Give yourself a body scrub! Your body works hard for you and it deserves it!
A body scrub is a treatment which exfoliates the skin on your body leaving it feeling fresh, smooth, moisturised and soft. An abrasive product is rubbed vigorously, and massaged across and into your skin, and is then rinsed away to reveal a moisturised layer of fresh, clean and smooth skin.
There are many benefits to a body scrub or polish. A body scrub will exfoliate your skin, sloughing off dead skin cells and rubbing away hard and flaky skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. Scrubs usually include an oily base which moisturises and soothes your skin as it is scrubbed.
A scrub can be really invigorating as well, and improve the circulation of blood and lymph to the surface of the skin, helping to fight cellulite and improve your skin tone.
Exfoliation will stimulate the microcirculation, thus improving the detoxification, facilitate the penetration of cosmetics applied and spread the benefits of body treatments that are applied afterwards (Slimming products, self tanning …)
It is very important to do regularly exfoliation in winter season (2 to 3 times a week for less sensitive skin) when the skin is aggressed by the cold and dry climate. Before leaving on vacation, it is very important to do a scrub so we can get a uniform tan and better quality to keep it longer!
During the summer careful not to use a scrub too abrasive for not sensitize the skin to the sun and of course do not exfoliate a skin with sunburn!
