Scrub
For Smother Skin
Improve
your skin tone from head to toe w ith
the regular
use of a body scrub. This quick treatment is easy
to do and boasts great results. The chances are, even
if your skin isn't prone to spottiness or flaky patches,
it will suffer from dullness and poor condition from
time to time.
This
is where body scrubs and exfoliators come into their
own. They work by shifting dead cells from the surface
of your skin, revealing the younger, fresher ones
underneath. This process also stimulates the circulation
of blood in the skin tissues, giving it a rosy glow.
Methods
you can try :
There are lots of different ways you can exfoliate
your body so there's one to suit every budget and
preference.
-
An
exfoliating scrub is a cream- or gel- based product
containing tiny abrasive particles. Use the type
with rounded particles, which won't scratch and
irritate delicate skin. Simply massage the scrub
into damp skin, then rinse away thoroughly with
lots of warm water.
-
A
bath mitt, loofah or sisal mitt are a cinch
to use and cost effective, too. They can be
quite harsh on the skin if you press too hard,
so go easy at first. Simply sweep over your
body when you're in the shower or bath. Rinse
them well after use, and allow them. to dry
naturally.
-
Your
ordinary washcloth or bath sponge can also double
up as an exfoliator. Lather up with plenty of soap
or shower gel, and massage over damp skin before
rinsing away with clear water.
-
Copy
what health sp as
do, and keep a large tub of natural sea salt by
the shower. Scoop up a handful when you get in,
and massage over your skin. Rinse away thoroughly
afterwards.
-
Make
your own body scrub by mixing sea salt with body
oil or olive oil. Allow the mixture to soak into
your skin for a few minutes to allow the edges of
the salt to dissolve before massaging in. Rinse
thoroughly with plenty of water.
-
Body
brushes are also useful. The best way to use them
is on dry skin before you get in the bath or shower,
as this is particularly good for loosening dead
skin cells. You can also use them in the water lathering
them up with soap or gel. Try building up pressure
gradually over several weeks. Just take care that
you don't get too enthusiastic with the brushing
a scrub your skin so vigorously that it becomes
tender and sore.
Tip:
For super-soft skin fast, you should massage your body
with oil first before getting into the bath or shower.
Then follow the exfoliating method you prefer
