BODY SCRUBS

Gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate dull skin with Bathhouse Bakery's Body Scrubs. one of the best natural ingredients to exfoliate your skin. Sugar contains a natural source of glycolic acid that breaks down layers of dead skin and smooths the skin's surface. The crystals gently polish the skin for a vibrant glow.  This exfoliation also speeds up rehydration keeping skin conditioned and moisturized.

What Is a Body Scrub?

Body scrubs physically slough away built-up dead cells on the skin’s surface, and by doing so, they leave your skin smoother, brighter and more radiant. They are primarily made of organic sugar crystals or mineral salt that help capture and exfoliate dead skin. Most sugar scrubs you’ll find on the market are designed for use on the body, but you can also find formulas meant for the face and lips. 

Benefits of Using a Body Scrub

Sugar scrubs can help reveal softer, more radiant skin. Depending on the ingredients in your scrub formula, they can also help moisturize the skin. If you struggle with dullness, dry skin or ashiness, incorporating a sugar scrub into your shower routine may be helpful. If you’re unsure if a sugar scrub is right for your skin, check in with your dermatologist for personalized advice. 

How to Use Sugar Scrubs

During your shower routine, apply a sugar scrub to your skin and gently polish the skin. You should be careful not to over-exfoliate as this can cause issues like dryness or irritation. “How much [exfoliation] is too much, is a very personal question,” says Dr. Engleman. “Some people can only handle exfoliating once a week, while others need to every day.” Read on for a step-by-step breakdown of how to apply them.

STEP 1: Start With Freshly Cleansed Skin

Before you begin using your facial sugar scrub, it’s best to cleanse your skin with a gentle face wash to remove any makeup, dirt, dead skin and impurities from its surface. We love the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser for this because it removes makeup, gently cleanses and hydrates. If you’re exfoliating your body, we recommend Nécessaire The Body Wash.

STEP 2: Gently Massage in Circular Motions

To start exfoliating your body, scoop out enough product to fill the center of the palm of your hand. For your face, a dime-sized amount of product should do the trick. Then, massage the sugar scrub onto your skin in gentle circular motions — the key word here is gentle. You don’t ever want to press too hard, as you could end up irritating your skin, especially on the face. 

STEP 3: Rinse Well and Pat Dry

Once you’ve thoroughly exfoliated your face, rinse the sugar scrub away with lukewarm water and pat your face or body almost completely dry with a soft towel. Be sure not to rub the towel into your skin, as this can create irritation. 

STEP 4: Replenish Your Skin With Hydration

Now that you’re feeling fresh-faced and glowing, it’s time to moisturize. Dr. Michael Kaminer, a Boston-based dermatologist, explains that the best time to moisturize your skin is while it’s still slightly damp, as this helps to lock in hydration. Reach for your favorite oil, lotion or cream, and gently massage it all over. We love the Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream for the face, or the La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+M Triple Repair Body Moisturizer for Dry Skin  for the body. 

STEP 5: Apply SPF and Makeup

If you used this exfoliating treatment in the morning, be sure to follow up your moisturizing routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen that offers SPF 30 or higher.  Exfoliating and moisturizing can help create a velvety-smooth canvas for your base makeup products, and you’ll probably notice the difference during the application process. Without flakiness from dead surface skin cells, your foundation, CC cream or concealer won’t pill and will glide on effortlessly.

Directions for use:  Make sure you apply the scrub after you have showered or bathed, and after you have used shower gel, soap, or body wash. Your skin should be clean and prepped for exfoliation. 

Use the provided scoop and apply scrub to a brush or mitt or your hands and gently use circular motions to  rub it into your damp skin. Apply a generous amount to targeted areas of your body maintaining a gentle pressure throughout. Rinse your skin thoroughly using warm water to remove excess particles, then pat your skin dry. Continue with your regular lotion/moisturizing routine, if needed, and you are good to go!

Please limit water contact inside your scrub container as water will affect the integrity of the product and may dissolve some of the crystals and may harden over time. Use supplied scoop to spoon out product.
