The Best Body Scrubs to Use for Your Body
The Best Body Scrubs to Use for Your Body . When I was younger, I didn’t really understand the power of exfoliation. Why would I want to rub a grainy product all over my body and experience little pops of pain every time I scrubbed too hard? But as I matured, I discovered just how wonderful a good scrub can be. Knobby knees? Gone. Dry elbows? Disappeared. Ashy calves? Seen no more. Well, I can now safely say that I AM HOOKED ON SCRUBS. I’ve tried more than I can even count — some of which work, some of which definitely don’t — and I’ve compiled a list of the ones you just seriously have to try.
Carol’s Daughter Sweet Honey Dip Chocolate Brown Sugah Scrub ($34 at carolsdaughter.com): Mmm, chocolate. Trust me, that is the first thing you’ll think when you open up this tub. I immediately wanted to gobble down the scrub … I didn’t, though, so don’t worry! Once I got over my initial feeling of hunger, though, I really started to notice all the cool features of this particular scrub. First of all, I love the tub, which has a silver latch closure that gives it an ancient apothecary feel. The scrub itself is deliciously rich, laced with vanilla bean and brown sugar crystals to exfoliate your skin to your heart’s content. Plus, I love how soft my legs feel after using it! There’s absolutely no need for a moisturizer, as built-in natural oils will condition and nourish your skin. It’s choco-licious.
Klean Yuzu Sugar Body Polish ($11.50 at kleanbathandbody.com): Pure unrefined Mexican cane sugar. Crushed lemon peel. Apricot kernel. Rice bran. It sounds like I’m getting ready for some sort of cooking class, doesn’t it? But no, I’m actually listing some of the ingredients found within this delightful scrub. The crystals are scented with the refreshingly exotic yuzu fruit, which upon smelling instantly makes me think of Japanese gardens. The scrub itself is packed tight, so that when you spread it over your skin it really works to slough away those dead skin cells. And with shea oil baked right into the formula, you’d better believe you’ll come out of the shower with the softest skin imaginable!
Chloe & Jane Pure Sugar Body Polish in Citrus Chamomile ($20 at chloeandjane.com): I don’t usually spend much time exfoliating my hands. I moisturize, of course, but I don’t really like to rub hard crystals all over my extremities — it just hurts too much! Luckily, this scrub is light enough for daily use and never maims my sensitive skin. I come away from each use with hands that are so soft and lush, they could be featured in hand-centric advertisements! And the light, relaxing scent is so amazing to boot — it’s perfect for use right before bedtime.
Frederic Fekkai Shea Butter Body Polishing Moisture Scrub ($28.50 at nordstrom.com): I heart shea butter. It’s honestly one of my all-time favorite ingredients in a beauty product, since when you use it, you’re pretty much guaranteed to come away with uber-silky skin. And this scrub is no different. The grains are enclosed within a creamy, almost body wash-esque texture that feels so wonderful rubbed into the skin. Jojoba wax beads and apricot seeds are perfect for polishing and buffing your skin to a high gleam, while Vitamin B moisturizes and conditions. Plus, it’s contained in a slender tube instead of an unwieldy tub — so it fits perfectly in any shower caddy or along any tub wall!
