What is body polishing?

Body polishing is a process of exfoliating the skin using a chemical. Many products will do this, but the most common is alpha hydroxy acid which is found in many natural ingredients like sugar, milk, and wheat.

These acids penetrate the skin and remove dead skin cells to leave the skin feeling smooth and soft. It's a great way to prep your skin for a heavier moisturizer. It will open up your pores and allow the moisturizer to penetrate the skin better.

Steps involved in body polishing

- Cleaning: A professional will wipe your body with a wet towel or ask you to take a quick shower

Scrubbing: The first step is to apply the body scrub to your body and massage it for about five minutes on the entire body. It helps in the exfoliation and removal of dead skin. It is also great for brides who experience skin darkening in certain areas of their bodies. After removing the scrub, wash the body with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Moisturizing: A body lotion or oil is applied on your legs, arms, back, and face.

Massage: It improves blood circulation, and as the oil is absorbed into your skin, it leaves your skin super soft and supple.

Additional Tip: A body pack is applied and left for about five-ten minutes before a bath. 

 

Body polishing at home quick tips:

If your want to do body polishing by yourself, here is a few quick tips that will help:

  • You can prepare and store the body polish or manufacture it as needed. If you're going to keep it, make sure you complete it within a month. These items are entirely natural and contain no preservatives. As a result, they won't last long.
  • When washing a specific area of your body with the polish, be careful not to over-scrub it. Otherwise, you'll end up with unsightly scratches.
  • Oil is present in the polishes. As a result, exercise extreme caution when using them in your bathroom. The floor will become slick when you wash them away.
  • None of these should be used on wounds or cracked skin.
  • Before using any body polish, consider your skin type.
  • Use body polishes with sea salt or bath salts if you have oily skin. It contains essential oils, which destroy microorganisms while keeping your skin healthy and shining.
  • Choose a brown sugar-based body polish if you have dry skin (simply use brown sugar instead of white sugar). Brown sugar nourishes and hydrates your skin.
  • If you have sensitive skin, choose a body polish containing shea butter. It soothes your body and does not irritate it.

Benefits of body polishing

Skin exfoliation is essential in maintaining healthy skin. Many think they do not need to exfoliate their skin because they use face scrubs and body washes daily. Still, the dead skin cells removed with these methods are not deep enough to reveal soft, smooth skin. Body polishing will remove the dead cells on the surface and reveal smooth and soft skin, making your skin look healthy and glowing.

It also helps prevent acne and pimples, especially when done before a special occasion or when prone to breakouts. It evens your skin tone and makes it look even and bright. It is a great way to get a glowing effect without going to a salon.

 

Difference between body polishing and body spa

Body polishing is chemical exfoliation, whereas a spa is a physical exfoliation. A spa is when you use a scrub or some sort of brush to manually scrub off your dead skin cells. Body polishing uses acids to exfoliate the skin and remove superficial layers. In contrast, a spa uses materials like salt or sugar to work on the skin. Both are great and provide different benefits, but body polishing at home is a much easier process.

 

Best time for body polishing for brides at home

Most brides do the body polishing one or two days before their wedding. It is best to do it before your wedding because the chemicals will open up your pores and allow the moisturizer to penetrate the skin better. Also, it is an easy process to do and does not require much time to do it

 

Frequently Asked Questions: Boldy Polishing

Can I apply body polish daily?

No, you should not apply body polish daily. Sugar or salt grains exfoliate dead skin in body polish. Excessive use of body polish might cause your skin to become more sensitive and dry.

Is it okay to put body polish on my face?

No, because the skin of your face is more sensitive and thinner than the rest of your body, you should not apply body polish on it.

Are body polish and body wash the same thing?

No, there is a significant distinction between body polish and body wash. A body wash is a liquid cleanser that is used daily. In contrast, a body polish comprises chemical peels, sugar, or salt grains to exfoliate dead skin.

Can we polish our bodies after waxing?

No, wax your body two days before using body polish for smooth and glowing skin.

Which is more effective, body scrub or body polish?

A body polish is preferable to a body scrub. A body scrub only exfoliates dead skin and increases blood circulation. A body polish not only eliminates dead skin but also hydrates and nourishes the skin.
