How do you know if a body scrub is good?
A good body scrub will use non-toxic ingredients that are kind to your skin and will use natural exfoliants such as salt, or sugar.
The fine, coarse qualities of natural ingredients are enough to remove dead skin cells without using manufactured or synthetic ingredients.
What is the best way to use Body Scrubs?
First, rinse your skin in warm water. You can use a muslin cloth or flannel for this.
Next, rub a small amount of body scrub between your hands and massage over your body.
Rub the body scrub in gentle, circular motions with either your hand or an exfoliating glove.
Scrub your skin for no longer than 30 seconds.
Rinse liberally with warm water.
If you want to shave, shave afterwards (exfoliation lifts dirt and dead skin cells out of the way, allowing for the blade to glide more smoothly over the skin)
Wash your skin using your regular body wash or soap.
Pat your skin dry with a towel.
Apply a moisturizer if you wish.
How long can you use Body Scrubs?
You shouldn’t use a body scrub every day; exfoliation can be harsh on the skin, and over-exfoliation can damage the skin cells and prevent natural restoration.
You don’t want to overly strip the skin of moisture, or compromise the skin barrier. Aim to use body scrub 1-2 times a week.
