Green Day Thursday: Editor’s Picks—Best Organic Scrubs & Exfoliants (Remix)

TLC’s platinum 1999 hit, “No Scrubs” from their album “Fan Mail” is the definitive girl anthem that gave a whole new meaning to the word “scrub.”

Formerly known as a loser, jerk, idiot ______ (you fill in the blank), men who are not worth the space they are taking up on the planet became known as scrubs.

tlc no scrubs best organic scrubs blinging beautyA scrub is a guy that thinks he’s fly

And is also known as a buster

 

Always talkin’ about what he wants

And just sits on his broke ass

A scrub is a guy that cant get no love from me

Hanging out the passenger side

Of his best-friend’s ride

Trying to holler at me

Look at that scrub thinkin he can holla at me.

In the real world world of beauty, every well-maintained woman keeps an arsenal of scrubs—one for practically every body part. Scrubs, also known as exfoliants or exfoliators come in various forms—chemical and physical.

Physical exfoliation is the most popular type of scrub. It involves good old elbow grease and a product comprised of ground or powdered seeds, pits, sugar or salt in some type of cream or paste.

Microdermbrasion, originally only found in physician’s offices, took physical exfoliation to a whole new level. Now, in the comfort of your own home, microdermabrasion creams (a more refined exfoliant) are at your fingertips for effective scrubbing.

Why exfoliate?

Our skin, (30 layers deep, 16 on the outer layer) naturally exfoliates every 28 days. However as we age the process slows down. So we have to take matters in our own hand to speed up the process, thereby producing fresh skin.

Exfoliating has significant benefits for your skin—face and body. Additionally, all skin types benefit from proper exfoliation.

• Eliminates of excess noticeable dry skin.

• Allows moisturizer to penetrate more easily.

• “Unplugs” clogged pores, allowing acne treatments to work.

• Improves tone and texture of sun-damaged and aging skin.

Scrubs come in many formulas, including natural, green organic types.
