Everything You Need to Know About Body Scrubs for Smooth, Glowing Skin
A body scrub is more than just a bath and shower accessory. It’s a powerful part of your body care and skincare routine, designed to remove dead skin cells, smooth the skin's surface, and help hydration products work more effectively. Whether you’re new to exfoliation or refining your self-care regimen, understanding how to choose and use the proper exfoliating scrub can completely transform your skin.
What Is a Body Scrub
A body scrub is a physical exfoliant made with natural exfoliants, such as sugar crystals or Walnut Shells, that polish away the top layer of dead skin cells. This improves skin texture, stimulates circulation, and allows moisturisers to penetrate more deeply. Yaye’s scrubs are carefully formulated with sugar, White Cypress, Silky Lemongrass, shea butter, coconut oil, and Vitamin E. These key ingredients gently exfoliate and deeply nourish, leaving your skin soft and hydrated. Unlike harsh synthetic beads, sugar and walnut particles dissolve naturally, making them suitable for every skin type, including dry skin.
The Benefits of Using a Body Scrub
Regular use of a sugar body scrub offers a range of benefits: Removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores Improves skin texture and supports cell renewal Prepares the skin for rich hydration products like Moisture-Rich Body Lotion or body butter Smooths flaky patches and helps address dry skin concerns Prevents ingrown hairs and dullness Enhances circulation for a radiant glow For an extra boost, you can pair your scrub with a Round Body Brush or Hemp Body Mitt to gently lift away surface debris. Just remember to avoid hot showers and extended exposure to dry air, which can strip moisture from the skin.

How to Use a Body Scrub
To get the most out of your body scrub, follow these steps: Start your shower routine with warm water to soften the skin. Apply the scrub to damp skin using gentle, circular motions. Focus on areas prone to dryness, such as the elbows, knees, and shins. For deeper exfoliation, use a Hemp Body Mitt or Round Body Brush before rinsing. Rinse thoroughly, then follow with Moisture-Rich Body Lotion or body butter to lock in hydration. For more targeted routines, try incorporating dry brushing once or twice a week before your shower to stimulate the skin and enhance results.
