If you're passionate about skincare, you've likely heard of ultrasonic skin scrubbers. These sleek, high-tech tools are praised for their ability to gently exfoliate, cleanse pores, and enhance the absorption of skincare products. But one question remains: how often should you use a skin scrubber?
The answer varies based on your skin type, condition, and the device you're using. In this article, we'll explore what skin scrubbers do, how to use them correctly, and how frequently you should incorporate one—like the TOUCHBeauty Glow—into your skincare routine.
What Is an Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber?
Unlike traditional scrubs that rely on physical exfoliation, an ultrasonic skin scrubber uses high-frequency vibrations to dislodge dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. These vibrations also stimulate micro-circulation and lymphatic drainage, offering a gentle yet powerful cleansing experience.
According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, ultrasonic therapy can improve skin texture and support collagen stimulation, especially when used consistently.
How Often Should You Use It Based on Your Skin Type?
1. Oily or Acne-Prone Skin
Those with excess sebum and clogged pores may benefit from using a skin scrubber 2–3 times a week. The device helps remove debris and prevent breakouts by deep-cleaning your pores. But don’t overuse it—stripping away too much oil can actually make your skin produce more.
2. Dry or Sensitive Skin
If you have dry, reactive, or sensitive skin, stick to once a week. Pair the scrubber with a hydrating mist or serum to maintain moisture and calm the skin. Overuse could lead to irritation and barrier disruption.
3. Normal or Combination Skin
For balanced skin, 1–2 times per week is ideal. Use the scrubber as part of your weekly exfoliation routine and adjust the frequency based on how your skin reacts.
Risks of Overusing a Skin Scrubber
Using a skin scrubber too often can cause:
- Redness and sensitivity
- Flaky or dry patches
- Increased breakouts due to a damaged barrier
According to Harvard Health Publishing, preserving your skin barrier is key to preventing inflammation and aging. Be gentle, and always let your skin guide your frequency.
When to Use a Skin Scrubber
For best results, use your device:
- After cleansing your face and optionally steaming to open pores
- Before applying serums or moisturizer, to enhance absorption
- In the evening, when your skin naturally regenerates
