Body scrubs Although exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter skin, using a scrub with too many coarse grains or harsh acids can irritate, damage the skin barrier, เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย or even dry out and peel the skin, especially for sensitive or problematic skin.

Natural body scrubs that you should be careful of

Many people think that natural ingredients are safe, but in reality, there are many types to be wary of. 

• Lemon : High in citric acid, it acts like fruit acids that help exfoliate the skin. However, if used in high concentrations or used as a scrub directly on the skin, it can make the skin thin, irritated, dry, or sensitive to light, making it easy for freckles to appear. Moreover, if used together with the sun without washing it off thoroughly, there is a risk of immediate skin burns or peeling.
  
• Coarse salt : Salt that has not been finely ground. The grains of this type of salt may have sharp edges, easily scraping the skin, causing small scratches that are invisible to the eye. This risks irritating the skin and disrupting its balance. However, if it is finely ground or made specifically for the skin, such as Epsom Salt or Dead Sea Salt with fine grains, it can be used on the body (should not be used on the face).
  
• Baking soda : Despite its reputation for cleaning, baking soda is too alkaline for human skin, which naturally has a pH of around 5.5. Frequent use of baking soda can damage the skin’s protective barrier, leading to dry skin, acne, or chronic irritation.
  
• Apricot Kernel : Many brands use it in scrubs, but the crushed kernels tend to have sharp, rough edges, which can cause more abrasion than exfoliation, which can leave behind a dull complexion or, in the long run, can make your skin more susceptible to inflammation.
  
• Walnut Shell Powder : Although it may seem like a natural alternative, ground walnuts have a rough, sharp texture similar to apricot kernels. Continuous use can cause micro-tears, or small cracks on the skin, which can be harmful to the skin, especially the face.

How to choose a safe body scrub

• Choose scrub beads that are fine and do not irritate the skin, such as jojoba beads or rice bran.
  
• Always read labels and avoid products with high fragrances and alcohol.
  
• Exfoliating your skin 1-2 times a week is enough.
  
• Avoid scrubbing your skin if you have a wound, sunburn, or an allergic reaction.
  

Scrubs are a great skin care tool. If you choose the right one and it suits your skin type, avoid ingredients that may harm your skin, and focus on nourishing your skin after scrubbing, you will have beautiful skin without any risk of harm.
