How many people scrub their face?

I've heard that scrubbing your face is really bad for it,because it produces more oil,etc. But I find that if I don't lightly scrub my face with a wash cloth at least once a day my skin becomes flaky and itchy, anyone have any ideas on this?

I scrub my skin with those oil of olay daily facial cloths and that's the only thing keeping my skin clean.

I like the apricot scrub from St. Ives. Exfoliates very nicely, has salicylic acid, and has kept my skin looking great. I use it every night.

I use Clinique Exfoliating Scrub. It's more expensive but I find that it's worth it because it is more concentrated with granules than most other scrubs I've used. I find myself using less product and my face feels smoother. Also, the granule particles are the perfect size and I find it much less irritating than using other scrubs or products like baking soda. The formulation is not moisturizing or greasy, which I like, because I have oily skin.

Re: How many people scrub their face?

I just started a daily scrub. Lately, my skin has been SUPER dry and flaky (I think it's due to a combo of the Spironolactone I'm on and the dry, cold, winter air). I'm using Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub (just a tiny bit, very gently), and I'm liking it a lot! No irritation, and it gently sloughs off the dead skin. I'm defintiely planning on trying out more of Aveeno's products (maybe I'll start using one of their daily moisturizers!).
