Body Scrubs 101: Why You Need One, and How to Choose the Best

Can't kick that dry skin spell? You may need more than just lotion. Get the scoop on exfoliating body scrubs for smooth skin, stat

Why you need a scrub
Instead of trying to battle super-dry skin with layers of lotion, you need to get to the root of the problem by using an exfoliating body scrub. It's the best way to slough off dry flakes and buff away roughness to reveal brighter, smoother skin. Better yet, most body scrubs have built in perks, like aromatic properties and essential oils that create a relaxing, spa-like experience right at home. However, selecting the right body scrub is easier said than done.

Which one is right for you?
It's important to be wary when shopping for anything even slightly abrasive, so it's especially crucial to go into the store with all the right info before you actually make a purchase. Here are some tips to help get you started:

• If you have sensitive skin, opt for a sugar scrub. Steer clear of salt scrubs; their detoxifying properties can easily irritate delicate skin.

• If you're prone to body acne, choose a scrub that contains active ingredients, such as glycolic or salicylic acid.

• If you want to exfoliate frequently, look for a product with fine granules. This means it's a mild scrub. If you have tough, rough skin, look for one with large granules for a more thorough scrubbing.

• If you suffer from extremely dry skin, pick a scrub infused with essential oils or a moisturizing cream base. If you have oily skin, look for one with natural ingredients, such as oatmeal, papaya, or lemon.
