Just as women use face scrubs to take care of the face, exfoliating the body is equally important. Generally, using a body scrub not only removes dead skin cells but also makes the skin more even tone and also gets rid of tanning. At the same time, if the body scrub is used properly, it makes the skin soft and smooth.
It is seen that women use a body scrub to take care of their skin, but during this time they make some small mistakes. Due to this, they are not able to get the benefit of skin exfoliation, which they should get.
Not only can this but sometimes body scrubbing in the wrong way also cause damage to the skin. So, in this article today, RVMUA Academy's founder, celebrity makeup artist and skincare expert Riya Vashisht is telling you what mistakes you should avoid while using body scrub-
Do not use a body scrub on dry skin
Body scrub helps to remove dead skin cells as well as cleanse them deeply. Therefore, most women think that they do not need to wash their skin first. However, it is not like that. Whenever you use a body scrub, you must first wash the body. Also, use a body scrub only when your skin is damp. Body scrubs on dry skin can be too harsh and damage your skin.
Avoid Thick Scrub
The skin of the body is indeed thicker than that of the face. That's why some women use thick scrubs to clean them. But you should avoid doing so. Note that whenever you exfoliate the body, use a mild scrub only. It is gentle on the skin and cleanses it deeply.
Do not massage too much
Most women make a mistake while using a body scrub and that is to apply the scrub on the skin and use it by rubbing it too much. Women think that by doing this the same skin will be cleaned in a better way, while in fact by doing so their skin becomes more sensitive. Some women also have problems with skin irritation and redness by doing this. Therefore, avoid using the body scrub by rubbing it too much. Also, massage the sensitive area with very light hands.
Do not scrub in the wrong direction
Body scrub not only removes dead skin cells but also lifts the skin of your body. Therefore, if the body scrub is used continuously in the wrong direction, it can lead to sagging of the skin soon. To use the body scrub, it is considered best to massage in a circular motion.
Do not massage for half an hour
When some women use a body scrub, they keep massaging it for half an hour while this method is also considered wrong because it makes the skin sensitive. It is enough to massage for 10-15 minutes with a body scrub. However, after washing it off, you can massage it with the cream for about half.
