Using a targeted body scrub, polisher, or exfoliator is the first step in your body beauty routine for smooth, fresh skin.

What do body scrubs do?
Body scrubs and exfoliators polish skin to remove dead skin cells and impurities. They slough away dead skin cells and impurities on the surface of the epidermis. The skin is left cleansed and exfoliated, allowing it to breathe better.
By regularly using body exfoliators, your skin will feel soft, smooth, and well primed to absorb body lotions and creams. Body scrubs can also enhance the effectiveness of any body firming products you may apply afterwards.
Is it necessary to exfoliate my body?
Just as you use face exfoliators in your skincare routine, you should also exfoliate your body skin with gentle body exfoliating scrubs. Dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of your skin each day, which can cause bacne, dull skin and dry patches. If dry skin is left untreated, it may even become cracked and itchy.
Apart from that, dead skin cells form a tough layer that prevents the nourishing ingredients in your body moisturisers from properly absorbing into your skin. That’s why body exfoliators are important to enhance your skin’s overall health and appearance.
Our beauty top tip: Exfoliate before shaving, as it helps remove dead skin cells and lifts hairs.
How often should I use an exfoliating body scrub?
While exfoliating is a crucial step, it’s important not to over-exfoliate. Body exfoliating scrubs should be used only once or twice a week, depending on your skin type. If you have severely dry or irritated skin, start by exfoliating once a week to prevent further irritation.
What’s the most effective way to use an exfoliating body scrub?
• First, wet your skin with warm water, as this helps to open the pores, allowing the ingredients from your exfoliating scrub to penetrate more deeply for better exfoliation.
• Using body wash in the first step will remove surface-level dirt, sweat, and oil from your skin, preparing it for the next step.
• Then, use your favourite body polish to remove dead skin cells and cleanse your skin more deeply. Gently massage it in circular motions all over your body, paying attention to the rougher areas such as your elbows, knees, feet and thighs. Avoid applying too much pressure, as it may irritate your skin.
• If you want a smoother texture, our Exfoliating Body Scrub for smooth skin is the one that will refine and soften your skin texture.
• Finally, rinse off with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
• Finish your routine with a body moisturiser like Eau Dynamisante Energizing Melting Body Lotion to hydrate, soften, tone, and delicately scent skin.
