The Benefits of a Salt Scrub
The advantages of exfoliation for our faces are frequently mentioned. As dead skin cells accumulate, they can clog pores and lead to acne. Exfoliating your face a few times a week is advised because of this. What about our bodies, though?
Dead skin cells accumulate on our body skin as well, which many people ignore and never exfoliate. An effective body scrub is one of several methods for exfoliating your skin.
The benefit of a salt scrub is that it not only helps to exfoliate dry skin (leading to smoother, softer, and healthier skin), but it also encourages detoxification.
A salt scrub can aid in the body’s natural detoxification processes by stimulating the lymphatic system, which helps us get rid of toxins that have built up in our bodies.
