Body Scrubs are a type of exfoliant that usually uses something coarse such as sugar or sea salt in order to remove dead skin cells. This helps your skin achieve a bright, glowing complexion while also preventing further breakouts of acne. Body scrubs are something that can benefit just about everyone with every type of skin. However, if you have a serious skin condition, take extra precautions by speaking with your dermatologist before trying a body scrub.
There are 4 main types of scrubs
- Sugar Scrubs: Sugar granules are less aggressive than salt, as they are rounder, making them a gentle exfoliant. Sugar is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known as glycolic acid. It eliminates the layer of dead skin before rejuvenating and rehydrating the new skin’s surface.
- Salt Scrubs: Most salt scrubs end up having grittier particles that help reach tougher areas that are particularly rough, such as the heel of your feet, knees, and elbows. Salt contains minerals that purify and draw out the gunk deep in your pores. It works to detox your skin and clears out impurities, creating the grounds for a rejuvenated, bright, glowing complexion that has a healthy circulation and consistent cell turnover.
- Combination Salt & Sugar Scrubs: If you’re struggling to decide between a salt or sugar scrub, consider trying mixing them! A salt and sugar combination scrub can give your skin the healing properties of each type of scrub. Combining the gentle nature of the sugar and the exfoliating properties of the salt will promote a healthy, glowing, buoyant surface layer of the skin.
- Coffee Scrubs: Like sugar, coffee is an excellent exfoliant and helps remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin feels soft and smooth. However the amazing thing about the coffee scrubs is it can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. The topical application of caffeine-containing ingredients aid in the dilation of blood vessels, which can improve blood flow and tighten the skin. While coffee scrubs won’t get rid of cellulite altogether, it doesn’t hurt to do the little extra to slow the process.
