A few years ago, a friend recommended a body scrub. I made an appointment and I was hooked. A body scrub exfoliates the skin, removes dead skin cells, and stimulates blood flow. It is sometimes referred to as body polish and has a liquid base with particles that remove dead skin when you massage it over your body and then rinse you off. Boosting the blood flow to the surface of your skin, this action improves blood circulation and drains your lymph nodes. I try to get it done professionally twice a year after the winter and then at the end of the summer.
You can also do it at home and can be part of your skincare routine if you want to keep your skin soft, smooth, and healthy. Most health experts will say that exfoliating two to three times a week should do the trick. You might want to do it a little less if you have more delicate skin. Although body scrubs have been around for a while, today there are so many different varieties on the market, including ones made of salt, sugar, and coffee.
