Exfoliating body cream

Why Scrubbing Alone Doesn't Cut It

Most people grab a loofah or scrub thinking it'll give them smooth skin. But here's the thing—physical scrubbing often leaves behind flaky patches or redness. That's because dead skin cells cling more stubbornly than you think, especially if you have dry or bumpy skin.

Chemical Exfoliants vs. Physical Scrubs

Did you know chemical exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs break down bonds between dead cells so they rinse off easily? Physical scrubs just push them around unless they're paired with gentle, creamy bases. The right exfoliating body cream blends both approaches for better results, all without irritation.

The 3 Features That Matter Most

• Balanced exfoliants: Look for creams with mild acids (like lactic or glycolic)—2–5% is plenty for body use.
• Moisturizing ingredients: Shea butter, glycerin, or squalane lock in hydration after exfoliation.
• Non-abrasive texture: Fine, rounded beads or fruit enzymes work better than rough salt/sugar granules.

Getting the Most Out of Your Body Cream

Apply your exfoliating body cream on damp skin, after you shower. Massage in circles—don’t forget elbows and knees. Twice a week is usually enough. If your skin’s sensitive or prone to keratosis pilaris, stick to once weekly and patch test first.

Common Mistakes That Slow Your Progress

• Using body cream on broken or sunburned skin—wait until you’re healed.
• Scrubbing harder to “speed up” results—that just inflames your skin.
• Skipping moisturizer after exfoliation—dryness ruins the smoothing effect.
• Ignoring SPF—newly exfoliated skin is extra sun-sensitive.
