Q Since a week ago i began to make scrub by myself: as i read on the web, a natural way to do it is with lemon and sugar. Ive done it twice a day since today, when, yesterday, my cheeks became terribly red, and now i have a red spot on my cheek, like a burning. Why...? Please answer.
Scrubbing is an abrasive procedure and must be done only once a week. The movement should be gentle and slow. Over-scrubbing can damage the skin layers and cause inflammation. Moreover, sugar scrubs should be used only on the body and not on the face. You may instead buy a specially formulated face scrub and use it sparingly and gently.
