During winter, you’ll probably notice that your skin is dry and flaking at certain parts of your body. This is your body reacting naturally to the skin cells that died, but don’t worry – the ugly flaking can be controlled through exfoliation. Exfoliating your skin regularly not only washes away dead skin cells; it also promotes the growth of a new layer of skin. Brush your skin with a body brush to remove flaky skin before getting in the shower. The best way to scrub your skin is when it’s dry; apply the scrub to your dry skin before turning on the water. For best results, massage your skin with the scrub for five minutes.

Although this is an excellent way to combat dry skin, you should only exfoliate in moderation; if you do this twice a week, it may lead to skin irritation, depending on how sensitive your skin is.
