Body scrubs are the top of the cherry in the skincare world. They are sensory delight that removes skin’s buildup and dead cells while smoothing and hydrating the dermis in a flash, leaving the skin feeling like a baby but brighter and healthier.
Exfoliation is key if you are suffering from dry skin, particularly on elbows and knees, where the oil glands are almost none, meaning more skin buildup. Your moisturisers and favourite body oils penetrate deeper and let’s be honest, some of them are made with fabulous ingredients that make the whole showering moment ten times more pleasant.

General FAQ
Are body scrubs good for your body
Body scrubs and body exfoliants are great for removing dead skin cells and allowing your skin to absorb moisturisers better. They also unclog pores and prevent ingrown hairs. So exfoliating the body 1-2 times a week is really good if you want to achieve baby skin.
Do you use soap after body scrub?
When having the shower, use your body wash or shower gel before applying the body scrub. Like this, you can guarantee your skin is clean and ready for the body scrub to do the job.
