You’re doing everything right—shaving, moisturizing, even drinking more water. But your skin still feels a little... blah. A little dull. Maybe not as soft or glowy as it could be?
Here’s your glow-up clue: you might be skipping one of the most important steps in your routine—body exfoliation.
Let’s talk about how to use a body scrub properly so you can finally feel as smooth as you look.
Why You Should Be Exfoliating
Think of exfoliating as a reset button for your skin.
Your body naturally sheds dead skin cells, but sometimes they stick around and build up—causing dryness, dullness, and rough texture (hello, strawberry legs and bumpy arms 👋). A good body scrub helps:
-
Unclog pores + prevent breakouts
-
Smooth rough patches and KP (keratosis pilaris)
-
Brighten dull, uneven skin
-
Make shaving easier and more effective
-
Help lotions and oils absorb so much better
It’s not just about looking polished—it’s about giving your skin what it actually needs to thrive.
How to Use a Body Scrub the Right Way 💫
Using a body scrub isn't complicated, but a few tweaks can make a huge difference in your results. Here's the routine:
Step 1: Start in a Warm Shower or Bath
Let your skin soften for a few minutes under warm water. This opens pores and loosens dead skin—making exfoliation way more effective.
Step 2: Scoop, Don’t Scrape
Take a generous amount of your scrub (we love Strawberry Kiss Sugar Scrub) and rub it gently between your palms.
It’s whipped, sweet-smelling, and infused with coconut oil and cocoa butter—so it scrubs and moisturizes at the same time.
Step 3: Apply in Circular Motions
Massage the scrub onto damp skin in gentle, circular motions. Focus on rough or bumpy areas like:
-
Legs
-
Thighs
-
Butt
-
Arms
-
Back of shoulders
-
Elbows and knees
Don’t rush! Take your time—it’s part skincare, part self-care.
Step 4: Rinse, Then Pat Dry
Rinse off with warm water and feel the instant smoothness. Pat your skin dry with a towel (don’t rub!) so you don’t irritate freshly exfoliated skin.
Step 5: Lock It All In
Follow up with Beekini Oil or your fave body lotion while your skin is still slightly damp. This helps seal in moisture and keeps your skin glowing all day.
How Often Should You Exfoliate?
2–3 times a week is perfect for most skin types. If you have sensitive skin, start with once a week and build up. Consistency is key—you’ll start noticing a difference within a few uses.
Mi-el Girl Tip:
Want even better results? Exfoliate the night before shaving. It helps lift hair and smooth your skin, so your razor glides effortlessly—giving you a closer shave with fewer bumps.
Bottom Line:
Body scrubs are the secret to glowing, touchable skin—but only if you’re using them right. With just a few steps (and the right product), you’ll feel smoother, softer, and more confident every time you step out of the shower.
