Body scrub: when and how should it be used?

A body scrub is a care ritual that gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and impurities that a simple soap or shower gel cannot lift away. By extension, “body scrub” refers to exfoliating products designed specifically for the body. A scrub works thanks to specific ingredients, whether chemical or natural; at L’Occitane en Provence, our body scrubs are all made with natural ingredients such as Almond (Amande) or walnut shell particles, or sugar crystals. These mechanical exfoliants gently remove dead skin cells and impurities while stimulating the skin’s microcirculation through massage. The skin is then smoother, softer and more comfortable, ready to receive moisturising care.

A scrub is used on damp or wet skin by massaging in circular motions, then rinsing thoroughly. Some products can be left on the skin for a few moments before rinsing to enhance their effectiveness. The ideal frequency is once or twice a week depending on skin type: less often for sensitive skin, more regularly for normal or combination skin. A scrub can be used at different moments in a beauty routine: for example, it prepares the skin before hair removal, helps restore softness and radiance after summer, and improves the absorption of the products applied afterwards. For a complete ritual, it can be paired with a scented shower gel followed by a moisturising body lotion or cream.
