How often should I use this charcoal and mint facial scrub?

Fitocosmetic UGOL PROFF Charcoal & Mint Facial Scrub is formulated as an intensive cleansing step rather than a daily face wash. Because it contains mechanical exfoliants (the scrub particles) along with charcoal to bind impurities, overuse can compromise the skin barrier. For most skin types, using it 1 to 2 times per week is sufficient to remove dead surface cells and loosen pore build-up without causing irritation.

If you have oily skin or a congested T-zone, you might tolerate slightly more frequent use, but you should monitor how your skin reacts. If your skin is sensitive, reactive, or currently irritated, you should use extra caution or avoid mechanical exfoliants altogether during flare-ups. The goal is to help the skin feel smoother and look fresher, not to strip it. If you are using other strong actives like acids or retinoids, it is usually wiser to separate the scrub from those routines to prevent the skin from feeling overworked.
