Potato and beetroot are familiar and mild, which is why they appear in scrubs for everyday use. They bring a gentle, earthy base, and the scrub texture helps lift dead skin.
- Potato: a classic in home skin care.
- Beetroot: a rich colour and a soft feel.
- Use a small amount only.
- Rinse thoroughly, as beet can tint the skin.
Making it part of a routine
Pair a weekly scrub with a regular face wash and moisturiser, and always use sunscreen the next day.
