Just like the skin cells on your face, the skin cells all over your body regularly shed to reveal new and healthier skin underneath. As you get older, the turnover process slows. To accelerate this process, you should turn to body scrubs to keep your skin glowing and healthy. By massaging a body scrub over your body, the exfoliating granules help to slough off the dead skin that have been building up on your skin. Not only do body scrubs exfoliate your skin, but also drains your lymph nodes by increasing blood flow to the skin’s surface.
