Don't use anything harsh, like the St. Ive's apricot scrub-the granules are way too big and shouldn't be used on your face. I'd recommend getting a scrub with tiny grains, like Neutrogena Fresh Foaming scrub..another good one is from Aveeno, which is a bit pricey. Try looking for something gentle, that's good for your skin type--e.g. if you have oily, acne-prone skin, there are also scrubs for that. If you have sensitive or normal skin, I'd steer clear of harsher scrubs.
You should exfoliate max. 3 times a week, and cleanse twice a day, morning and night. Some people cleanse once a day, before going to bed...and only splash water on their face in the morning. Depending on the person, I'd say it's better to cleanse twice a day. As for the scrub, it doesn't matter if you exfoliate in the morning or at night-it's a matter of preference.
