Top 5 Body scrubs

Slough off dead skin and reveal cashmere soft limbs with these hard working scrubs

1
Clarins Tonic Body Polisher, 250g, £33

WHY WE LOVE IT

This scrub feels so luxurious thanks to its abundance of essential oils.   Rosemary, rosewood, mint sugar and salt crystals slough away those dry skin cells leaving smooth, radiant skin below.

“I am not a great fan of body scrubs as I have sensitive skin.  However, it is required before applying self tan so even though used infrequently, this is the one I would choose.  I use this in the shower to remove any dry skin and massage it gently into legs, arms etc concentrating on elbows, knees and around ankles. It smells lovely and leaves your limbs looking sleek and polished.”

Sanctuary Spa Hot Sugar Scrub, 550g, £13

WHY WE LOVE IT

Massage this scrub into damp skin for an instant warming effect on the skin.  Enjoy the feeling before rinsing off.   The beneficial ingredients of Zeolite and Kaolin Clay alongside the warming effect, help to open up the pores to deliver a deeper cleanse to the skin.  Perfect for a home pamper session.

” It’s got great size granules which feel like they are sloughing off the skin. Great for targeting skin that needs a really good, thorough exfoliation.”

Payot Gommage Amande Body Scrub, 200ml, £14.39

WHY WE LOVE IT

After use, our skin was left smooth thanks to the microfine particles made from almond shells and pistachio butter.  Jojoba, sweet almond and apricot kernel oil left our skin feeling nourished and extremely silky.

“I’m a sucker for smells and the scent of this is incredible. It smells like the best almond and pistachio ice-cream you can ever imagine. It distributes really easily over your body and the nicest thing about it is that if you use it after your body wash it leaves a lovely silky scented non-greasy film, which means you can skip body lotion. Super lovely hydrated skin. Large granules make it really effective.”

Ren Anti Fatigue Exfoliating Body Scrub, 150ml, £18

WHY WE LOVE IT

Use this product on dry skin before you hit the shower.  It feels like it’s invigorating your skin straight away!  Wash off and you’re left with the softest skin.  The magnesium (epsom) salts have a lovely spa like scent that make you feel truly pampered.

“I absolutely love the smell of this scrub, it makes me feel like I’m in a spa!  This is quite a coarse textured scrub that you use before you shower.  I have quite robust skin so like to use something that feels like it’s working.  After showering, my skin feels silky smooth with a very light oily texture and smells lovely”

Soaper Duper Zesty Lemon Body Scrub, 250ml, £9.50

WHY WE LOVE IT

We love the fact that the ingredients in this product are 84% naturally derived and cruelty free.  It smells amazing and refreshing.  A great one for those with sensitive skins as it isn’t too harsh or drying.

“I’m a bit of a body scrub fanatic actually and I love this one but it did take a bit of getting used to as it foams, which I didn’t expect. It’s really, really easy to lather up all over you as if you were using a body wash but once it’s lathered up it is super effective and you can feel the granules working. It rinses off really easily, smells really fresh and delicious and has no sulphates. Super quick and easy if you’re in a rush.”
