Body scrubs are essential lotions to promote skin cell regeneration, completely renew it, and eliminate all those cells that have aged. The application of these products at least once a week is something that we should not overlook if we want our skin to always be clean, radiant, and much softer to the touch. To find out how to carry out this task and make it effective, keep reading this article in which we show you step-by-step how to apply a body scrub.

Steps to follow:

• A good body exfoliation requires specific lotions to remove dead cells and thoroughly clean the skin in areas such as the abdomen, legs, buttocks, arms, etc. That is why you should purchase exfoliants indicated for the skin of the body, which have a coarser grain than those used on the face. There are homemade lotions that offer excellent results and are a great alternative to commercial scrubs.

• It is advisable to exfoliate the body with damp skin, so it is best to do it at the time of the shower, thus you will protect the natural structure of the skin and prevent irritation from appearing. In addition to acquiring a good scrub, we recommend you get a horsehair glove to obtain better results and also combat unsightly cellulite or orange peel.

• To use the body scrub, pour a little product on your hand and apply it to the area or areas you want to treat. Spread it out using gently upward circular motions to remove dead cells and stimulate blood circulation at the same time. After a few minutes, repeat the process with the horsehair glove, trying not to apply too much pressure.

• It is not recommended to exfoliate very delicate areas of the body such as the breasts or the neckline, on the contrary, you should focus on those rougher and rougher areas such as the knees, elbows, or ankles. When finished, remove the remains of the product with plenty of lukewarm water and then apply a good moisturizing body cream to counteract the aggressive effects of exfoliation.

• In those parts of the body where orange peel skin is more visible, you can apply an anti-cellulite cream since, after exfoliation, the skin absorbs the nutrients of any treatment much better and the firming effect will be greater.

• In addition to applying the body scrub correctly, it is essential to keep in mind that exfoliation should only be done once or twice a week depending on your skin type. It is not recommended to do it more than once a week on dry skin and, conversely, oily skin can benefit from treatment up to two times in the same week.
