The Benefits of a Body Scrub
Body scrubs are a mechanical exfoliation. This means that they physically remove dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin with abrasive ingredients, these ingredients are usually sugar or salt. This process stimulates skin turnover which makes the skin smoother, brighter and sometimes preventing acne breakouts.
Once dead skin cells and dirt have been removed, it allows creams and moisturises to penetrate the deeper layer of your skin and absorb much better. This will make your skin feel more hydrated and softer, giving it a healthy glow.
Depending on your skin type, body scrubs may not work well for you. Body scrubs do not always need to shop brought, you can make your own body scrubs at home.
Its is good to exfoliate 2/3 times a week, you do not want to exfoliate everyday as this can cause the skin to become dry, sensitive and irritated. Body scrubs are also very beneficial before going on holiday as it removes of all the dead skin cells, allowing the skin to get a healthy and even tan.
