Body Exfoliators?

[greeneyedangel]

I'm looking for a nice body exfoliator but have never used 1. Can you guys recommend a brand? Preferably drugstore. Thanks!

i hear a salt/sugar scrub is effective and you can do it yourself.

(with an oil..i hear some people use olive oil)

I use the body shop scrubs and I love them. I currently use these:

Scrubs from The Body Shop in Almond and Coconut. They're about $18 each.

As for a drugstore brand i've used i think st ives and liked it pretty good.

are they grainy?

Booth's makes an AWESOME ginger sugar body scrub. it's as grainy as sugar gets! plus it has some great moisturizers in it so after you exfoliate, you feel super smooth...

if you are looking for a non-abrasive exfoliator- look for body washes that contain alpha hydroxy or a salicylic acid, both slough away dead skin without the use of a scrub.

st. ives apricot scrub.

its for face normally, but oh my god it works like nothing else as a body scrub.

I love the Body Shop Africa Spa Salt Scrub. It's a little more expensive, but it's awesome!

Agree, St. Ives and the Body Shop make really good ones. St. Ives should be cheaper, but they're still great. I think they do make scrubs for body, I use the face scrub. You could also try using a loofah or something for extra exfoliation =)
