Body Scrubs & Their Benefits

Body scrubs have been around for a while and come in a variety of different types. Regardless of if you’ve tried one before, you may wonder what benefits are associated with body scrubs. Aside from making your skin feel super duper smooth, body scrubs hold other benefits.

BENEFITS

First, check out some details on how our skin works. Desquamation is the natural process of shedding skin, and it happens in a constant, regenerative cycle. The efficiency of this process depends on several factors including your age, skin type, the products you’re using, and your environment. However, this process isn’t 100 percent perfect, and it can lead to a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. This is where body scrubs come in.
Body scrubs remove dead skin cells which opens your skin up to receive several benefits:
Your skin will absorb moisturizer better after using a body scrub. By removing dead skin cell buildup, any moisturizer applied afterward will soak into the skin more thoroughly.
Unclog pores and prevent ingrown hairs. By regularly using a body scrub, you’ll unclog your pores, which can prevent razor bumps and ingrown hairs.
Body Scrubs leave your skin smoother and more even. When dry skin isn’t removed, it makes the skin rough to touch and has a dull, cracked texture and appearance. By removing the dead, dry cells - you should have smoother and more even skin.

TYPES OF BODY SCRUBS

Body scrubs come in different varieties, including sugar, salt, and coffee scrubs. The ingredients in them determine the grit, which in turn affects how much exfoliation it provides to the skin. Keep in mind that more isn’t always better, so avoid the overuse of body scrubs. Test out the variety of scrubs we offer at Sweets & Scrubs to see which type your skin loves the most.

SALT BODY SCRUB
Sea salt is a natural exfoliant. Its abrasive texture sloughs away dead skin cells easily. We offer salt scrubs that are less abrasive than most on the market by using extra fine sea salt in our scrubs vs large abrasive salt salts.

SUGAR BODY SCRUB
Sugar is a humectant, meaning it pulls water into your skin, leaving your skin hydrated while getting rid of all the dry and dead cells. We use pure cane sugar in our scrubs mixed with hydrating ingredients your skin will love.

COFFEE BODY SCRUB
Coffee has many benefits, and that carries over to body scrubs. Not only does it have natural exfoliating and anti-inflammatory properties, but it also may improve circulation and smooth skin. Coffee scrubs are also known to help improve the appearance of cellulite.
