A delicious body scrub exfoliates and softens the skin and can be used on all skin types.

A good scrub removes dead skin cells, opens the pores, and leaves the skin clear, silky-soft, radiant, and smooth.

5 great things about body scrubs:

1. A body scrub exfoliates the skin

2. A body scrub removes dead skin cells

3. A body scrub softens the skin

4. A body scrub reduces blemish-prone skin

5. A body scrub increases blood circulation

Exfoliation

The exfoliating effect in a body scrub comes from the small grains of, for example, salt or sugar, which gently massage the skin. Just as it is good to occasionally exfoliate the skin on your face, use good hair products, and care for your nails and feet, it is also important to remember to scrub the body. If you add a body scrub to your weekly body care, you will get amazingly soft, clean, and fresh skin.

Removes dead skin cells

No matter your skin type, dead skin cells can make the skin look dull, matte, and tired. By exfoliating the skin, you can effectively remove dead skin cells, impurities, and open up the pores and all filters. The grains in the scrub have an abrasive effect and help loosen dead skin cells and stimulate the formation of new skin cells.

Softens the skin

By regularly removing dead skin cells, the skin regains its normal glow, and the scrub helps to soften the skin. Since a body scrub helps cleanse the skin of impurities and dead skin cells, the effect of moisturizing cream and body lotion afterwards becomes even greater. Dry skin, for example, will be better able to absorb your regular skincare after exfoliation.

Works wonders for blemish-prone skin

Body scrubs suit all skin types, such as normal skin, dry skin, oily skin, and sensitive skin. A scrub works especially well for those with blemish-prone skin on the body. Many people occasionally experience impurities on the back, chest, and shoulders or other areas. When you use a body scrub, you cleanse the skin deeply and therefore reduce the risk of impurities and pimples.

Increases blood circulation

Body scrubs have many great benefits, and the exfoliating property also increases blood circulation, which counteracts cellulite and stimulates the formation of new, fresh skin cells. If you struggle with cellulite or orange peel skin on, for example, thighs, buttocks, or stomach, then a good scrub a couple of times a week can improve blood circulation and thus reduce the visible bumps on the skin’s surface.

How to use your body scrub

When your skin needs a deep cleanse to regain its natural glow, a good body scrub is indispensable. Skøn Skincare’s Heavenly body scrub is a salt scrub that smells heavenly of lavender oil and, like all types of body scrubs, should be used on damp skin after a bath or when you are in the shower. Scrub the skin in small circular motions in long strokes until the small minerals melt.

Remember your feet when you scrub

Treat yourself and your body to body care that both feels good and smells magical. A perfect end to a long day, or when there is time for a little self-care and me-time. Also remember that you can use our Heavenly body scrub for your feet. Add a teaspoon of body scrub to your foot bath and scrub your feet smooth and soft as part of your regular foot care.

Use a milder type of scrub for sensitive skin

If your skin is very sensitive and delicate, you need to be a bit careful. It is still good to use a body scrub and gently scrub the skin on the body. But choose a mild body scrub with nourishing oils that revitalizes and gives you soft skin without irritating.

What is the difference between scrub and peeling?

Scrub, peeling, or exfoliation. A body scrub is an important part of your skincare routine, but it can be confusing when the products have different names. In general, scrub, peeling, and exfoliation are the same. The result you want to achieve is the same: to get soft and smooth skin on the face or on the body and feet by removing dead skin cells.

To peel or exfoliate therefore means massaging the skin in circular motions. Make sure to choose a delicious body scrub that only contains natural ingredients of nourishing oils and minerals. The scrub must not be too harsh on your skin, as it can cause irritation, especially with sensitive skin.

Physical or chemical exfoliation?

The way you exfoliate or peel depends on what your body scrub is made of. By physical exfoliation, we mean a scrub that contains natural ingredients such as salt grains, sugar grains, or coffee grounds. A salt scrub or sugar scrub therefore contains small grains that gently massage your body and provide the lightly abrasive feeling that a body scrub is meant for.

Natural glycolic acid

But even if you choose a body scrub with small sugar grains, you can also enjoy a natural chemical exfoliation at the same time, as sugar contains glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is what we know as AHA, or Alpha Hydroxy Acid, which penetrates the skin and dissolves the bond between skin cells and makes it easier to remove dead skin cells.

Salt scrub

A salt scrub is a classic natural physical exfoliant that, with the help of salt, scrubs your skin clean. The salt grains in combination with essential oils, omegas, and minerals provide wonderful body care for an amazing glow. Body scrubs with salt are perfect for normal skin, oily skin, or dry skin, but if you have very delicate skin, a body scrub with sugar is gentler.
