next time you exfoliate your bod in the shower, instead of wetting your skin very first before you get down to it, try applying your scrub to your skin while it’s still dry, with the shower turned off. Then, after scrubing your bit heart out, turn on the water as well as rinse.
Sooo, why would anybody do it this way?

LOL! great question… No, however seriously, I believe I get a better, much more intense scrub when I scrub while my skin is dry. My skin feels softer as well as squeakier clean than when I scrub while it’s wet.
The very first time I heard about doing it this method was at a health spa years ago, but, wouldn’t you understand it? After getting home, I quickly forgot.
But I kept in mind after seeing it discussed just recently in a magazine. I believe it was this month’s Allure… There’s an short article in there about multitasking as well as getting the most out of your shower time.

Anywho, I did it last night with three different exfoliating scrubs. I hopped in the shower (with the water off) as well as utilized one of the scrubs on my arms, one on my torso as well as the other one on my legs. then I stood there for few minutes scrubbing whatever south of my neck.
Doop-da-doo…
After I turned on the water as well as rinsed, my skin felt smooth as a baby’s bottom — smoother, I feel, than it would have had I utilized the scrubs on wet skin.
And I’m sure I likewise ended up utilizing less product.
By the way, the three scrubs I tried last night were…
Tree Hut Vanilla & Honey gentle Oatmeal Scrub ($7.99) — This gentle, non-abrasive creamy scrub smells faintly of yummy oatmeal cookies. Mmm… Oatmeal cookies…
Soap & Glory Flake Away ($15) — This extremely moisturizing, aromatic scrub (the strong scent reminds me of the old Dior miss Cherie, which I loved) includes shea butter, sugar as well as quite huge scrubby bits, so it’s a bit much more intense than the Tree Hut gentle Oatmeal Scrub. It likewise leaves behind a somewhat oily residue.
I truly such as this one. It did the business, as well as my skin felt soft as well as great.
Clarins exfoliating Body Scrub for Smooth Skin ($38) — This creamy concoction has medium-sized scrubby bits made of natural bamboo fibers as well as a extremely faint, practically imperceptible peach scent.
It likewise did a fantastic job. Plus, I didn’t have to utilize much, as well as it didn’t leave behind an oily residue.
