If you have ever gone to a spa or spoken to a dermatologist, chances are you’ve been asked if you exfoliate, especially on your face. While we love an effective yet gentle face exfoliation, we should also care for the rest of the body; it needs love, too! One of the best ways to do this is through a body scrub.
- Anti-Aging Benefits
Having bright, beautiful skin starts with proper care. In addition to drinking lots of water and using gentle products, your body needs to be exfoliated just as your face does. Our skin naturally sheds old skin cells; as you get older, your body may need some help with this. The best way to do this is through gentle exfoliation which rejuvenates and refreshes the skin, revealing the new skin underneath and reversing any signs of aging. If you are doing it at home, make sure to not be aggressive and only exfoliate once or twice a week.
- Acne and Acne Scars
Whether you have acne scars from teenage years or if you are dealing with adult acne on your back, a body scrub can work wonders. Just like with anti-aging, it is all about encouraging your body to regenerate new cells. If you are looking for a good preventative measure, a body scrub helps to open up your pores and remove oil build up.
- Setting the Foundation
Your skin may take on a lot of products every day. Sunscreens, lotions, mists, serums, etc. can clog your pores. A body scrub can help to remove the build up of products while leaving you with brighter, softer skin. If you practice hair removal, whether through shaving, waxing, or even laser, then in-grown hairs have probably made an appearance. We’ll let you take a guess as to what might be able to help that problem! That’s right – scrubs and exfoliation can help prevent ingrown hairs!
Your body helps you take on the day and it deserves to be loved and cared for. Along with our body scrubs, our Key West couples massages and AVEDA Hair Salon will help you look and feel your best!
