Drawbacks of Body Scrubs
A problem with body scrubs is that they may cause your skin to dry excessively when used too much. Thus, it is better to apply lotion right after using a body scrub to retain moisture and prevent skin irritation. Some studies have also shown that physical exfoliation may lead to a temporary disruption in the skin barrier. Thus, at-home exfoliation products and body scrubs would not be suitable alternatives to professional treatments. [3]
