Scrub Your Body
Your body can handle a little more scrubbing than your face, especially areas exposed to sun and dust.
- Arms, neck, back, legs: 2–3× per week with Ubtan Scrub (de-tan) or Rice Scrub (brightening).
- Very dry or rough areas (knees, elbows): 2–3× per week with Apricot Scrub.
Hands, Feet & Sensitive Areas
- Hands & Feet: 2–3× per week with Hand & Foot Brightening Scrub, especially before events.
- Underarms & Sensitive Areas: 1–2× per week max with Whitening Scrub for Underarms & Sensitive Areas.
Roman-Urdu tip: “Sensitive areas pe hamesha gentle scrub use karein, aur week mein sirf 1–2 dafa.”
Common Scrub Mistakes to Avoid
- Scrubbing every single day (especially face)
- Using too much pressure or “rubbing till red”
- Skipping moisturizer and sunscreen after exfoliation
- Using body-level pressure on delicate facial skin
Simple Weekly Scrub Plan
- 2–3 days (face & body): Rice or Ubtan Scrub depending on tan/dullness
- 1–2 days (rough areas): Apricot Scrub on dry/rough spots
- Hands & feet: Hand & Foot Brightening Scrub before occasions
- Underarms/sensitive: Brightnix Scrub 1–2× per week only
