Soap isn’t the only way to clean and hydrate your skin. A popular trend that has emerged over the last few years is body scrubs. A body scrub or body polish is an excellent way to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin. When rubbed into the skin vigorously, it sloughs off dry, dead skin. When rinsed away, it leaves a moisturised layer of fresh, clean, and soft skin.
Body scrubs are a great way to avoid ingrown hairs, and the rubbing action also helps drain your lymph nodes by increasing blood flow to the skin’s surface. Check out this recipe for a lovely floral Rose Scrub.
