A Body Scrub for Every Body
By Christene Carr If you have naturally beautiful even toned skin below your neck, good for you! This means you can easily get away with having a two step body care routine, that is: cleanse and moisturize. However, if you have dry, uneven skin, you might need to add another step to your routine to even out complexion and reveal your best skin. One of the easiest and fastest ways to even skin tone is to exfoliate. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, increases circulation and makes it easier for skin to absorb your moisturizers and other body treatment products. We rounded up some great body scrubs to get you on the road to fabulous skin from the neck down. Clairvoyant Beauty Blue Green Algae Body Polish Uses sea salt, a host of nourishing butters and oils, and blue green algae to create a scrub that leaves skin smooth and very well moisturized. This is great to use as the final step after a nice shower or a long soak in the tub. $43 Featured_Clairvoyant1
Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Buffing Beads Incorporates jojoba beads as an exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and prepare skin to better receive the active ingredients: glycolic acid, salicylic acid and botanical brighteners. With continued use, this product refines fine lines and improves skin’s texture. Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Buffing Beads is formulated for face and body and works great on more mature skin. $36 Featured_Peter_Thomas2
H2O Plus Oasis Body Scrub An oil-free, moisture rich body scrub formulated with marine crystals and black rice to gently exfoliate skin. It uses bioactive seawater, essential minerals, enzymes and antioxidants to replenish moisture levels in skin. $25 Featured_H2O1
Su-Kari Cotton Blossom Body Scrub Formulated with Turbinado sugar, grapeseed oil, organic coconut oil, sweet almond and Vitamin E, this all natural exfoliant will leave skin smooth, moisturized and lightly scented with clean fresh cotton, peonies, mandarin and freesia. $17.99 Featured_Sukari1
St. Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub Blemish & Blackhead Control This product is made for the face but works great on the body. The 2% salicylic acid in the formula works with the all-natural walnut shell powder to smooth skin and treat any body acne. Works great on backs and chests for breakouts. $5.44 Featured_StIves1 Tip: While it is important to use sunscreen at all times on all exposed areas of the body, exfoliating increases the risk of sun damage.
