With such a variety of skin and beauty products available to consumers, it's easy to understand what products are actually beneficial and to whom are they beneficial to. It seems like every time you walk down the beauty aisle, there are new formulas and creams coming at you from every direction! However, body scrubs have been practiced for centuries in several different cultures worldwide and are essential in natural exfoliation.
Body scrubs are packed with a variety of ingredients such as essential oils, sea salt, sugar, honey, coffee grounds, or seeds. Regularly using body scrub is a highly effective way to remove dead cells from the top layer of your skin so that new, revitalized cells can flourish.
Along with removing dead skin cells and dirt from the outermost layers of the skin, body scrubs are extremely moisturizing, can stimulate the body's natural healing mechanism and encourage cell regeneration.
For centuries, people from multiple cultures have been reaping the benefits of exfoliating and each culture had their own unique way of doing so. Ancient Egypt was known to use sodium deposits from bodies of water mixed with powdered alabaster and honey. Romans would partake in bathhouse rituals and after soaking for some time, they would use a curved metal tool called a 'strigil' to scrape the body free of dirt and perspiration.
In Native American tribes, dried corn cobs or sand from riverbeds were commonly used while Polynesian cultures would use finely crushed seashells. People started including essential oils in their exfoliants for other benefits like moisturizing the skin and to add pleasant fragrances.
On December 18, 2015, Congress amended the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act by passing the Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015. Microbeads are tiny pieces of plastic that were found in several health and beauty products, including various types of body scrubs.
Congress passed this law as a solution to regulate microbeads as there were concerns on the ways it was affecting the water supply. After using body and face scrubs, the tiny plastic beads would go down the drain and end up in our lakes and oceans where they would be mistaken for food by small fish and other aquatic life.
If the fish or other animals were consumed by humans, humans would also be ingesting the microbeads. The Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015 prohibited the manufacturing, packaging, and distribution of cosmetics containing plastic microbeads. Because of this, body and face scrubs are now plastic free and use more natural types of exfoliants like seeds and sugar.
Body scrubs have become popular in spas too! Exfoliation is often used as the first step in a seaweed wrap or it is sometimes combined with an invigorating massage. Some people may find a scrub massage to be too abrasive so be sure your therapist is being gentle enough for your liking. Many spas offer signature treatments catered to your preference and skin type.
Start by looking for a scrub that matches your needs. If you have very dry, tough skin, you might want to go for a sea salt scrub, However, sensitive skin would benefit better with a brown sugar scrub. The scent of the scrub is also important. Often times, the smell of lavender has been known to be very calming while lemon or peppermint might be better for a refreshing jolt of energy!
Always remember when trying a new scrub, be sure to test for allergies or negative reactions on a small patch of skin. If there is a feeling of stinging, burning, redness or peeling, do not continue using the scrub. Do not use scrubs if the skin has cracks, cuts, is sunburned, or is highly sensitive.
The best time for scrubbing is in the evening since the cells divide at night faster quicker. Wash your skin before you scrub to remove sweat, dirt, pollutants, otherwise, you could potentially push the toxins deeper into your pores. After about 10 - 15 minutes into your bath or shower, you can begin the exfoliation process. If you plan on shaving your legs, do so before using the scrub to prepare the skin and soften the hairs.
Apply the scrub by gently massaging in circular movements, paying special attention to rougher spots like elbows, knees, heels, as well as areas with noticeable cellulite. It’s best to always scrub upward, starting from the top of your body and moving down.
Once you've effectively exfoliated all the areas you wanted to focus on, rinse off with warm water. You won't need to follow up with soap or shower gel after using the body scrub ... you should already be squeaky clean!
As soon as you step out of the bath or shower, it's best to moisturize right away. Just remember to slather on your favorite body butter before drying off! It's important to leave skin a bit wet after the shower because the water will actually act as a carrier for the moisturizer, which provides ultimate hydration.
Sugar Scrubs
Sugar scrubs are amongst some of the most popular types of scrubs because they're less abrasive than salt, yet are extremely effective for the skin. It's a natural humectant, which means it actually draws moisture from the environment and delivers it to the skin. Because of its humectant properties, sugar is great for introducing moisture to your skin and keeping it there! Sugar also happens to be a natural source of glycolic acid, which encourages new cell turnover by breaking down the lipids that hold dead skin cells together.
Nut and Oat Scrubs
Exfoliants like oats, ground up nut shells, dried fruit, berries, and seeds are commonly used for a gentler scrub and are highly effective for individuals with very dry skin due to the antioxidants they naturally contain. Scrubs made with these ingredients are often paired with aloe vera or plain yogurt for an extra serving of moisture!
Salt Scrubs
Salt is a good choice if you prefer a more abrasive scrub, specifically for those tougher areas like your heels or elbows. Because salt granules are larger, salt scrubs tend to be one of the more effective scrubs, especially for oily skin types. Not only does salt absorb the extra oils from your skin, but it also has a natural antiseptic that kills the pore-clogging bacteria that can cause breakouts. Due to the natural magnesium and sulfate found it salt, it can draw toxins out of your skin and may even help reduce skin inflammation.
Herbal Scrubs
Plant-based and herbal body scrubs might be best if you prefer a soft, relaxing scrub for your skin. Each herb not only contains its own unique fragrance but also harnesses specific qualities that add to your scrub experience. For example, a scrub with orange peel would feel invigorating and clean while dried lavender buds would calming and fresh. An herbal scrub would also be much less abrasive than salt or sugar, making it ideal for sensitive skin.
Coffee Scrubs
Is there anything coffee can't do?! As we all know, it's a natural stimulant and that includes waking up your skin! Coffee is packed with all sorts of beneficial agents that your skin will love - caffeine, vitamins, essential oils, fatty acids, amino acids, polyphenols, and antioxidants - all ingredients that are extremely helpful in keeping skin healthy.
The caffeine in the coffee helps encourage quicker cell regeneration and restricts surface blood vessels, which can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Coffee in a body scrub can also be beneficial in improving skin discoloration by increasing blood circulation. It's a somewhat gentler abrasive, somewhere in between sugar and herbal scrubs, but can generally do well on most skin types.
Body scrubs are definitely something you'll want to include in your skin care regimen, but it's a product that should be part of your daily routine. Scrubs are best at removing that top layer of dead skin cells, but you don't need to do that every day, as it could lead to skin irritation. You essentially need to give your skin a few days to maximize the effect of the scrub.
A good exfoliation one to two times a week should be just enough for your skin to hold its refreshing glow before your next scrub down is due.
Most body scrubs have larger exfoliant particles that while might be good for the thicker skin on your body, could be painful or damaging for the thinner skin on your face. Some body scrubs might even contain higher concentrations of acids that could lead to irritation on your face. As a rule of thumb, it's best to stick with face scrubs for your face and body scrubs for your body!
