A body scrub removes deceased skin cells, increases blood circulation and cleanses skin through exfoliation. Also known as body polish,it consists of a liquid base with exfoliating granules which slough off deceased skin when you massage it over your body.

When to Exfoliate

Best practice is to exfoliate before shaving, rather than after. That’s because, as Gallo explains, “Exfoliating removes dirt and deceased skin cells from the surface of the skin, which keeps your skin clean, unclogs your pores and helps you achieve a closer shave.

Rinse your skin in warm water. Put a small amount of body scrub in your hand. Gently rub it on your skin in small circular motions, using your hand or an exfoliating glove. Scrub your skin gently for no longer than 30 seconds.

The Benefits of Using a Body Scrub AFTER Body Wash

As it turns out, the experts agree with my rationale. “With this method you will be washing away any dirt, grime and sweat off the surface of your skin before deeply exfoliating away deceased skin cells and impurities,” says Holmes. But that’s not the only benefit.

Most experts advise that you exfoliate two to three times per week — as long as your skin can handle it. Chemical exfoliants tend to be fine to use more regularly.

Second, the skin on your face is different from the skin on your body. So never use a body scrub on your face—doing so is unlikely to provide any benefits, and it could even unintentionally damage your facial skin.

Exfoliation Before Cleansing

Scrubbing first can remove residue, deceased skin cells and dirt from the surface of your skin. Following this step with cleanser helps wash away any deceased skin cells or particles on skin’s surface that were lifted by the scrub.

Your skin may need physical exfoliation, too. … Rouleau says the best time to use a scrub is in the morning. Overnight you’ve loosened up deceased skin cells with your glycolic acid or retinol products, making the morning a perfect time to brush them off.

But what many don’t realize about sweat is that at its source, it has no smell. “It gains odor when the bacteria known as corynebacterium present on the skin interacts with the sweat and oils creating the smell we know as ‘body odor,’” explains Dr.

Our experts say that their top tip for successfully exfoliating your face (or any body part) is to do so in a warm, steamy shower or bath. “The warmth of a shower softens the skin and releases the body’s natural oils, all while opening your pores,” says McMackin.

Your skin needs moisture, especially after you exfoliate. Using a super-hydrating facial moisturizer after you exfoliate helps replenish any moisture loss from exfoliating. Apply sunscreen. … UV rays expose your skin to free radicals, which cause your skin to age prematurely.

Step 3: Exfoliator or clay mask

Exfoliation removes deceased skin cells while decongesting pores. Clay masks work to unclog pores, but can also absorb excess oil. These masks are best applied at night to remove leftover dirt and help the skin soak up other products.

To exfoliate with a washcloth or a loofah, wet it with warm water. If it’s dry, it can be too rough. Rub the cloth in small circles on your legs, then follow with moisturizer.

A regular washcloth makes a great exfoliating device for sensitive skin. Just like dry brushing, start at your feet and create circular motions going upwards. Once you reach your arms, begin scrubbing in towards your heart. Just make sure you launder your washcloth after each use.
