What is a K-Scrub, anyway? The Korean beauty industry has been keeping this under wraps... services are harder to export than products, after all. It's sometimes referred to as a "Body Polish" and is a staple practice in the land of glowing-skin, Korea.
Here are the Top 9 Benefits:
- Soft, supple skin that absorbs nutrients better, making subsequent treatments more effective
- Enhanced ability for your pores to sweat out waste
- Thorough removal of waste sweated out during the past week, month, or lifetime if it's your first scrub ever
- Fewer ingrown hairs for people who shave
- Shiny skin: say goodbye to ashiness!
- Lymphatic massage, which stimulates drainage and detoxification that is only possible through movement
- Longer lasting freshness after bathing, because no dead skin remains to decay when moisture is added
- It's easy to maintain at home on a weekly basis with a Korean Scrub Mitt (aka 'Italy Towel')
- Intimacy amongst family members; Koreans typically scrub one another and even strangers will offer to scrub you at the more traditional places
