Our favorite exfoliants for the perfect body scrub!

Le body scrub is often one of the most overlooked aspects of a beauty routine. And yet, once a week, in addition to leaving the skin softer, its benefits are numerous... Did you know that it can also reduce cellulite, improve firmness and prevent ingrown hairs after waxing? Here's a look at the benefits, application tips and suggestions for natural body scrubs (yes, forget the polluting silicone beads and go for clean exfoliation).

Why a body scrub changes everything

Whatever the type of body scrub used, its function remains the same: it eliminates dead cells on the skin's surface. This is because our cells are constantly renewing themselves, completing their journey on the surface of the epidermis, the last visible layer of our skin. By exfoliationexfoliation, we eliminate these dead cells, but not only that... Yes, body exfoliation sends a clear message to the skin: that of to renew these skin cells faster. By energizing the skin, ageing is slowed down and, because we're massaging at the same time, blood circulation is stimulated.

Dead skin cells are also responsible forrougher, duller skinand exfoliation is just the thing to sweep them away! Finally, when performed regularly, body exfoliation helps minimize cellulite and "orange peel" appearance by "breaking up" small fatty deposits. Are you prone to stretch marks? Body scrub can also minimize their appearance and prevent them by boosting elastin production, and thus tissue firmness.

Which body scrub is right for you?

For even skin texture and a radiant complexion, massage Microderm Instant Glow Body Polish in the shower. Microderm Instant Glow Body Polish Goop Beauty. This exfoliating and cleansing scrub polishes the skin, eliminating roughness and leaving it soft and luminous.

For an exfoliating and moisturizing action at the same time, opt for an exfoliating body cream like the AHA Radiance Renewal Body Serum Ren Skincare. Often based on lactic acid, recognized for its 2-in-1 action, this type of new-generation exfoliant is unfortunately not suitable for very sensitive skin.

If you want to boost your skin's firmness and glow, adopt the duo C-Smooth Hydra Firm Body Polish and C-Glow Hydra Firm Oil Odacité. Thanks to their double dose of vitamins, they boost radiance and firmness, leaving skin soft and supple, brighter and firmer.

Universal, very gentle and appreciated for its "spa" feel, the grainy scrub as with the Coco Rose Exfoliating Body Scrub Herbivore is the perfect scrub for all skin types..

And to exfoliate your body and scalp, use the Refining Scalp & Body Scrub Susanne Kaufmann, a 2-in-1 detoxifying treatment that gently removes dead skin cells without irritation, freeing the skin of toxins and impurities.

Dry brushing to exfoliate and detoxify

The benefits of dry brushing are numerous, but did you know that brushing for a few minutes a day also removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and soft? So to take care of your body, brush every day with the Ultimate Dry BrushGoop Beauty to stimulate lymphatic circulation every morning or evening, before showering and on dry skin.

How do I apply a body scrub?

The ideal frequency for a body scrub is different from that for the face: once a week is sufficient. A classic grainy body scrub is generally applied to damp skin, directly in the shower. However, for very dry, rough areas such as feet or elbows, it can be used on dry skin. Massage the scrub from bottom to top(for better blood circulation) in circular movements, then rinse with lukewarm water. For the more adventurous, finish off with a jet of cold water to boost circulation! Finally, don't hesitate to use your body scrub one day before waxing/shaving to avoid ingrown hairs. You can also exfoliate a day before applying your self-tanner to avoid streaks... Then finish off on slightly damp skin by applying a body oil or moisturizing cream.
