I swear by terrycloth washcloths for this. Some people like to use fancy scrubs but the humble washcloth is so much more cost-effective.
interesting, I didn't know about the cloths, I have seen exfoliating brushes which is a similar idea I guess. I don't exactly have money so I don't wanna go crazy with expensive products so I should probably try physically exfoliating first
So generally physical abrasives on your face are less then ideal. Facial skin is far thinner and prone to damage then the rest of your body. I generally use whatever cheap chemical cleansing exfoliator product. AFAIK as long as it has salicylic acid in it your good to go. Just remember to use a moisturizer after cleansing as well as after shaving
Exfoliating and moisturizing the rest of your body is generally a good idea too and can feel free to use a physical abrasive . wash clothes, salux cloth, African netting thing are all perfectly fine just less so for your face.
