As we are shedding skin all of the time it is impossible to always get rid of it completely and this can lead to a build up of dead skin cells on your body.  This can leave skin feeling bumpy or dry and just looking generally dull.  A scrub, or exfoliator if your prefer, will contain an ingredient for scrubbing whether it be beads, apricot kernel, salt or one of the many others. 

The best way to use a body scrub is once or twice a week in the shower on wet skin use it all over your body scrubbing away dead skin cells using small circular movements.  A general rule is use approximately a 10p piece size of product for each arm, leg etc.  Make sure you pay special attention to places where you noticed particularly dry patches, for example knees or elbows.  Not only will the scrubbing motion get rid of the dead skin but it will also help to increase circulation to help tone and break down fatty deposits.  When finished ensure you rinse off all of the product.

To improve the experience even more make sure you moisturise your skin after the shower to replace any moisture it would have lost and to keep your skin smooth.
