A good skincare routine for the body includes regular scrubbing. By scrubbing your skin every now and then, you keep your skin clean and healthy. Additionally, scrubbing has a positive effect on shaving and your tan or self-tanner. Worried that scrubbing might be bad for your skin? Below is a clear explanation of how to scrub without doubts.
Is scrubbing bad for your skin?
You have probably heard that scrubbing is bad for your skin. If you do not scrub the right way, this is partly true. But if you simply buy a scrub without harmful ingredients and do not scrub your skin every day, you are fine! It is good to keep in mind that scrubbing is quite intense for the skin, so pay some attention to your skin’s sensitivity. Do not scrub areas that are irritated or dry. Of course, all this is outweighed by the many benefits!
What is the result of scrubbing?
Scrubbing speeds up the renewal process of skin cells. The grains and cleansing ingredients in the scrub remove dead skin cells. This makes room for new skin cells. Cleansing, cleansing, cleansing—that is scrubbing, but combined with a nourishing product, it is extra caring. We have listed all the benefits of scrubbing for you. A body scrub:
- Removes dead skin cells and makes room for new ones
- Reduces the chance of blackheads and pimples
- Makes wrinkles and scars less visible
- Protects against ingrown hairs
- Ensures a longer and more intense tan
- Makes the skin soft and smooth
- Stimulates blood circulation
- Reduces skin aging
- Cleanses the skin intensively
Do I scrub before or after shaving?
Scrubbing before shaving offers advantages. This way you ‘expose’ all hairs and open the hair follicles. This results in a smoother and better outcome. You also remove dead skin cells before shaving, so they do not get into your razor.
Can I sunbathe after scrubbing?
It is best to scrub your skin before sunbathing. This ensures that the tan lasts longer and the process also goes faster. When you scrub your skin, you remove dead skin cells. The horny layer becomes thinner, so the skin that tans after scrubbing is ‘new skin’. The sun tans the skin a bit more intensely.
But do not scrub your skin right before sunbathing. Your skin is still too sensitive after scrubbing. It is best to scrub your body 2 or 3 days before going into the sun. Also use a milder scrub in summer. Your skin already has a lot to endure in summer, so it will be extra sensitive during this period.
And after sunbathing? You can safely continue scrubbing after sunbathing. Just wait until your skin is less sensitive. But you do not have to worry that your tan will completely fade away because of the scrub.
How often can I scrub?
Occasional scrubbing is good for your skin. But scrubbing your skin every day can cause irritation. Scrubbing too much makes your skin dry or irritated. This can clog your pores and make the skin very sensitive.
Scrubbing about 2 to 4 times a month is enough. Then you do not have to worry about damaging your skin. If you have sensitive, dry skin, you might best scrub twice a month, so every other week. But do not forget to apply a nourishing body lotion then as well.
Is there also a natural body scrub?
Your skin can react to certain chemical substances, for example irritation or an allergic reaction. Natural ingredients can work wonders for skin and hair. Haarspullen has a large range of natural skincare. Not sure which body scrub to choose? Below we have listed 2 natural body scrubs that are always a good choice:
ShampooBars Body Scrub Bar Honing - The body scrub from ShampooBars is 100% (micro) plastic-free, contains no sulfates, parabens or silicones and is of course vegan.

Insight Skin Body Scrub - The Insight Skin Body Scrub uses organic ingredients. The scrub stimulates blood circulation and removes dead skin cells. This reduces skin aging. In addition, your skin becomes super smooth and shiny. The body scrub is enriched with organic Rooibos Extract, Quartz Scrub and Cherry Scrub. And is cruelty-free, paraben-free and silicone-free + 100% vegan.
What is a natural ingredient I can add to my skin scrub?
We want to use skin scrubs and other skin care that are also a blessing for our skin. There are all kinds of skin scrubs. Some make them themselves, others prefer a ready-made version. However, in all cases there is a pure oil that can always be added to the skin scrub, and that is pure avocado oil. Why exactly would you do this? Avocado oil is rich in vitamins A, B, D, E, H, K and PP. No other oil is as rich in these vitamins as avocado oil. It is recognized as the best vitamin serum for face and hair! Of course, avocado oil is also rich in precious fatty acids. In addition, it contains a high concentration of squalene, which helps bring the sebaceous glands back into balance.
Nanoil Avocado Oil is cold-pressed, 100% organic and unrefined. It is also officially ECOCERT Certified.
