Benefits Of Using A Body Scrub

[row][one_fourth]

Pro Tip:

Never exfoliate more than twice a week. This will prevent you from over-exfoliating the skin causing surface abrasions. Also, try to use body scrubs where the exfoliant can dissolve into the skin or do not have abrasive points. Any products using nuts as an exfoliant may be too harsh for most skin types.

As warmer weather approaches, it’s time scrub away the dullness of winter. What better way to do that than with a body scrub.

Body scrubs have several benefits for your skin. They work effectively using a natural exfoliant to gently scrub away at dead dry skin cells. This process helps to rejuvenate the skin. In addition to that, the oils in these scrubs help with retaining moisture in the skin.  Who doesn’t want healthy hydrated skin? I know I do! There are several types of body scrubs on the market that use salt, sugar, coffee grounds, and even rice bran to exfoliate dead skin. I prefer using sugar scrubs due to the natural humectant (a substance that locks in moisture) properties of sugar. [/three_fourths][/row]

Don’t know where to start your body scrub journey? Try one of these products below:

Money To Blow?

One of my favorite sugar scrubs is [amazon_textlink asin=’B000Z5Y4S4′ text=’Fresh’s Brown Sugar Body Polish‘ template=’ProductLink’ store=’bobbypen-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’e3028561-01bd-11e8-b86a-03a47721cdd0′]. This scrub is composed of pure brown sugar blended with several hydrating oils (almond, jojoba, orange, and grapefruit oil) designed to invigorate and hydrate the skin. I love the citrus notes in this scrub. Also, this scrub is super easy to apply and not extremely messy. To enhance this exfoliation experience follow my pro tip at the bottom of this page. My only downside on this body exfoliant is its high price point of $65 but, I assure you this product is definitely worth every penny.

 On A Budget?

Don’t have $65 dollars to spare? This alternative, Aureila Zierre Sugar Scrubs is as effective without hurting your pockets.

This paraben-free body scrub uses natural ingredients to gently exfoliate the skin while adding hydration. Comprised of finely milled sugar and several hydrating oils (Grape Seed, Red Palm, Coconut, and Peppermint Oil just to name a few) this scrub will leave your skin feeling super soft.

Available in four scents: Honeysuckle Mint, Coconut Jasmine, Lavender, and Vanilla Peppermint; I’m certain you will find one to awaken your senses. My personal favorite is the vanilla peppermint.

My only qualm with this product is that it’s a little messy but, follow my pro tips below to avoid spilling sweetness everywhere. With prices ranging from $5 to $20 and 10% of proceeds going to several charities in DC, I certain you want to give this brand a try.

Pro Tip:

Trying pairing these products with [amazon_textlink asin=’B00BVLLVZ0′ text=’Soap And Glory Super Exfoliating Scrub Gloves‘ template=’ProductLink’ store=’bobbypen-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=”] to keep the scrub exactly where you want it. Want a more invigorating exfoliation experience? Apply these scrubs to dry skin before you shower. This will ensure more dry skin is exfoliated away.  Remember to exfoliate before using self tanner.
