How Often Should You Use a CBD Body Scrub?

Knowing the frequency of how to use your body scrub is important. It makes you feel organized and enhances the effectiveness of scrub in your body.  You might have met someone claiming that the body scrub is not working well for them. The question is, how often do they use their body scrub? The article below clarifies how to use a body scrub for the best result. First and foremost, let’s begin by knowing what body scrubs are.

What Is It?

According to Packianathan& Kandasamy (2011), CBD body scrubs are mechanical exfoliants that physically remove dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin with abrasive ingredients such as sugar or salt. It speeds the skin cell turnover, leading to smoother, brighter, and possibly preventing future acne breakouts though some body scrubs may not work depending on your skin type. Most people can benefit from body scrubs, but they should consult their doctor first. Scrubs should not be used on sunburns, damaged skin, or even irritated skin.

How to Scrub

If you choose to scrub, you must do so with great care not to damage your skin. To scrub safely at your home, follow the simple tips below.

Scrubbing is the process of removing dead skin cells from the outer layer of your skin. Some people believe that scrubbing improves the appearance of the skin, but it's not for everyone. It might cause more damage than good; therefore, care is needed because every scrub may not work for every skin. It's important to consider your skin type before choosing a body scrub:

• Sensitive skin may be intelligent and burn after a product use
• Normal skin is clear and insensitive
• Dry skin is eccentric, rough, and craving
• Oily skin is greasy and shiny
• Combination skin is dry in some areas and oily in others

Depending on your skin type, homemade scrubs may be used chemically or mechanically.

To prevent skin damage while using body scrubs, dermatologists have recommended the following tips:

1. Considering the skincare products you already use. Some medications may cause your skin to be more sensitive or peel, worsening dry skin or causing acne breakouts.
2. Select an exfoliation method that suits your skin type.  Jin& Laopanupong (2021) showed that those having sensitive or acne-prone skin might not require scrubs. Those with darker skin tones or more aggressive forms may have dark spots on the skin.
3. Be gentle to your skin.  Ravisankar et al.  (2015) advised that when using a body scrub, apply the product slowly using small, circular motions for approximately 30 seconds, and then rinse off with lukewarm and not hot water. Use light strokes while scrubbing. Don’t scrub if you already have open wounds or if your skin is already sunburned.
4. Followed with moisturizer. Scrubbing can be drying to the skin. Apply the moisturizer immediately after scrubbing to keep your skin healthy and hydrated.
5. Finding the right schedule for you. How often you use your body scrub depends on the skin type and the scrubbing method. The more aggressive the scrubbing, the less often it must be done. Take care not to over-scrub, as this could result in irritated and red skin.

Suppose you are unsure about the type of skin you have or have questions about body scrubs. A dermatologist can evaluate your skin and help you decide if you can use body scrubs.
