How often should a bodyscrub be used?

Question

does it depend on your skin type? I use a homemade scrub using sugar, lemon juice, honey and almond or olive oil once a week. I'd like to use it more often, but I'm afraid I'll cause damage to my skin from to much exfoliation. Please do tell, thanks.

Is using lemon juice harmful to your skin?

What is the purpose of using lemon juice?

Answer 1

Twice a week will be fine. There's no need to do it more often.

Answer 2

if your skin is oily, i suggest you scrub 3 times a week. but DON'T scrub to hard. if your skin is fine, just once or twice a week is good. and lemon juice is baaad for the skin if used too much, it dries it up like crazy! just remember though, after using a product with lemon juice on your skin, use a moisturizing lotion immediately after you rinse, while skin is damp. it helps the skin seal more of the moisture.

Answer 3

the ingredients u r using are quite moisturizing, like almond/olive oil and honey. unless u have very dry skin, if not, 2 times is enough for a week.

Answer 4

since its homemade,i would say twice a week,and i would suggest that you could add some flowers to your scrubs,by the way,try to lay low in your lemon juice,

Answer 5

just once a week.
too much use of bodyscrub may remove your skin's natural protection. exfoliating not just removes dead skin cells but also skin lipids.
lipids are important for a healthy skin.

and dont forget to use moisturizer after scrubing.

Answer 6

you can use it alternate day.
