Body scrubs are a skincare product you must have lying in your vanity. What’s not to love about them anyway? They do a far better job at cleansing your skin than a regular soap bar and come with an interesting choice of ingredients. Having said that, aggressive scrubbing can cause redness, irritation and clogged pores. When selecting a body scrub, keep your skin type in mind, and more so if your skin is naturally sensitive to certain ingredients!
