The benefits of adding a scrub to your body-care routine are many. Using a scrub helps exfoliate the skin, which can diminish the frequency of breakouts and ingrown hairs by unclogging pores. Having a clean slate means that everything you apply will absorb better- such as body oils and whips. When dry skin isn’t removed, it can make skin rough to the touch and dull in appearance. By removing the dead, dry cells, you should have smoother and more even skin.
