Body scrubs rid you Of skin that's dry, scaly, and flaky. It is often caused by overexposure to either the heat or the cold. Body scrubs can be used once a week, although a few gentle ones can be used more often.

Ingredients

There are three main ingredients in body scrubs: exfoliates carrier oils, and essential oils. A exfoliate could consist of sea salt, ground almonds or wheat bran. Carrier oil could be grape-seed, hazelnut, or almond oil. An essential oil could be used for fragrance and healing.

 

This type of scrub has an oily base and coats the skin with emollient similar to baby oil. Since this scrub does leave a thin film on the skin, if you are the type who likes to leave the shower as clean as possible, then this is not the scrub for you. Salt is usually more abrasive than sugar and makes for more intense exfoliation.

The coarse grains are great rid of dead skin in tougher areas, like calluses on your feet. These body scrubs are usually the roughest kind, so they are best for those suffering from very dry and tough skin. If you are more sensitive, or your skin is just not dry, don't use these since they might cause more damage than improvement.
 

Salicylic Acid is a chemical exfoliate and safe for use all over. It is especially good at fighting acne. Since these body scrubs are usually milder, there is no guarantee that feet or other rough spots will see much improvement. Good to use after shaving to remove bumps and for before sunless tanning for an even streak free glow.


Body scrubs can either be just the grains of exfoliate or can also contain cleaning agents. If you are using body scrubs in addition to your daily cleaning routine then you do not need to look for body scrubs as a replacement for your body wash, then you should look for one that will both exfoliate and cleanse.
