Body Exfoliation - Why You Need It + The Best Way to Scrub Your Body
Why body care is important
Taking care of the skin on your body is about so much more than what’s on the surface. Of course, we want soft, glowing, youthful, and clear skin and for those reasons, we use certain cleansers, moisturizers, and body serums.
When we treat our bodies with scrubs and massage there are actually so many internal benefits as well as external skincare benefits we receive. Believe it or not, when you start incorporating body scrubs and massage into your at-home wellness routines it benefits your immune system, reduces inflammation, and helps you to feel more energized.
Body care benefits us both internally and externally!
scrub me secret: body care is a big passion of mine because of personal reasons. my skin on my body is dry, reactive, and sensitive. therefore it needs a lot of care. if my skin isn’t cleansed using the right products and treated with exfoliation and moisturizer consistently then it ends up dry, and sensitive and I develop new stretch marks and other skin ailments. This is why I keep up with my body care.
Why you should scrub your body
Physically exfoliating your body creates oxygen flow and circulation, which is great for skin and whole-body health.
Scrubbing properly removes dead cells to allow for proper absorption of moisturizer.
Having a consistent body exfoliation routine keeps skin firm and youthful.

Did you know scrub me started as a sea salt body scrub company? A physical body scrub made using sea salts, coffee, or sugar used to be my go-to way to exfoliate. But as time went on I found there were better body exfoliation options that required less use of product and less mess in the shower.
This is why the body scrub gloves are the best for treating your body to a full exfoliation:
Using the body scrub gloves requires no product and makes ZERO MESS
They are a great way to both rid your skin of dry/dead cells and give yourself a lymphatic treatment
The body scrub gloves are more gentle than a dry brush, they won’t leave your skin raw or sensitive ever
They are easy to throw in the washing machine and dry quickly
You can use them anywhere, at anytime
