A body scrub contains one exfoliating ingredient that when massaged against the skin, helps removes dead skin cells as well as increase blood circulation in the body. This makes the skin supple and glowing. Body scrubs are slightly abrasive as compared to face scrubs since the skin on your body is thick and gentle exfoliators won’t work on areas like knees, elbows and ankles. If you’re looking to get fresh and rejuvenated skin or wish to remove tan, a body scrub is an ideal choice.
