The Benefits of Body Scrubbing

Dead skin cells are removed by body scrubs, and as a result, these benefits are provided below:

• Moisturizing products absorb better on the skin when they are applied. A moisturizer applied after exfoliating the skin will better penetrate the skin because dead skin cells are removed.
• Ingrown hairs are prevented by unclogging pores.
• You can expect smoother and more even skin after using these products.

How to use

Making your own body scrub is not particularly complicated. Following are some basic step-by-step instructions (with tips from Top Level Spa):

• Cleanse your skin thoroughly by washing it with warm water.
• Massage the scrub into your skin using your fingertips.
• Using circular movements, scrub your hands and feet from the outside in.
• Be sure to rinse your hands and feet with warm water.
• You can also shave if you’d like.
• Allow the skin to remain slightly damp when dry.
• Apply moisturizer. You can trap moisture in your skin by applying moisturizer while it is still damp.
