Giving a safe oily skin scrub?

How much facial scrub do you want to give? I'd like to hear tips from people who have a lot of sebum on their face!

Thank you!

Hi! I’m a person with a lot of sebum and I used to use scrubs but quit years ago. Scrubs are not recommended anymore as they can wreak havoc on the skin barrier. The safer alternative to scrubs is a chemical exfoliant. I use a 1% Salycilic acid three times per week and it helps tremendously. Other options are SA 2%, Mandelic Acid, Lactic Acid, or AHAs. I wish you luck.

PS Also: Super important to use a sunscreen every day, especially if using an exfoliant to prevent the money you spend on the exfoliant from going down the drain.
