Scrubs have a long history in skincare routines, but not all scrubs are created equal. Some can be too harsh, others don’t deliver meaningful results, and a few simply don’t fit into a modern, evidence-based approach to skincare. That’s why our team has formulated a scrub that works with your skin – not against it. The Austin Skin Charcoal Exfoliator offers the purifying, pore-clearing benefits of activated charcoal combined with exfoliation that’s polished, balanced, and kind to your skin barrier.
Before we dive into what makes this product so exciting, let’s take a moment to address a few common myths about scrubs. “We know great skincare comes from not only the right products, but also the right knowledge,” says Dr Austin.
Misconceptions about Scrubs
Despite evidence to the contrary, some myths about scrubs continue to circulate. Don’t be fooled.
Lie #1: All scrubs damage your skin
This is one of the biggest misconceptions out there. Some scrubs are made with sharp, irregular particles (crushed shells or abrasive beads) that can cause micro-tears and irritation – it’s true. What is also true, however, is not every scrub is harmful. Well-formulated scrubs can provide safe, effective exfoliation. It’s all about the ingredients, texture, and frequency of use. The Austin Skin Charcoal Exfoliator has been formulated with finely milled, skin-friendly exfoliating agents that smooth without scratching.
Lie #2: Exfoliation is unnecessary if you cleanse properly.
Not true. Cleansing removes dirt, oil, and impurities on the surface of your skin, but it doesn’t take care of the dead skin cells that naturally build up. These cells can leave your complexion looking dull, clog pores, and make it harder for serums and moisturisers to penetrate effectively. A good scrub complements your cleanser by removing this buildup, revealing fresher, more radiant skin.
Lie #3: Scrubs are only for oily or acne-prone skin.
Wrong again. While oily skin types often love the refreshing feel of a scrub, dry and sensitive skin can also benefit, provided the scrub is gentle and well-suited to the skin. The key is balance. Our charcoal exfoliator has been designed to respect all skin types by combining detoxifying charcoal with hydrating, soothing components to leave skin feeling clean but not stripped.
Lie #4: Exfoliation should be done daily.
This is where people often go wrong. Over-exfoliation can disrupt your skin barrier, leading to redness, sensitivity, and breakouts. “The truth is, most skin types only need a scrub one to three times per week, depending on individual concerns,” says Dr. Austin. “Our clinic team will be happy to guide you on the best frequency for your skin.”
Activated Charcoal: The Secret Sauce of Our Exfoliator
Activated charcoal has been used for centuries in various healing and purifying traditions. In skincare, it’s prized for its ability to draw out impurities, excess oil, and pollutants that your skin encounters every day. By combining activated charcoal with gentle exfoliants, the Austin Skin Charcoal Exfoliator works on two levels:
- Detoxifying action: Charcoal acts like a magnet for dirt and oil, leaving pores clearer and skin fresher.
- Refining action: Exfoliation smooths the skin’s surface, promoting a more even texture and enhancing your natural glow.
The result? Skin that feels polished, renewed, and ready to absorb the benefits of your serums and moisturisers.
