What is a body scrub?

 

A body scrub is a process that helps rid the skin of the dead cells that have accumulated on its surface.

 

The skin tends to renew its cells and replace them with entirely new cells about every 30 days.

But in some cases, the skin is not able to get rid of old dead cells on its own, or the ability of the skin to renew its cells may decrease, as happens with age, which may reflect negatively on the appearance of the skin, so that annoying symptoms appear on the skin, such as flaking, or dehydration.

 

In such cases, the skin needs external help, and this help may be in the form of a body scrub.
