Q1: What is a body scrub used for?

A body scrub is mainly used to remove surface dead skin and leave the body feeling smoother. Different formulas can also be positioned for tan care, rough skin or specific body-care concerns.

Q2: Which body scrub is good for tan removal?

Coffee, AHA and de-tan scrubs are common choices. The current Nykaa selection includes mCaffeine coffee scrubs, Chemist At Play Natural AHAs Body Scrub and Plix Peaches & Lemon Detan Bump Eraser Scrub.

Q3: Is body scrub good for rough skin?

Yes. Physical scrubs can help remove surface buildup, while lactic acid and glycolic acid exfoliants offer another approach to rough-looking skin.

Q4: Can I use a body scrub every day?

It depends on the product. Strong physical or acid-based exfoliants generally should not be used more often than the product directions recommend.

Q5: Can I use body scrub on sensitive skin?

Choose a gentler formula and avoid aggressive rubbing. If your skin is already irritated, it is better to wait until it settles before exfoliating.

Q6: Can I use body scrub after shaving?

It is better to avoid scrubbing freshly shaved skin, especially if it feels sensitive or irritated. Follow the product instructions and give the skin some time before exfoliating.

Q7: Does body scrub remove tan permanently?

No. Body scrubs can remove surface dead skin and may help improve the appearance of dull or uneven-looking skin, but they won't permanently get rid of a tan. Sun protection still matters.
