Commonly Asked Questions About Body Scrubs
What body scrub is for?
A body scrub is a skin care product that physically peels away dead cells from your outer layer of skin with abrasive ingredients, such as sugar or salt which can help you achieve a smoother and brighter complexion. They may also prevent future acne breakouts.
Are scrubs good for your body?
If you have rough, dry skin that's prone to scaly patches and blemishes then a body scrub is good for your body. Made from natural ingredients such as sugar or salt, these exfoliants effectively remove dead cells while effectively nourishing and softening the skin. The regrowth of new skin becomes brighter and smoother, thus it can prevent future acne outbreaks.
How much does a body scrub cost?
According to Cost Helper, spa fees can range from $70 to $90 for a 45 to 60-minute session when an esthetician performs a body scrub on you. Hotels and resorts charge between $130 to $160. However, you can save money by exfoliating at home with a body scrub that starts at $18.
We hope you give one (or all!) of these scrubs a try. Not only will they help to make your skin softer, but they'll also leave it smelling amazing. Not to mention the money you'll save by exfoliating dry skin with body scrubs at home versus visiting a spa. Don't forget, supplies are limited so be sure to buy now before they're all gone!
