Can I use a body scrub on my face?

Short answer: No, you should not use a body scrub on your face.

Detailed answer

Body scrubs are generally formulated with larger, more abrasive exfoliating particles which can be too harsh for the delicate skin on your face. The skin on your face is more sensitive and prone to damage, so it requires a gentler exfoliation. Facial scrubs are specifically designed for facial skin and have finer particles that are suitable for the face. Using a body scrub on your face can cause irritation, redness, and even tiny tears in the skin. It's best to use products that are specifically formulated for the face to ensure proper care and avoid any potential skin damage.
