Scrubs are good for sloughing away dead cell buildup and product gunk to reveal softer, smoother, and brighter skin. Be careful not to scrub too hard, though, as some areas of our body are particularly thin and sensitive. Just always keep this in mind: Friction causes darkening.
So with that said, here's a list of scrubs you might want to try on various body parts prone to discoloration: elbows, knees, bikini area, and underarms!
1. Skin Genie Black Mallows Fluffy Scrub
This scrub has activated charcoal that "sucks out" dirt. It also has rolled oats for gentle exfoliation, grapeseed oil for hydration, and niacinamide for brightening.
