What is the difference between face wash and facial scrub?

a facial wash is smooth, usually cream textured. Facial scrubs have some kind of grit in them that is used to exfoliate more dead skin cells than a wash. If you have skin that is prone to break outs, most dermatologist recommend using a face wash only, not a scrub. Face scrubs can irritate the skin and make it more prone to break outs.What is the difference between face wash and facial scrub?

What is the difference between face wash and facial scrub?
Face wash cleans oil/dirt from your face by using chemicals such as soap. (Uses a solvent to dissolve the dirt/oil)





Facial scrub cleans oil/dirt from your face by using exfoliants, such as ground up walnut shells or microbeads. (Uses small rough particles to scrape away oil/dirt %26amp; dead skin)
A facial scrub has some kind of grainy stuff in it to exfoliate the skin and to clear the pores better than the regular face wash. Regular face wash doesn't have the scrubbies. It's a good thing to use a facial scrub at least once a week. It will keep your skin nice and soft. You should try Bert's bees peach facial scrub, too. Since I've been using that my skin has been amazing. :-)
a face wash is used instead of a soap. it keeps da skin soft unlike soaps. wheras a facial scrub is used 2 deeply cleanse da skin. it brings a glow 2 da skin.face scrub shud b used only once in a week.
A facial scrub has grit in it to clean the stuff out of your pores and remove dead skin. Face wash lacks that, but it is not as drying as bath soap.
lol Love the name. Facial wash just washes the surface of your skin. A scrub has microbeads which exfoliate (removes dead skin on the surface) of your face.
A face wash washes dirt from the surface of your skin but a facial scrub removes dead skin from your face, leaving behind new, smooth skin after that. However, facial scrubs should only be used at most twice a week as using it unecessarily would removes good skin and would cause harm to it.
A wash is generally clear and watery, makes lather and has some kind of soap and/or salycilic acid.





Facial scrubs are thick, creamy and have a grainy texture. They are used to exfoliate (get rid of dead skin cells) and do not do a very good job of cleaning the skin, so you need a wash too.
Facial scrubs are a little harsher-they contain exfoliants which help remove dead skin. face wash can be used daily, whereas a scrub should only be used once or twice a week.
Face wash cleanses your skin. A facial scrub also exfoliates. You only should use a facial scrub about once a week, using it too often can damage your skin.
facal wash comes in a cream or foam and is for cleansing. a scrub has exfoliant beads in it and is for bumping all the dead skin cells off your face to uncover you new beautiful layer of skin, and helps to prevent acne and blackheads, because that dead skin sitting over top of your pores is what traps dirt in your pores in the first place.
Also, if you have acne or sensitive skin be sure to use a scrub with beads, rather than chunks of rough exfoliators (Like St. Ives Apricot Scrub). I like the Neutrogena Deep Clean Daily Scrub- it's really gentle and gets the job done.
wash is light on the face and scrub feels like graining substance on skin which removes top dead layer of skin.
Face wash is more like soap.Face scrub is more abrasive and normally has some kind of sea salt for scrubbing.
face wash cleans your face.


face scrub exfoliates (helps get rid of dead skin) as it cleans but can irritate acne
