Natural and luxurious body scrubs gently remove dead skin cells and surface impurities. Depending on their texture, they leave skin wonderfully soft and silky smooth. Body scrubs and exfoliants are a great addition to your skincare routine, especially for rough or dry areas such as elbows, knees or feet. Our natural body scrubs combine high-quality ingredients such as almond or coconut oil with invigorating scents of eucalyptus, marjoram or citrus fruits. Many formulas use sugar, salt or plant-based exfoliating particles instead of plastic microbeads. This gently smooths, nourishes and refreshes the skin.
Body scrub, AHA peel or dry brush?
A classic body scrub with exfoliating particles removes loose flakes of skin through gentle massage. The Alpine Herbs Body Scrub by Team Dr Joseph uses apricot kernel powder and nourishing plant oils. The Foaming Body Scrubs by AKT London combine sugar and rice powder with a pleasantly foaming cleansing experience. For those who prefer a different exfoliation method, there’s the AHA+Mineral Body Peel by Mádara with lactic acid and mineral exfoliating particles. Dry brushing is also part of our selection: it’s used on dry skin without an exfoliating product.
How often should you exfoliate your skin?
For many skin types, exfoliating the body once or twice a week is enough, depending on the texture and skin sensitivity. Massage mechanical scrubs in without applying too much pressure, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using acid scrubs. Afterwards, your skin will appreciate a rich body butter or a nourishing body oil. Avoid exfoliating irritated or damaged skin.
