Many people describe body scrubs as pleasant and refreshing when showering, and I can definitely confirm that. But it rather gives the impression of a luxury product that one could do without if necessary.
However, I have also used the body scrub differently, more out of „necessity“: I was struggling with itching from mosquito bites, and anyone who knows what that’s like knows that the more you scratch, the stronger the itch becomes. So I tried the Wahre Lebenswerte Body Scrub: I simply touched the scrub with my fingertip and applied this small amount to the itchy spot. Due to the peeling effect, it immediately took away the itch, similar to scratching, but the itch did not return afterwards!
I also tried this once when my skin had an allergic reaction to a detergent or fabric softener: I had scratched myself almost raw and was already told to go to a dermatologist. Even then, with the help of the body scrub, I was able to calm the severe itching, and the skin could heal in peace because I no longer had to scratch. (And by the way: what kind of rubbish is actually in detergent?)
I don’t know why it works: sure, the peeling effect from the fine gemstones itself „scratches“ when rubbed in, and at the same time, the fine oils are gently massaged into the skin, which obviously immediately leads to skin soothing.
As I said: I can’t explain exactly why it works, but that’s what I’ve experienced with it. And that’s why I must never run out of body scrub in my house!
From the very first use of the peel, I found many benefits, among others; the improvement of skin quality, it is silky, like “rejuvenated”, it breathes.
But last autumn, a drop in morale that was starting to strongly impact me gave me the opportunity to discover another of its benefits.
Without having thought about it beforehand, I therefore used the exfoliant, and after a few minutes, I felt much better, relieved of that weight that was burdening me so much.
I could manage the situation, freed from all emotion
Another of its uses that I verify in the summer during hot weather is that it is excellent for relieving heavy legs; in the morning, a light massage of the feet and calves is really very helpful!
I always have a pot of peel at home and I don’t hesitate to recommend it to others!
I developed an extremely itchy rash on my left arm, which ended up spreading over my bicep and was quite inflamed.
After reading everyone’s experiences with the products I decided to try the following combo, which I now call the one, two punch!
I used the body scrub in combination with the toothpaste and it did wonders - the scrub in the shower and a small toothpaste application afterwards.
The body scrub immediately soothed, cooled, and removed the itch, while the application of the toothpaste helped accelerate the healing process and prevented any itching for the rest of the day.
The body scrub is becoming one of my favorites. Out of the cosmetics, it’s definitely the punchiest one, and quite literally leaves you feeling refreshed and brand new!
