You must be familiar with body scrubs, right?
A body scrub is a skin care product that mechanically removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.
A scrub itself usually comes from a combination of sugar or salt mixed in an oil or gel base.
Here Gaya Spa has summarized the benefits of body scrubs and how to use them, let's see!
Reported from the Sand & Sky page, there are five benefits of using body scrubs regularly.
1. Removes Dead Skin Cells
Body scrubs contain exfoliating ingredients that can help remove dead skin cells, so that the skin becomes softer, smoother, and more elastic.
2. Cleans Pores
In addition to removing dead skin cells, body scrubs also play an important role in improving the health and appearance of our skin.
A body scrub is able to cleanse the skin more effectively, prevent clogged pores, and help prevent acne from appearing on the surface of the skin.
3. Moisturizes the Skin
Another benefit of using a body scrub is that it makes the skin look more moisturized.
As a result, the skin will feel softer, smoother, and look healthier.
How to Use a Body Scrub
1. Use warm water
Use warm water for 5-10 minutes to prepare and soften the skin for the exfoliation process.
Do not use hot water, because hot water can be too harsh for the skin.
2. Apply Body Scrub
Take a small amount of body scrub in the palm of your hand, then apply enough to the skin that is still damp and rub in a circular motion.
Apply the body scrub starting from the feet and up towards the heart to increase circulation.
Rub the skin for no more than 30 seconds or according to the instructions on the product label.
3. Rinse
After you have finished scrubbing each part of the body, it's time to rinse it with warm water.
Do a massage movement all over the body, so that we can remove all the exfoliation particles when you rinse it.
4. Use Moisturizer
For maximum results, you can apply moisturizer such as lotion, body butter, or moisturizer while the skin is still slightly damp after bathing.
