Natural bath scrubs that exfoliate and soften the skin are made up of an abrasive for exfoliation, a moisturiser for soft skin, and ideally, natural ingredients that nourish the skin and provide a pleasing aromatic benefit.   Natural bath sea salt, sugar, seeds, rice, bran and oats are often used for their granular and mineral properties; and honeys, milk-based creams or essential oils, such as those used for natural bath oils, are frequently used in natural bath scrubs for their moisturising ability.  Although the most basic combination of an abrasive and a moisturiser will exfoliate and moisturise, finding a natural bath scrub for your personal skin care requirements will nourish your skin and provide you with health benefits from natural herbs and minerals.

The granular properties in natural bath scrubs can range from very coarse sea salts to the gentle grains.  A natural bath scrub that is mixed with coarse sea salt will feel like a gentle massage to the feet, but may feel more like a steel wool pad to the face.   There are, of course, natural foot scrubs and natural face scrubs that are specifically formulated to exfoliate and moisturise their apportioned area, but there are also numerous natural bath scrubs that succeed to expertly exfoliate and moisturise everything from your head to your toes in an all-over body scrub.

A wholesome body scrub with an all-over natural bath scrub should be done at least once a week for maximum benefit for you skin.  Exfoliating the rougher areas, such as feet, ankles and knees more often than once a week, and developing a bathing routine that includes a soothing warm bath with natural bath oils, will keep your skin maintaining a healthy regenerative process, and condition your skin to retain efficient moisture levels.

Natural bath scrubs used with natural bath salts will give your skin a healthy polished glow and provide you with numerous health benefits that contribute to a healthy circulatory system.  Natural bath scrubs with natural bath salts and natural bath oils will give your body the added benefit of contributing to a health respiratory system and providing the relaxing benefits of aromatherapy.   However, if you have open cuts or sores, it’s best to avoid a natural salt bath scrub and enjoy the benefits of the natural bath scrubs made with sugar that won’t irritate or sting the skin.

Here are some more tips on using natural bath scrubs in your skin care regime:

Tip: Make sure your skin is wet before you being using your natural bath scrubs or you will likely suffer some skin aggravation.

Tip: Move your hands in a circular motion when applying natural bath scrubs.   This will contribute to healthy circulation and ensure a smooth even coverage for exfoliation.

Tip: Energize yourself in your morning bath with a mint-infused or coffee-infused natural bath scrub.  Mint is naturally refreshing, and caffeine is absorbed through the skin.  A coffee scrub is also beneficial if you are prone to varicose veins because it works as a vascular restrictor.

Tip: If you have sensitive skin, look for natural bath scrubs with brown sugar instead of white cane sugar.  Brown sugar is far less harsh on the skin.

Tip: If you have extra time to pamper yourself, apply a natural bath scrub with sea salt to your wet skin after you take a bath or shower.   Wait fifteen minutes with the scrub thoroughly massaged into your skin before you wash the salt bath scrub off.   This gives your skin pores more time to open up, and the salt the time to get rid of more toxins and add magnesium to your body.

Natural bath scrubs are an invigorating solution to dry, aging skin and a healthy way to maintain a lustrous youthful appearance.  Take the time to find the right fusion of natural ingredients for a natural bath scrub that will bless your skin with its many benefits, and your skin will glow with a healthful, youthful appearance in the years to come.
