What is a body scrub?
A body scrub is an exfoliant that physically scrubs away the layer of dead and dull skin, stimulating skin cell regeneration. This leads to smoother, glowing skin. Using a natural body scrub can effectively eliminate dead skin from areas that may be difficult to reach with traditional cleansers. Mechanical body scrubs use the power of your hands to remove dead skin cells, while chemical scrubs use active ingredients (like alpha-hydroxy acids) to break down and remove dead skin.
