What is Body Scrub?

A body scrub is a staple skincare product that exfoliates your skin by removing dead skin cells, dirt and other impurities with its particle-based texture (such as sugar or salt).

What is Body Scrub Used for?

Well, when you work the exfoliating formula into dull, dry skin, it polishes away dead skin to reveal smoother glowing skin.

Body Scrub Benefits

Body scrub benefits you need to know about? They gently remove dry skin, for smoother, more even skin that’s beautifully soft. That’s not all, they help to thoroughly clean and unclog pores, which means any dirt and grime is also removed.

How to Use a Body Scrub

1

Cleanse Your Skin With a Body Wash

Many people ask ‘do you use body scrub before or after body wash?’ Well, we recommend applying your body wash first to remove dirt and oil from your skin. Then, it’s time to exfoliate with a creamy Dove Body Scrub.
2

Apply Your Body Scrub to Damp Skin

Swipe a generous amount of your Dove Body Scrub onto your skin and massage it all over your body in circular motions. Top tip: Use a brush, mitt or loofah to really work the body scrub into your skin.
3

Wash Off Your Body Scrub

Rinse off your body scrub with lukewarm water with the same circular motions as before. You may need to brush off any remaining particles under the shower.
4

It’s Time to Moisturize

Next, pat your skin dry with a towel and apply your body lotion over slightly damp skin. This locks in moisture and allows the lotion to further absorb into your skin, leaving it feeling supersoft. Voilà, you’re good to go.

When Do You Use Body Scrub?

We recommend using a body scrub every 3-4 days, but every skin type is different. For example, if you have oily skin, you may want to exfoliate more often, while drier skin types won’t need to exfoliate as regularly.
