Why Body Scrubs & Sprays Are the Perfect Skin Care Duo

Few things in life are as luxurious as taking a warm bubble bath and pampering your skin from head to toe. We’re showing everyone who appreciates a good body oil and body scrub how to use these two together for a body care dream team.

What Are the Benefits of Body Scrubs?

What are the benefits of body scrub products beyond getting a gorgeous glow? As we age, our skin’s natural cellular turnover begins to slow down — and that means dullness and dryness. Fortunately, regular exfoliation buffs away dead skin cells to reveal brighter, younger-looking skin. Exfoliation also helps your favorite skincare products absorb more easily into the skin and can help prevent clogged pores and blemishes. Plus, the whole body scrub experience melts away stress to help you relax and unwind.

How to Use Body Scrubs and Body Oil Sprays Together

Once you’ve chosen your favorite combination of Desert Essence body scrubs and body oil sprays, it’s time to play matchmaker for skin you’ll love. Use your body scrub first in the bath or shower once or twice per week to help the body oil spray absorb into your skin more easily. 

Apply your body scrub on damp skin using either your hands or a shower pouf, working it into a lather and then massaging it all over your body in circular motions to buff away dead skin cells with ease. Rinse your skin and pat yourself dry with a towel before moving on to your body oil spray.

Pro Tip: Pay special attention to rough elbows, knees and heels. 

Next, spritz the body oil spray into your hands or directly onto clean, damp skin. Gently massage the oil into your skin until it’s fully absorbed… and voila! Glowing, radiant-looking skin that looks as good as it feels.
