Types of scrubs for different ages
It so happened that scrubs – regardless of whether they are intended for the face or body – are not divided according to age. Why? Everything is simple.
Yes, the skin of the body can be dry (especially on the elbows and knees) or oily and even acne-prone (usually on the back), but beauty products for the body are not divided by skin type. Cosmetics category body is universal.
The skin of the body primarily needs hydration and (for perfectionists) the prevention of signs of cellulite.
Body scrubs come in a variety of formats
Exfoliation at home is done for different purposes:
as part of the usual beauty routine for renewal and smoothness of the skin – once a week;
before applying self-tanner, so that the shade is even;
as a warming and draining agent in the fight against cellulite.

Types of scrubs by particle type and texture
If you think that all body scrubs are the same, then you are wrong. Means differ in composition and – most importantly – in the type of exfoliating components.
natural abrasives. A variety of ingredients can play their role: crystals of sugar and sea salt, crushed seeds of fruits and berries, volcanic rocks ground into dust, as well as microparticles of nut shells. Such abrasives are quite hard, suitable for normal and thick skin or skin in areas prone to coarsening (elbows, feet, heels).
synthetic granules. Scrubs, including soft rounded abrasives, are recommended for people with thin, sensitive and dry skin.
The texture of body scrubs is also varied:
oil well nourishes the skin, preventing moisture from evaporating;
cream easy to use, evenly distributed, cares for the skin;
scrub soap will appeal to those who like to combine two products in one, so as not to waste extra time on personal care (often soap with an exfoliating function is found in men’s cosmetics lines).
Well-known components can act as abrasives.
