How does the combination of sugar, sea salt, and berry juices affect the skin, and is it suitable for sensitive areas?

BISOU Body Scrub "Juice Therapy" is designed to address roughness on the arms, legs, elbows, and knees through a two-step exfoliation process. The physical polish comes from sugar crystals and sea salt. Sugar dissolves gradually with water, offering a gentler mechanical exfoliation, while sea salt provides a more invigorating, deeper polishing effect. This combination helps remove dull, dead surface cells mechanically.

Simultaneously, the scrub contains wild strawberry juice and bilberry juice. These juices are rich in alpha-hydroxy (AHA) acids and antioxidant compounds. The AHA acids help loosen the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to rinse away more easily. This chemical action complements the physical scrubbing, leaving the skin looking more even, radiant, and supple without the harsh, dry after-feel often associated with salt-based scrubs. The inclusion of coconut oil helps maintain skin suppleness and reduces the tight feeling that can occur after rinsing.

While effective for body areas prone to thickening skin like elbows and knees, caution is advised for more sensitive areas. The source material explicitly states to avoid use on damaged or irritated skin and to not apply near the eyes. If you have sensitive skin on your body, test a small area first. The fruit acids may increase sensitivity to sunlight, so it is important to use sun protection on exposed areas after use.
