Body scrubs are a type of body care product used to help exfoliate your skin. There are many different types of body scrubs: Some only remove dead skin and other surface debris, while others clean the skin while they exfoliate (much like an exfoliating facial cleanser).The primary goal of exfoliating is to remove dead, dry surface skin cells and promote a smoother, more even skin texture. And while all exfoliants provide these benefits, physical exfoliants like scrubs work to slough dead skin instantly. Immediately after using a scrub, you’ll notice your skin feels softer and appears more radiant.
Body scrubs can also help unclog pores, improve the appearance of skin discolorations, and enhance skin clarity. And if you’re prone to ingrown hairs, body scrubs can help free those trapped hairs to minimize the appearance of razor bumps.
