Why Do Body Scrubs Make You Feel and Look Good

A body scrub is a skin treatment that’s applied on the body rather than on the face. The solution or mixture of a body scrub is comprised of abrasive ingredients such as sugar, salt and grounds of coffee. It is mixed with essential oils to hold them together as well as give off an aromatic scent. Body scrubs can be availed at skin care clinic or spa or can be prepared and done at home.

The important part of the scrubbing process is exfoliation. Through exfoliation, dead skin cells are removed and brings out lighter, radiant and glowing skin. In order to exfoliate, the scrub solution is applied on the body by a therapist, or your own hands if you’re doing it at home. The scrub will be left on your body for a few minutes, followed by a shower.

At the skin clinic or spa, you will be asked to disrobe and lie face down on the massage table. The therapist will apply the scrub mixture on the your back, legs and thighs. When this process is done, you will turn over and the therapist will begin the process again.

After the whole process, you will then rinse off using a shower. Application of lotion or oil and a massage may then commence.

At home, you can do the process yourself, although you might find it difficult to reach some parts of the body. You can purchase a ready made body scrub at a health shop or prepare your own mixture at home. Homemade recipes are often easy to do and less expensive than going to a spa or buying body scrub.
