How to Use a Natural Body Scrub for Soft, Glowing Skin (Without the Plastic Bits)

Intro: Let’s Talk About Dead Skin

Ever feel like your skin’s lost its sparkle? Dry, rough, slightly scaly like a well-loved lizard? (We’ve all been there.) The good news: a natural body scrub is one of the easiest ways to bring your skin back to life - no harsh chemicals, no plastic microbeads, and no drama.

Here’s how to get the most out of your body scrub - and why our Puremess Grapefruit Body Scrub is a seriously good place to start.


1. Why Natural Body Scrubs Are a Skincare Must-Have

Dead skin cells aren’t just dulling your shine - they can also clog pores, trap dirt, and stop your moisturiser from doing its job.

Using a natural exfoliator once or twice a week helps to:

  • Gently remove dead skin cells

  • Improve circulation (hello, post-shower glow)

  • Help your skin absorb oils and creams more effectively

  • Leave you feeling silky, smooth, and smug in your softness

And when your scrub is made from Himalayan salt, coconut oil, grapefruit essential oil, and vitamin E? Your skin’s in for a treat.


2. How to Use a Natural Body Scrub (The Right Way)

Step 1: Hop into the shower (or bath if you're going full spa goddess)
Step 2: Wet your skin, then scoop out a small amount of scrub
Step 3: Gently massage in circular motions - focusing on elbows, knees, and other dry zones
Step 4: Rinse off, pat dry, and admire your beautifully buffed bod
Step 5: Moisturise afterwards to lock in hydration

✨ Top tip: Use it before shaving or fake tanning for a smoother result.
