Is it necessary to use things like facial creams and scrubs? What's the point?

I always hear of girls using ';apricot facial scrubs'; or ';honey facials'; and stuff like that. Why do you need facials and facial creams, what do they do for you? Isn't it alright NOT to use them?Is it necessary to use things like facial creams and scrubs? What's the point?
It really just depends on your skin. Some people are born with amazing genetics and therefore have amazing skin. These are the people who could fall asleep with pounds upon pounds of makeup on their face and wake up eight hours later and not have any blemishes.


Other people have band skin genes, and therefore have to do more work to keep their face looking healthy and vibrant.


Facial cremes are supposed to open up your pores, but many clog them if you're not careful. Then you get the reverse effect: instead of clear, beautiful skin, you get bumpy, irritated skin.


Harsh soaps can irritate your skin too, hence the special facial cremes and soaps.


Scrubs remove the dead skin cells and exfoliate your skin, which helps makeup go on smoother and makes your skin look and feel healthier. However, skin is very dry and prone to irritation after exfoliation, which is another reason for all the skin cremes.Is it necessary to use things like facial creams and scrubs? What's the point?
A lot of these things are good for like a girl's day out at the spa. They can be used to help you relax and relieve stress, but also using natural ingredients will clean out deep down in your pores, so they can be helpful too. And yes, it's alright not to use them-I never do.
I've always wondered that too. I don't think they make much of a difference. My sister has fabulous skin and all she uses is face wipes and moisturiser. I've tried lots of products but what I've found has made the most difference to my skin is drinking lots of water, eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep and exercise. Stress also plays a big part in how your skin looks.
Facials cleanse skin, scrubs remove dead skin cells.





Thats what they are meant to do but whether they actually make a diffrence I don't know.
