Exfoliating with a body scrub helps remove dead skin cells and maintain smooth skin. However, the frequency depends on your skin type. Over-exfoliating can lead to dryness, while under-exfoliating may cause bumpy skin and rough patches.

How often to use a body scrub

To maintain radiant skin, consider the following:

Oily skin: 2-3 times a week to control buildup.

Normal/combination skin: 1-2 times a week for a balanced skincare routine.

Dry skin: Once a week with a hydrating scrub containing shea butter or body butter.

Sensitive skin: Once every two weeks for gentle exfoliation.

Key ingredients for effective exfoliation

Using the right key ingredients can enhance your exfoliation routine. Look for:

Sugar: Helps polish the skin and remove dead skin cells.

Shea butter & body butter: Provides deep hydration for softer skin.

Botanical extracts: Evens out skin tone and soothes dry skin.

Rich oils: Locks in moisture after exfoliating.

How to use a body scrub

1. Wet your skin in the shower or bath.

2. Apply the scrub and massage in circular motions.

3. Focus on rough patches like elbows and knees.

4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

5. Apply body butter to nourish and hydrate.

Signs it's time to exfoliate

If you notice bumpy skin, dullness, or uneven skin tone, it's time to exfoliate. A good scrub can help maintain glowing skin and refresh your senses while improving hydration.
