How often should you use a body scrub or body polish?
If you love soft, smooth, glowing skin, exfoliating can be a wonderful addition to your body-care routine. For most people, once or twice a week is a great place to start. This helps remove dead, dry skin without over-exfoliating.
Of course, every skin type is different. If your skin is sensitive or tends to feel dry, you may want to exfoliate less often and adjust your routine based on how your skin feels.
Why Should You Exfoliate?
Your skin naturally sheds dead skin cells, but exfoliation helps gently buff away buildup that can leave your skin feeling rough or looking dull.
Regular exfoliation can help your skin feel:
- Softer and smoother
- Fresh and refreshed
- More radiant and glowing
- Better prepared for moisturizing
Exfoliation can also be especially helpful before self-tanning. Starting with a smooth skin surface can help your tan look more even and beautiful as it develops.

How to Use a Body Scrub
For a simple and effective exfoliating routine:
1. Start with clean, damp skin.
Cleanse your body first with your usual gentle body wash.
2. Apply your body scrub.
Take a generous amount and gently massage it over your skin using circular motions. There's no need to scrub aggressively—let the exfoliant do the work.
3. Pay attention to rough areas.
Elbows, knees, feet, and other areas prone to dryness can benefit from a little extra attention.
4. Let it sit briefly.
Allow the scrub to remain on your skin for about two minutes.
5. Rinse thoroughly.
Use warm water to wash away the scrub.
6. Pat your skin dry.
Gently pat instead of vigorously rubbing your skin with a towel.
7. Moisturize.
Finish with your favorite body lotion or moisturizer to help keep your skin feeling soft and hydrated.
When Is the Best Time to Exfoliate?
There isn't one perfect time for everyone, but exfoliating in the evening can be a relaxing way to finish your day. It also gives your skin time to feel refreshed overnight.
If you're preparing to apply a self-tanner, exfoliate before applying your self-tanning product. Removing dry, flaky skin can help create a smoother surface and a more even-looking tan.
Can You Exfoliate Every Day?
You generally don't need to exfoliate every day. Once or twice a week is a good starting point for most people.
Exfoliating too frequently or scrubbing too hard can leave your skin feeling irritated or overly dry. Pay attention to your skin and give it a break whenever it feels sensitive or uncomfortable.
It's also best to avoid exfoliating areas that are sunburned, irritated, broken, or inflamed. After shaving or waxing, waiting around 24–48 hours before exfoliating can also help minimize irritation.
Make Exfoliation Part of Your Glow Routine
Taking care of your skin doesn't have to be complicated. A simple weekly routine can make a wonderful difference:
Cleanse → Exfoliate → Rinse → Moisturize → Glow!
With the right amount of exfoliation and plenty of hydration, you can help keep your skin feeling smooth, soft, and beautifully cared for.
