Debrah Dragon asked:


No matter how tired or pasty your skin might look, somewhere under that dull exterior is a new you waiting to burst out-and through the use of cleansing and rejuvenating body scrubs, you can let that new you loose!

You don't have to give your skin a professionally spa treatment start looking and feeling better, right away. All you need is your own skin, your own hands, a little know-how, and the right body scrub, and you'll be on your way in no time. Body scrubs are designed to remove your old skin and reveal the new you. What's more is body scrubs also give you a fresh and revitalized feeling, you will not only look younger but you will feel much younger too.

What can a body scrub can do for you? Exfoliating body scrubs provide strong cleaning action like a body wash, rubbing away the normal grime and sweat that accumulates during the normal course of your day- but that's just the beginning. The real magic is in the tiny granules found in any exfoliant cleanser. These granules work away at your skin, removing clingy dead skin cells from the surface to reveal the fresh, young flesh beneath.

The type of granules in different exfoliating body scrubs can vary greatly, and they can have slightly different affects. Salt scrubs are extremely popular for their excellent exfoliating capabilities, as well as their ability to sooth aching muscles. However picking up the right body scrub is imperative, you must know what to choose and when to choose. Just as if you have any minor cuts or abrasions, using a salt scrub will literally be putting salt in your wound, so use with care.

Sugar-based exfoliating body scrubs are also very popular. The granules of sugar tend to be a bit smaller than those used in salt scrubs, so a sugar-based exfoliant makes for a gentler cleansing feel, without the salty sting. Or, for a more powerful exfoliation, look for a body scrub that uses mud, pumice stone, or crushed almost shells as its exfoliant. They might sound strange, but they work wonders on your skin. Numerous people can attest to the effectiveness of body scrubs. These scrubs have worked wonders for people who have lost hope. As simple as they may be, don't be mistake their effectiveness because they are so simple to use.

If you suffer from itchy, dry skin, you might want to consider an oatmeal body scrub. Oatmeal isn't as strong an exfoliant, but its natural properties help quench parched skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. It may work better for your face care, considering the skin on your face is more sensitive than the rest of the body. Most body scrubs also contain a moisturizing ingredient to help your skin recover after its thorough scrubbing, but if you have dry skin, you might also look for a body scrub with a strong moisturizing component. A sugar scrub with shea butter would probably give you just the right balance to give your skin that gorgeous glow. With names and ingredients like these, the biggest challenge isn't using your body scrub-it's keeping yourself from eating it!

So you haven't started using a body scrub by now then, it is time that you started using one from today. The way you feel after you use a body scrub will change the way you look at scrubs and your body again.
