Benefits of Body Scrubs

Why use body scrubs?

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF A BODY SCRUB

The cells on your body regularly shed to reveal new, healthier skin underneath. This changing process slows as we get older.  Body scrubs helps skin shed old cells.

A body scrub can work in a few different ways:

o   As you massage it over your body, the exfoliating particles help to eliminate dead skin.

o   The rubbing action itself boosts circulation and helps drain your lymph nodes, by increasing blood flow to the skin’s surface.

o   Plus, after all that deep cleansing work in the shower, Ladybug’s Whipped Body Butter will be able to soothe and hydrate your skin.

 

But another important benefit of using a scrub is how good it can feel while using. When you feel the refreshing texture against your skin and captivating scent that fills the shower allows you to enjoy the treatment as its happening. It is an experience that can lift your mood and affect your outlook as you continue your day or evening.

 

HOW TO USE A BODY SCRUB

If your skin is healthy and firm, you can use a shower scrub up to three times a week. But if you have sensitive or thin skin, limit a good buffing to once a week.

Be careful not to over scrub. Though your body skin is heartier than the skin on your face, it is susceptible to irritation. Always moisturize with body butter after you’ve dried off for smooth, nourished skin.

WHEN NOT TO USE A BODY SCRUB

If you have a sunburn or are experiencing a rash or other skin condition, give the body scrub a rest. Some of the ingredients—and the actual rubbing—could further irritate your skin. You’ll also want to skip it after shaving.
