1. Residual build up

Although face washes are great at removing superficial build up, they are not as effective at digging out the grime that's deeper in your skin. Because of its unique formula, a face scrub can really dig down and eliminate any remaining buildup that could mar your otherwise perfect complexion.

2. A better shave


Face scrubs designed for men can help prepare your skin for shaving. In turn, you will get a closer shave without the annoying side effects that can often plague men. Ingrown hair and razor burns will become things of the past once you start using a face scrub regularly.

3. Exfoliating beads

4. Acne-fighting ingredients

A face scrub features one of the strongest anti-acne weapons -- salicylic acid. This ingredient can help make acne breakouts disappear quickly. Your skin will never be clearer.

5. Anti-aging properties

Regular use of a face scrub will help you look younger and remove under eye bags and fine lines. Although you may be tempted to use this product every day to maximise results, don't do it. Because of its deep-cleansing properties, use of a face scrub twice a week is highly recommended.
