Body scrubs are exfoliating cosmetic treatments applied to the body to cleanse the skin. It is done to remove worn out and dead skin cells for newer and fresher ones.

A non-exfoliated skin is usually dry, dehydrated and rough in appearance while an exfoliated skin is soft, smooth, hydrated and glowing.

Any glowing skin you come across has undergone the process of exfoliation, which is the process of removing dead cells from the skin topmost layer with beauty treatment such as body scrub.

A body scrub usually contain 3 main ingredients:

1. Abrasive ingredients: like sugar, coffee grounds, salt and other strong materials to remove worn out skin cells at the upper layer.
2. Carrier oils: also known as light oils. These oils serve as moisturizing agent to provide nourishment to the new cells as they are exposed to the surface. Examples of these oils are olive oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, sunflower oil etc.
3. Essential oils: these are highly volatile oils extracted from plants, which contains healing, restorative and stimulating properties. They give the skin a nice aroma after exfoliation.

Body scrub can include other nourishing ingredients like honey, milk, cream and other skin benefitting ingredients.

We all need to exfoliate our skin regularly. Exfoliation should be done once or twice weekly. Too much exfoliation will cause the present skin cells at the top layer to age quickly, which isnt good for the skin and the overall appearance of the individual.

An exfoliated skin reveals a fresher, youthful and a glowing you.
