Skin Care Tip: Salt scrub shaving

Tip description / details:
I read about the benefits of men using an exfoliating scrub before shaving to prevent ingrown hairs and to slough off dead skin cells to allow for a closer shave. I thought if it worked for shaving faces, it may be worth a shot on legs as well. Prior to shaving your legs, exfoliate using a moisturizing salt or sugar scrub. The scrub helps lift the hair, and gets rid of dead skin cells. The emollient serves as a lubricant for shaving. It helps eliminate ingrown hairs and allows for a closer shave without nicks.

Ingredients:
Typically sugar or salt, essential oils, glycerin...

How to prepare:
Make sure to stir the product thoroughly prior to use.

How to use:
Massage scrub thoroughly into skin. Shave. Rinse. Pat dry. The scrub serves as shave gel and moisturizer in one.

Costs involved:
