What is the difference between a facial cleanser and a facial scrub?

I heard that you are supposed to use the scrub twice a week, so when you use it, do you use cleanse, then scrub, or just scrub?What is the difference between a facial cleanser and a facial scrub?
A cleanser is used to get off all the oil and dirt that gets in your skin and eventually finds its way into your pours. A scrub will normally have tiny beads that help open the clogged pores and help remove any dirt that the cleanser did not already get off.





when you get out of the shower and your skin is still moist, use an OIL FREE cleaner followed by a scrub, if needed.





if you use a scrub more than 2 times a weak, your skin will get too dry, so watch out!What is the difference between a facial cleanser and a facial scrub?
Scrubs are basically to remove dead skin. They have some rough powder in them, thats why u use them once or twice a week. Recommended if you have lots of whiteheads or blackheads.





Cleanser is just to remove dirt and oil from your skin, you can use it twice a day.





You don't need to use cleanser and scrub at same time coz the scrub will clean your face anyway.





Use both of them sincerely to have a fresh looking face.
The scrub has little beads in it or something like that, those will scrub away dead skin, keeping it fresh. The cleanser just cleans it. So if you want a deeper clean, scrub, then cleanse, so your not just washing dead skin, you are getting to the acual skin that NEEDS cleansing. Do what I just descrived twice a week, otherwise just cleanse like twice a day. x)
A scrub is meant to slough off dead skin that can clog pores, but is not usually astringent. A cleanser usually is astringent (closes pores) and is meant to clean surface dirt, makeup or any chemical residues from your face.
A scrub sometimes has more beads to help take away and exfoliate dead skin. A cleanser tends to remove make up, dirt, and other surface issues on your face.





I use Clean and Clear Blackhead scrub which actually has both. I love it.
the cleanser is safe for everyday use, the scrub not so much. I like to use the scrub a lot because it helps with my white and black heads, facial cleansers are too gentle for me.
Scrubs are awesome. They make your skin baby soft, and clear everything bad off your skin.


Cleansers are usually just pure liquid.
A cleanser gets all the nasty stuff off of your face while a scrub exfoliates as well as cleanses.
Cleansers are more gentle use a scrub once a week and on the other days use a cleanser
just scrub.. its like sponging your face.. with those lil beads
