Just as you use face exfoliators in your skincare routine, you should also exfoliate the skin on your body 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 from 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.
Exfoliation naturally leads to smoother and brighter-looking skin, while also preparing your skin to receive all the nutrients from your body moisturiser.
Clarins’ body exfoliators are formulated with nature’s finest ingredients to gently lift off dead skin cells, dirt, sebum and bacteria from your skin, leaving your skin instantly cleaner and smoother. They also help to promote cell turnover, while unclogging pores and preventing ingrown hairs and bumps from forming.
Made with Rosemary, Rosewood, Mint, Sugar and Salt Crystals, the Tonic Polisher is a spa-fresh body exfoliating scrub that leaves your skin feeling luxuriously soft and smooth. Sugar and Salt Crystals polish off dry cells, flakes and impurities to unveil the glowing skin beneath. This scrub also contains Hazelnut Oil and Shea extracts to moisturise the skin and prevent dehydration.
Get satin-soft skin with the Exfoliating Body Scrub for Smooth Skin, created with a nourishing blend of Moringa, Natural Bamboo Powders, Mimosa Tenuiflora and Shea extracts. This body scrub gently eliminates dirt and dead skin cells to comfort, protect and soften your skin, giving it a fresh new start. It also promotes skin density and cell renewal. Moringa purifies the skin to prevent bacteria build-up, while Mimosa extracts soothe and prep your skin for your body moisturiser.
While exfoliating is an important step, it’s important not to over-exfoliate. Similar to face exfoliators, body exfoliating scrubs should only be used once or twice a week, depending on your skin texture. If you have severely dry or irritated skin, you should start with exfoliating once a week to prevent further irritation.
First, wet your skin with warm water, as this helps to open the pores so the ingredients from your exfoliating scrub can penetrate deeper for better exfoliation. Next, take a small amount of the product and 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 to avoid irritating your skin. Don’t forget to scrub behind your neck and armpits too. Finally, rinse off with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
Body exfoliating scrubs are packed with plenty of benefits to achieve healthy, radiant skin. Now that you’ve been introduced to our plant-based body scrubs, it’s time to learn why you should exfoliate with scrubs every week.
