What are water-based exfoliating scrubs used for?

Water-based exfoliating scrubs are primarily designed to remove rough skin and calluses. These scrubs contain exfoliating agents that help slough off dead skin cells and smooth the surface of the skin, making them particularly effective at softening areas with hardened skin, such as the soles of the feet or areas on the hands that may develop calluses.

The formulation is beneficial because the water-based aspect allows for easier application and often includes moisturizing ingredients that help hydrate the skin as the scrubbing action takes place. This dual action not only aids in exfoliation but can also leave the skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.

While hydration of nails, nail shaping, or polishing may be desired aspects of nail care, they do not directly involve the use of water-based exfoliating scrubs. These scrubs are strictly meant for exfoliation, focusing on skin texture rather than nail appearance or shape.
