What does a body scrub do?

Your skin produces new skin cells throughout the day. Most dead skin cells are shed during showering or through friction from your clothing. But not all dead skin cells disappear from your skin. This can lead to clogged pores and the formation of pimples and ingrown hairs. A bodyscrub helps your skin to exfoliate and look soft and fresh again!

In addition, a scrub is an excellent preparation for other skincare products, such as lotions or creams. By using a scrub, the active ingredients are better absorbed, which can improve the effectiveness of your skincare routine.

How to use a body scrub?

Step 1: Start by taking a warm shower or bath. This will open your pores and make it easier to remove dead skin cells.

Step 2: Take a small amount of scrub in your palm and apply it to your damp skin.

Step 3: Gently massage the scrub into your skin with circular motions. Start at your feet and work your way up. Pay extra attention to rough areas like your elbows, knees, and heels. Be careful around sensitive areas like your neck and armpits.

Step 4: Rinse the scrub thoroughly to remove any granules from your skin. Use a soft towel to pat your skin dry.

Step 5: After scrubbing, always apply a moisturizing cream or oil to prevent your skin from drying out.

Extra tips:

  • Don't scrub too often to avoid irritating your skin. 1 to 2 times a week is often sufficient.
  • Avoid scrubbing irritated or damaged skin, such as wounds, eczema patches, or sunburned skin.
  • Planning to tan? It's better to scrub your skin the evening before rather than just before heading into the sun.
  • Using a self-tanner? After scrubbing is also a good time to use a self-tanner. Your skin is now extra smooth, allowing you to achieve a more even effect.
