How to Use Body Scrub: Benefits, Frequency & Tips
A body scrub uses gentle physical exfoliation to help remove surface build-up and leave skin feeling smoother. Little Brown Goose Body Scrub is a 270g sugar-based scrub handmade in Geelong, Victoria, with shea butter, cocoa butter and wheatgerm oil.
Why use a body scrub?
A body scrub provides physical exfoliation. Used with light pressure on suitable areas of the body, it can help lift surface build-up and leave skin feeling smoother and softer. It is a cosmetic body-care step rather than a treatment for a medical skin condition.
How to apply body scrub
- Wet the skin in the shower.
- Scoop out a small amount with dry or clean hands.
- Massage gently over the body using light circular motions.
- Pay extra attention to areas that feel dry or rough.
- Rinse thoroughly.
Avoid the face, eyes, lips and broken or irritated skin.
How often should you exfoliate?
Start with once or twice a week, or use less often if that suits your skin better. Scrubbing harder or more frequently is not necessary and may cause irritation.
When to skip a scrub
Avoid exfoliating freshly shaved, sunburnt, broken or irritated skin. If your skin feels uncomfortable during or after use, stop and allow it to settle before using exfoliating products again.
Keep the shower safe
Body-care products can make the shower floor slippery. Rinse surfaces after use and take care when stepping in and out.
What body scrub does—and does not—do
Body Scrub is a cosmetic exfoliating product intended to cleanse and smooth the feel of the skin. It is not a treatment for a medical skin condition.
