Scrub vs. Polish: Best Exfoliator Body Scrub For Self-Care
Being clean makes you revitalized and feeling revitalized means you’re focused on personal wellness. There’s nothing more relaxing than coming home after a long day and taking the time to self-care using the best body exfoliator scrub. Photos Shot By: @kendallfreeman_ Centred around maintaining a #CleanSol, this week’s blog post tackles a product pick that gets down with the nitty gritty. This Week’s Top Product Pick Golden Turmeric & Grapefruit Detox Body Scrub But first, I have to ask: Do you know that there’s a difference between body scrubs and body polishes? I can’t lie and I feel a little embarrassed to say, but I didn’t realize there is a slight difference. After experiencing a self-care revelation, I’m ready to explain why embracing #TeamBodyScrub is the way to go. The main difference between a body scrub and a body polish is the treatment. Here's the deets. In essence, a body polish is a drink for your skin. It’s often mixed with other products to achieve the most optimal end results. Body polishes provide hydration and preps you for further skin treatments. However, when you opt for a body scrub you’re targeting a deeper clean. The goal of a body scrub is to remove dead skin cells. You’ll notice that they are much more abrasive and the texture helps to draw out impurities and smooth out dry and rough skin. So if you've got flakey elbows, knees, or heels, this is your go-to option. When using Pure Sol's best body exfoliator scrub, the turmeric paired with Atlantic salt and shea butter ingredients act as agent to purify and brighten your skin. These ingredients have been known to have some of the highest levels of antioxidants. Some other major benefits: Great for use when trying to remove a tan Decreases UV damage Anti-inflammatory Combats breakouts and acne It’s recommended that you exfoliate your body 1 to 2 times a week. This is important to note because you should be taking into consideration of your skin type. So in other words, if you have sensitive skin then the number of times per week should be repeated with caution. Golden Turmeric & Grapefruit Detox Body Scrub Now that we are full swing into Spring and Summer is creeping just around the corner, honing in on the best body exfoliator scrub will be a key in nurturing a fresh glow. Hand-in-hand with your Konjac sponge, you're almost at the finish line for nailing down a glowing skincare routine. Now that you’re more informed, welcome to #TeamBodyScrub, sis.

Remember how I mentioned makeup wipes were a thing of a past? Yeah, well these are culprits of harsh and harmful chemicals that can throw off the pH balance of your skin.

Moreover, you can use it multiple times a week as it’s safe for most skin types. During your personal care, what you’ll have to do with your Konjac Sponge is: Soak your sponge in water By doing this, it helps to soften your sponge and prep for product application. After use, it’s suggested that you store in a clean and dry area. Apply your cleanser to the sponge A little goes a long way! So, no need to be too generous with cleansing product. The Konjac Sponge will do most of the hard work. Use your fingers to work the product into the sponge. Scrub in circular motions Give your sponge a little squeeze to get rid of any excess water and target those hard-to-reach places. Clean and repeat for the next day! It’s so simple and once you start, it’ll become a habit in no time. I get it, it can be difficult to keep up with a daily skin routine. It almost seems like you need a million products just to achieve minimal results. However, this isn’t necessarily true and it doesn’t have to be that complicated.
