Body Scrub FAQ

How often should you use a body scrub?

Two to three times a week is the sweet spot for most people. That is enough to keep skin smooth without irritating it. If your skin is sensitive, start with once a week and build up from there.

What is the difference between a body scrub and a body polish?

A body scrub uses sugar crystals to lift away dead skin. A body polish uses a finer ground exfoliant like pumice for a smoother, more buffed finish. Scrubs are the everyday option, polishes go a step further on rough patches.

Should you use a body scrub before or after shaving?

Before. Exfoliating first lifts away dead skin and helps free ingrown hairs, so your razor glides cleaner and you get a closer shave with less irritation.

Do sugar scrubs moisturize?

Sugar scrubs exfoliate first, but the oils carry the moisture. Nectar Life sugar scrubs are made with sweet almond oil, shea butter, and coconut oil, which condition skin as you scrub. Follow with body butter while skin is still damp to lock it in.
