BODY SCRUB
What is Korean body scrub?
Korean body scrub or body exfoliator is a body care product that has a granulated, sandy texture to gently slough away dead skin cells and impurities from the skin. They are designed in such a way as they physically exfoliate dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. Sometimes, they can be coupled with ingredients such as AHAs and BHAs which can penetrate deeper into the skin’s layers to eliminate dead skin cells that are trapped within the pores.

Unlike facial exfoliators, the best body scrub Australia has coarser textures that can effectively buff away even rough parts of the skin such as on the elbows and knees. In addition, the best body exfoliator unclogs pores which will help boost the absorption of other body care products like body mists, body lotions or body moisturisers that are applied after showering. With that being said, it is highly recommended to have exfoliators for both your face and body and avoid using body exfoliators on your face as they can be quite harsh and drying especially if you have very sensitive skin.
Why is exfoliating your body important?
Just like our faces, the skin on our body also requires exfoliation to boost cell renewal, soften skin texture, remove dead, dry and dull skin, at the same time ensure that other body care products can be absorbed efficiently into the skin. Exfoliating your body can also help eliminate stretch marks, improve the appearance of cellulite, smooth out uneven skin tone and texture while giving your body a relaxing treatment as you massage the best body exfoliator into your skin. Using body wash alone is not always sufficient when it comes to eliminating dead skin cells from your skin’s surface and those that are trapped within the pores.
Because the skin on our bodies tends to be stronger and less sensitive than our faces, exfoliation as frequent as 3-4 times a week works well for most skin types. Nonetheless, if you have very delicate or sensitive skin, it is recommended to exfoliate twice a week and make any adjustments as necessary. You may also consider using the best body scrub that has smaller granules or softer textures like those made with oats, rice or any other soft ingredient as these will still be effective in eliminating dead skin and leaving you with smoother skin without being too harsh or coarse. Apart from that, you can also opt for exfoliators that contain higher emollients for increased moisture retention.
How to use Korean body scrub?
To use Korean best body scrub Australia, first start by rinsing your skin with lukewarm water to remove impurities from the skin’s surface. Take a small amount of body scrub and apply it to your skin. Using circular motions with your hand or an exfoliating glove, gently scrub your skin for about 30 seconds and then rinse away with water. Pat dry with a clean towel and follow with a body mist and body moisturizer to prevent dehydration.
It is recommended to exfoliate for about 30 seconds, just enough time to remove dead skin cells without over-exfoliating the skin. While exfoliation has its benefits to the skin, it is also important to not over-exfoliate as this may cause damage to the skin barrier or lead to redness and irritation of the skin.
How to select the best Korean body exfoliator in Australia?
Selecting the best Korean body scrub Australia for your skin is similar to choosing any other body care product. First, start by identifying your skin type. If you have oily or normal skin, you can go for almost any type of body exfoliator. However, if you have dry and sensitive skin, it is recommended to opt for something with smaller and softer granules with higher amounts of exfoliants. A general rule of thumb is to avoid anybody exfoliators that contain harsh surfactants, chemicals or parabens which can trigger inflammation of the skin. While a small amount of fragrance can be negligible, it is recommended to avoid heavily perfumed products and go for something made with natural essential oils if you prefer something with fragrance.
In terms of whether you should select natural ingredients or scientific ingredients, the choice is yours! Natural ingredients are often preferred as they are gentler on the skin and ideal for all skin types. Best body exfoliators containing natural ingredients like emollients derived from plant, seed and nut oils work perfectly well for all skin types and they also help boost the skin’s moisture content after exfoliation to prevent excessive dryness. Furthermore, the addition of essential oils instead of perfumes makes natural ingredients-based exfoliators the best choice for most people.
