Benefits of Using a Body Scrub

• Exfoliates dead skin cells, clearing the way for fresh, healthy skin to surface.
• Boosts blood circulation, supporting cell regeneration and promoting a natural glow.
• Preps the skin for moisturising by clearing buildup, allowing body butters or body lotions to penetrate deeper.
• Improves tone and texture, helping reduce the appearance of uneven patches or bumps.
• Helps manage keratosis pilaris or rough elbows and knees with consistent use.

With regular use, body scrubs for dry skin can dramatically improve hydration retention and overall skin smoothness.

Different Types of Body Scrubs

• Salt Scrubs: Offer intense exfoliation, ideal for tough, rough patches but may be too abrasive for sensitive skin.
• Sugar Scrubs: A gentler option, perfect for sensitive or dry skin. Melts with water for a softening effect.
• Coffee Scrubs: Great for improving circulation and reducing the appearance of cellulite.
• Enzyme-Based Scrubs: Use fruit enzymes to dissolve dead skin without physical particles, ideal for very sensitive skin types.

Each shower exfoliator type has a unique benefit — experiment to find the best match for your skin's needs.

How to Choose the Right Body Scrub & Exfoliator

Not all body scrubs are created equal — here’s how to find your perfect exfoliator:

• Sensitive Skin: Go for creamy sugar scrubs or enzyme-based formulas that gently slough off dead cells without causing irritation.
  

• Dry Skin: Choose scrubs enriched with moisturising oils and follow with a body butter.

• Rough or Bumpy Skin: Look for scrubs with coarser grains like salt or coffee to help resurface and refine texture.
  

• Normal Skin to Oily Skin: Gel-based or citrus-infused scrubs help refresh and clarify.
  

Match your choice to your skin type and your goals — whether it’s glow, smoothness, or softness, we’ve got the right scrub for the job.

How To Use Body Scrubs

Using a body scrub correctly ensures maximum benefit and minimal irritation. Follow these expert steps:

• Start in a warm shower: Let the water soften your skin and open your pores for better exfoliation.
• Apply to damp skin: Scoop your chosen scrub and massage in circular motions — pay attention to rough areas like elbows, knees, and feet.
• Rinse thoroughly: Wash away the scrub completely and pat skin dry gently — no rubbing.
• Moisturise immediately: Follow up with a nourishing body yogurt, body lotion, or body butter to seal in hydration.

How often should you use a body scrub?
2–3 times a week for most, once a week for sensitive skin. Avoid overuse to protect the skin barrier.
