Each of us wants a smoother skin, but most often, we forget to give the skin the care that it needs. Using moisturizers is not always enough, because they just have a nourishing effect on the skin.

The process of removing dead cells is ensured by a scrub, which should be applied while showering. Gently massage the skin with circular forms, insisting on dry areas of the body and then rinse with warm water. It’s important to note that this type of product should be used no more than two or three times a week because excessive exfoliation can cause injuries to the skin, provoking thereby irritation.

Most often, you’ll find on the market scrubs that have in their composition a moisturizing agent, a part from the one that exfoliates the skin. Here are some examples of such products that you can order:
