Body scrubs exfoliate skin, remove dead skin cells, and rejuvenate the underlying skin by rehydration. This gives the body an overall glow, smooth, and velvety appearance.
When it comes to choosing a scrub, some are better for certain skin types than others. Also, some scrubs are better for certain body parts than others. Here is the skinny on each scrub to help you choose which one is right for you.
Sugar Scrubs
Sugar scrubs are much softer than salt scrubs, they are great for a whole body scrub. They also dissolve readily in hot water, this is what makes it less abrasive than a salt scrub. Because it is less abrasive it is good for sensitive skin. Sugar scrubs do not have any mineralization benefits of salt scrubs and are great for facial exfoliation as they are a gentle scrub. Sugar scrubs are not great for those with excessively rough skin as it is a gentle scrub and will not help in removing the dead skin.
Salt Scrubs
Salt scrubs aren’t sticky like sugar scrubs. They are rougher than sugar scrubs which make them great for exfoliating feet, elbows, knees, smoothing callouses, and other rough skin. Salt scrubs also have therapeutic benefits; they help remove toxins and impurities from skin. Because salt scrubs contain mineralization properties, they help in achieving healthy skin. Salt scrub is more drying than sugar scrub and can be a bit irritating and stingy to skin.
To sum it all up, sugar scrubs are great for sensitive skin that isn’t too rough. Salt scrubs are great for rough areas or skin that isn’t too sensitive. Basically the best way to find a great scrub that you love is to go to a bath and body store where they sell quality scrubs and try some out!
