Your skin is dull, rough and losing its firmness: what if it was time for a scrub? This cosmetic treatment allows you to visibly improve the quality of your skin with each application. How does it work and what are its benefits for the skin?

The benefits of exfoliation

Body scrubs are only intended for use on the body and are not suitable for facial exfoliation. Although these two treatments have similar actions, they are each reserved for specific areas of our body. So be careful not to make a mistake!

How does a body scrub work?

A body scrub removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. It is an excellent exfoliant, for a clear and radiant skin. There are two types:

- The chemical action scrub: it is composed of enzymes acting on the epidermis, without the need to scrub. Very gentle, it is perfect for fragile or sensitive skin.

- Mechanical exfoliation: this is made up of small grains that exfoliate the skin as they pass. It can be used with the bare hand or with a horsehair glove.

The results are quickly visible: your skin is clearer and softer!


What are the effects on the skin?

This type of treatment stimulates blood microcirculation, boosts cell renewal and softens the skin: it is visibly smoother and more radiant. No more dry and rough skin!
