Body Scrubs for Natural Beauty
There are number of Beauty Products in the market but Body Scrubs are very
essential among them because they help to remove dead cells from your body
and keeps them smooth and fresh looking. Normally skin sheds dead cells
every day but after the age of 35, the dead cells that make up the outer
layer of your skin are not shed as rapidly as when you were younger. As dead
cells accumulate, they make your skin look dull and dry and you lose the
healthy, radiant look that characterizes youthful skin.
You can
improve the appearance of your skin by regularly removing the top layer of
dead skin cells, a process called exfoliation. Exfoliation is accomplished
by using grainy scrubs that physically remove dead cells through gentle
abrasion, or fruit-enzyme skin peels or alpha-hydroxy acid skin peels, which
dissolve the top layer of dead skin cells.
• Natural Scrubs: Natural scrubs are made from finely ground
fibrous plant material such as oatmeal, corn meal, almonds, and apricot
kernels. Be cautious when using grainy scrubs, because many are too harsh to
use on the delicate skin of your face.
• Fruit Enzyme Skin Peels:
Fruit-enzyme peels are made from fruit or vegetable enzymes that exfoliate
the skin in approximately 20 minutes without scrubbing. Dead skin cells are
composed primarily of protein, and enzyme peels digest the dead skin cells
on the surface of the skin without harming new cell growth. Enzyme peels are
gentle exfoliators and leave skin noticeably smoother and softer after only
one treatment.
• Alpha Hydroxy Acid Skin Peels: Alpha-hydroxy
acids are natural exfoliators derived from foods such as citrus fruits
(citric acid), sour milk (lactic acid), grapes (tartaric acid), sugar cane
(glycolic acid), and apples (malic acid). Alpha-hydroxy acids improve skin
texture and color, reduce fine lines and age spots, and make pores appear
smaller. Although you will usually notice smoother skin after the first
treatment, you'll need to use alphahydroxy acids on a regular basis for two
months or longer to see a significant improvement in skin texture and
diminishment of fine lines.
