But many, unfortunately, do not see a big difference between peeling and scrub, although they differ in their effect. In order to understand what is best for you, you need to understand what exactly is scrub and peeling.
What are the differences between scrub and peeling?
Scrub is a peeling and smoothera remedy that is used for regular skin care. Its main functions are the removal of dead cells, various roughnesses, etc. After applying the scrub, the skin becomes smoother, tender and pleasant to the touch, and the pores are cleaned and opened, giving free access to oxygen. The scrub is based on a cream or gel, in which solid particles of medium size are added. It can be both natural and artificial grains. For example, crushed bones of some useful plants, crushed nuts, grains of coffee beans, etc. Wax granules or natural salt can also be used. Peeling is very similar to scrub. The fact is that both scrub and peeling help to clean the upper layers of the epidermis, giving the skin elasticity and freshness. However, the action of the peeling is aimed at rejuvenating the skin, resurfacing the scars, reducing the intensity of freckles and the brightness of the pigmentation, and other shortcomings. Before use, peeling should be tested on the back of the elbow, as various fruit acids are capable of causing allergic reactions. Scrubs and peelings differ not only in impact but also in consistency. Peeling is usually more liquid, gel-like, the particles in it are smaller than in the scrub. They do not scratch the skin so much, but the massage effect during peeling is less pronounced. Chemical peeling is also popular. This product is based on fruit acids. At home, this peeling is done with the help of sour apples, lemon juice, and berries. It is not recommended to do such procedures if the skin is prone to various allergic reactions, hypersensitivity to components, excessive rashes and pimples. Avoid the area around the eyes, since the skin there is very gentle and active peeling substances can cause swelling and swelling. Also scrub or peeling should not be used in the presence of fresh scars and strong irritation, and of course with skin diseases. It is better to wait until the skin comes to a normal state, and only then proceed to cosmetology procedures. It is not advisable to use these remedies during a cold, as the skin becomes especially sensitive to external irritants, which are scrubs. 
By the method of application, scrubs and peelings also differ
