Everything You Need To Know About Body Scrub

Body scrubs have been around for a while, but quite a variety has emerged over the years, including those made of coffee, apricot,salt, and sugar and many more .You may even have a few of them hanging out in your bathroom cabinet right now.Whether or not you’ve tried one before, you may wonder what benefits, if any, are associated with body scrubs.Aside from making your skin feel super-smooth, body scrubs have quite a few other benefits.

Body scrubs remove dead skin cells, and so provide several benefits:

• They allow your skin to absorb moisturizer better. By doing dead skin cell buildup, any moisturizer applied afterward will soak into the skin more thoroughly.
• They unclog pores and prevent ingrown hairs. By regularly using a body scrub, you’ll unclog your pores, which can prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
• They leave your skin smoother and more even. When dry skin isn’t removed, it makes the skin rough to the touch and has a dull, cracked texture and appearance. By removing the dead, dry cells, you should have smoother and more even skin.

Here’s a quick step-by-step guide (including a few tips):

1. Rinse your skin with warm water.
2. Apply the scrub with your fingertips.
3. Scrub your hands and feet in a circular motion and move inward.
4. Rinse thoroughly using warm water.
5. Shave, if desired.
6. Pat skin dry, leaving it slightly damp.
7. Apply moisturizer. Putting on moisturizer while your skin is still damp will trap in the moisture

Pro-tip: Don’t overuse it. Too much of a good thing can be true when it comes to body scrubs. Use twice a week at most. For sensitive skin maybe use once a week to avoid dry irritated skin.
