The Health and Beauty Benefits of a Body Scrub

 

A scrub works in a few ways: As you massage it over your body, the exfoliating granules help to slough off dead skin, and the rubbing action itself boostscirculation and helps drain your lymph nodes, by increasing blood flow to the skin’s surface. Plus, after all that deep cleansing work in the shower, your post-wash moisturizer will be better able to soothe and hydrate your skin.

 

Importance of Body Scrubbing

 

Scrubbing your body can remove the layer of dead skin cells in your body.

This process can reveal the fresh, clean, and rejuvenated skin hidden under the layers of grime, sweat, and dead skin cells that have accumulated during your daily activities.

Without a regular body scrub, the skin can become darker than its normal coloring and it may look dull or dirty even after taking a bath or a shower. It can also become dry, itchy and flaky. Body scrubbing can make the skin soft and supple, revitalized and invigorated.

Be careful not to over scrub. Though your body skin is heartier than the skin on your face, it is susceptible to irritation. Always moisturize after you’ve dried off for smooth, nourished skin.

 

When Not to Use a Body Scrub?

 

If you have a sunburn or are experiencing a rash or other skin condition, give the body scrub a rest. Some of the ingredients and the actual rubbing could further irritate your skin. You’ll also want to skip it after shaving if your scrub contains salt or any chemical ingredients.
