The main purpose of a salt scrub is to shed dead skin cells that are making your skin look dull, uneven, and patchy. Regularly getting rid of dead skin also promotes faster skin cell turnover, revealing a fresher, clearer, brighter appearance waiting underneath.
When to use an exfoliating body scrub?
Make sure you use it after you have showered or bathed, and after you have used shower gel, soap or body wash. This ensures your skin is clean and prepped for exfoliation, and the warm water ensures your skin is damp and soft. Warm water also opens your pores to ensure your body scrub can be as effective as possible in removing any unwanted skin cells.
How often to use a scrub?
You shouldn’t use a body scrub every day; exfoliation can be harsh on the skin, and over-exfoliation can damage the skin cells and prevent natural restoration. You don’t want to overly strip the skin of moisture, or compromise the skin barrier. Aim to use body scrub 1-2 times a week at the most. Once a week is a good idea as this is easy to build into a routine.
