Our favorite tips and scrubs for the perfect body scrub!
The body scrub Body scrub is often one of the great forgotten of a beauty routine. However, once a week, beyond a softer skin, its benefits are numerous... Did you know that it could also reduce cellulite, improve firmness or avoid ingrown hairs after a depilation? Here is a brief overview of its benefits, application tips and suggestions for natural body scrubs (yes, forget the polluting silicone beads and go for a clean exfoliation).
Which body scrub should I use?
The real lesson in applying body scrub
The ideal frequency for a body scrub is different from the face: once a week is sufficient. A classic body scrub with grains is generally applied to wet skin, directly under the shower. However, for very dry and rough areas such as feet or elbows, it can be used on dry skin. Massage the scrub from bottom to top(for a better blood circulation) in circular movements, then rinse with lukewarm water. For the more adventurous, finish with a jet of cold water to boost circulation! Finally, do not hesitate to use your body scrub one day before waxing/shaving to avoid ingrown hairs. You can also exfoliate the day before applying your self-tanner to avoid streaks... Then finish off with a body oil or moisturizing cream on slightly damp skin.
