Frequently Asked Questions about Body Scrubs
Updated: April 2026
Exfoliating body washes (scrubs) remove dead skin cells and prepare the skin for better moisturiser absorption. They renew skin texture and add radiance.
What does an exfoliating body wash do?
An exfoliating body wash (scrub) contains small granules or acids that remove dead cells from the skin surface. This improves texture, boosts renewal and allows body creams to absorb more effectively into the skin.
How often should I exfoliate my body?
The ideal frequency is 1-2 times per week. Over-exfoliation can irritate and dehydrate the skin. For sensitive skin, once weekly is sufficient. Always follow with a moisturiser to protect and nourish the freshly exfoliated skin.
What is the difference between mechanical and chemical exfoliation?
Mechanical exfoliation uses granules (sugar, salt) to physically remove dead cells. Chemical exfoliation uses acids (AHA, BHA) that dissolve bonds between cells. Both methods are effective depending on your skin type and preference.
How do I apply body scrub correctly?
Wet the body, take a small amount and make circular motions without excessive pressure. Focus on knees, elbows and soles. Rinse with lukewarm water and immediately apply body cream while the skin is still damp.
Can I exfoliate if I have dry skin?
Yes, as long as you use gentle scrubs with fine granules. Exfoliation removes dry, dead cells and allows moisturisers to penetrate deeper. Always follow with rich oil or body cream for optimal hydration.
Why does exfoliation help before tanning?
Exfoliation creates an even surface so that tan (natural or self-tan) distributes uniformly. Scrub 24 hours before sun exposure or self-tan application and moisturise well afterwards for the best, most even results.
Tip: Body exfoliation 1-2 times weekly noticeably improves skin texture and radiance. Combine with shower gel for cleansing and body cream for hydration.
