Scrub

A scrub massage, also known as a body scrub, is a self-care routine that involves using a brush or scrub to exfoliate the skin and cleanse the body. It’s a versatile method that can be done at home with various ingredients and tools. Here are some methods and considerations for performing a full-body scrub massage:

  • Dry Brushing: This technique involves gently massaging the body with a natural bristle brush to exfoliate the skin, stimulate the lymphatic system, and increase circulation. Dry brushing is thought to help exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells and revealing smoother skin texture. However, it can also be drying due to its effect on the skin barrier .
  • Food-Based Scrubs: These are homemade scrubs that you can mix using natural ingredients. For example, a coffee scrub combines coffee grounds with coconut oil, sugar, and olive oil to create a natural exfoliant. Another option is a mango-based scrub, which includes sugar, coconut oil, chopped mango, and optional essential oils for added benefits.
