Face scrubs

Mechanical face scrubs have a bad reputation — mostly earned, because most mass-market versions use jagged plastic micro-beads or roughly-cut walnut shells that micro-tear the skin barrier. The clean alternative isn't to abandon physical exfoliation; it's to choose better formulations. Finely-milled rice powder, jojoba beads, oat colloidal — these refine texture without compromising the skin underneath.

Botā's edit of face scrubs prioritises gentle, properly-formulated physical exfoliants. We also curate chemical exfoliants — AHA and BHA-led treatments for resurfacing, brightening, and pore refinement — for routines where physical scrubs aren't ideal. Every product passes the Botā Clean Standard.

Use once or twice a week, on damp skin, with light pressure — never daily. Pair with hydrating serums applied straight after exfoliation, when skin is most receptive. For concerns rooted in surface texture and dull tone, see our dullness and glow edit.
