Spring Body Scrubs

Exfoliating your skin is an important part of our beauty regime that easily gets overlooked. It’s good for your skin, when done properly. When you exfoliate you remove the dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin. You don’t want to do it too often, too hard. It’s also different depending on your skin type. Some people are more sensitive than others. It’s always important to do a test area of your skin first, before exfoliating your whole body. After exfoliating apply a body moisturizer. Your loofa is good for lightly exfoliating your body but doesn’t do enough. Using a natural body scrub once a week will do wonders for your skin. These below are gentle and have great spring scents.
