14 best body scrubs

1. The Body Shop White Musk Sensual Soft Body Polish,

Tester says: "I love the smell! It's very fresh and clean, not too pungent and it's also a very nostalgic fragrance for me, as I used to wear Body Shop's White Musk perfume in high school. I love the packaging: it's sleek, easy to open and doesn't create a mess. The fact that it happens to match the colour scheme in my bathroom is just an added bonus. It's a very fine, granular scrub. The grains are so small that they're not in the least bit abrasive on your skin. I have sensitive skin and some scrubs can just be too harsh for my skin, but that's not the case with this product.


This body polish leaves my skin feeling just the way you would expect after using this product ... polished. Plus, it is highly moisturizing. My skin feels silky soft afterwards and stays that way all through the day. I would definitely buy this scrub. It's got a great fragrance and really leaves your skin feeling fresh. It's so reasonably priced, too."

2. Alba Sea Salt Body Scrub,


Tester says: "This scrub smells heavenly: it's invigorating, very grapefruit and lime with an undertone of nut oil to balance the scent. The first time I used it I was in a rushed, grumpy mood and decided to quickly use some in the shower. As I rubbed it into my shoulders and arms I was first very impressed with the quality of exfoliation. Then the salt began to disintegrate and my skin was silky smooth -- like nothing I had ever experienced. Suddenly my all my worries had lifted and I spent 30 minutes indulging in a full-body exfoliation, completely forgetting why I was grumpy in the first place. (I'm not plugging the product - this is all true!) Plus, something in it is fighting the terrible breakouts I sometimes get on my chest and back -- my skin is smooth, clean and actually nice.

Tester says: "The scent is nice, very refreshing and subtle. It's a good scrub, but a bit abrasive for my skin, although it would work well for someone who needs stronger exfoliation. My skin feels supple and soft -- very smooth!

4. Escents Unscented Salt Scrub,
Tester says: "I'm picky about fragrance -- I don't like anything strong or that smells too fake -- so this scrub is perfect for me, and for anyone else sensitive to scents, as it starts out unscented and you can add your own essential oils​

5. Origins Incredible Spreadable Scrub Ginger Body Smoother,


Tester says: "I adore the spicy citrus-and-ginger scent of this scrub -- it helps wake me up in the morning and leaves me wanting to sniff my skin all day. The scrub makes my skin super smooth, even my feet, although I do have to be careful as it makes the bottom of the tub a bit oily. "​

Cake Sinfully Smoothing Brown Sugar Scrub in Sweet Cheeks,

Tester says: "My skin was so smooth and soft! The scrub has larger grains than I'm used to -- but it does such a better job than any other scrub I've used! The smell was very rich and deliciously sweet, nice for a pampering treat. It's the best scrub I've ever used.

7. Chanel Body Excellence Revitalizing Smoothing Scrub,

Tester says: "This scrub is stickier than other ones I've used in the past, but it feels nice going on, like you're actually getting some traction. It's not oily and it doesn't chunk up like some scrubs. It's in a tube, it's easy to use and, like any Chanel product, the packaging looks stunning and crisp. The smell is quite perfume-y and best for those who like strong scents --

I noticed a huge improvement in my skin -- I have those little red bumps on the backs of my arms, and after using the Chanel scrub to exfoliate there, I saw and felt a noticeable improvement.

8. Dermalogica Exfoliating Body Scrub,

Tester says: " The scent is medicinal with an undertone of patchouli, -- it smells no-nonsense, like it's doing some good rather than just making me smell nice. The packaging is great -- it's in a squeeze tube with a wide bottom, so it sits well in the shower, and the consistency of the product means it doesn't gunk up around the lid.

I've received compliments on the softness of my skin -- I used to have to moisturize or I would have scaly skin on my lower legs, but I have that less now because I think it's being sloughed away.

Aveda Smoothing Body Polish,

Tester says: "I love Aveda products, and this one is no exception. The smell is very natural, and the scrub comes in an easy-to-use squeeze tube. It feels wonderful on my skin, with small grits that lather nicely, and afterward, my skin feels fresh and very clean and I smell great! It isn't nearly as messy as other scrubs I've tried, and it's very gentle --

H20+ Sea Salt Skin Slougher,

Tester says: "This scrub feels wonderful on my skin. It smells really seaweed-y in the package, but when you rinse it off a minty freshness comes out. My skin feels so soft and alive after I use it."

Guinot Gommage Facile Smoothing Body Scrub,

Tester says: "This scrub has a pleasant floral scent that is feminine and fruity. It feels excellent on the skin, not at all oily, sticky or soapy. Loofah particles form the 'grit' of the scrub but do not feel at all rough or gritty. The fact that this product contains no salt is nice, because it can be safely and comfortably used over problem skin without pain.

The scrub significantly moisturizes and softens my skin, After using the scrub, my skin feels softer and finer than if I had used lotion, and it's gentle enough for daily use.

Kiss My Face Obsessively Organic Sugar Reef Organic Sugar Body Scrub,

Tester says: "This scrub makes my skin feel amazing -- it left it really soft and super smooth for days. The sugar exfoliates and then gently melts into your skin with the orange oil and grapefruit oil. The smell is very clean and fresh, like you are walking in a field of citrus trees. Yum! It's in a tub and separates a bit, so you do have to get in there and mix it up before using and be careful not to spill the oil --

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Body Scrub,

Tester says: "My skin feels smoother! The grapefruit scent was energizing in the morning, and it lingered on my skin. The scrub is not too rough, perfect for my sensitive skin, although I would still only want to use it once or twice a week. One of my pet peeves with exfoliators is finding grains still clinging to my skin once I've gotten out of the shower but I never had a problem with this one --

Origins Cocoa Therapy Body-Buffing Scrub,

Tester says: "I definitely feel that this scrub has made my skin softer. Areas such as my legs and arms, where I have some dry skin and little bumps, have totally improved.



The scent is a combination of cocoa and orange, very strong in the package, but it doesn't leave a strong scent on your skin, just the smallest hint of something sweet. I'm impressed with this product."
