One of my favorite indulgences is a Korean body scrub. You literally get all the dead skin scrubbed off you in what seems like layers until you're left with baby smooth skin. To get the same results in your own bath, follow these tips:
The Right Scrub is Key
I prefer sugar scrubs to the drying salt scrubs. Be careful with the type of scrub you get, some cheap versions have large granules that can tear at the skin. My favorite basic scrub is Vitabath Sugar Scrub Spring Green.. For pure luxury and indulgence, I reach for Red Flower's Ohana Gingergrass Bamboo Scrub..
Scrub Towards Your Heart
This beauty secret of spas makes sense to me. Start at your feet and massage the scrub in a circular motion up the legs and the torso. Continue at your fingertips and massage up the arm.
Don't Scrub Every Day
Avoid overexfoliating by scrubbing a couple times a week. If you have sensitive skin, consider a lighter touch.
Don't Scrub After You Shave
You risk stinging your skin. I do, however, suggest a good scrub before you shave which will remove dead skin cells so they don't clog up your razor.
