These 13 Facial Scrubs Will Clean Your Dirty, Gunk-Filled Pores

DID YOU know that right now, as you read this, there are dead skin cells just hanging out on your face? It sounds gross (because it kind of is), but it’s also a fact of life. Your skin regenerates every 28 days, so its cells are constantly dying off and getting pushed to the surface. The bad news is that even though they’re supposed to fall off naturally, they can often stick around, which leads to dull, flaky skin, clogged pores, blackheads and more. The good news is that you can help this process along with an exfoliator.

Exfoliating removes the dead skin cells that get caught on the surface of your skin. The result is a clearer, smoother, and brighter complexion. And you don’t even have to do it every day! Most men only need to exfoliate about twice a week. There are a few different kinds of exfoliators, but the easiest to use is a scrub, which offers mechanical exfoliation by way of beads or granules to physically remove the dead cells from your skin’s surface. Use one of these 13 best face scrubs for men and you’re on your way to a smoother, clearer face.
