There's nothing quite like getting your scrub on. I rock out on the way it invigorates the skin, gives it a glow and leaves it feeling silky smooth. And the choices! Salt, sugar, coffee, jojoba beads, pumice... It's almost like if it's grainy and you've got a body part that needs exfoliation, there's a product that can do it. There's even one area of our bodies that apparently needs exfoliation that I had no idea about - and when I checked with the Crew I found out none of the girls ever do it or even knew to do it - and now we're wondering what the heck we've beeing missing out on! So what's what? What's out there that can help you say bye-bye to dead cells and hello to fresher looking skin? Check these out!
You can't beat a good body scrub. There's nothing I love more than turning off the shower, smothering myself in a sugar or coffee scrub and then buffing it over my skin before rinsing it off and stepping out of the shower feeling silky smooth. What's loved by Beauty Review members? Pure Fiji Sugar Rub, with a rating of 4.9/5 it's got the tick of approval big time!
Do your lippy loos look a bit worse for wear? Dry? Chapped? Like wrinkled prunes? Then a good lip scrub could well work wonders in revealing smoother looking pucker-upper-ers. In fact if you're a fan of wearing matte liquid lipsticks then a good lip scrub is a must! LUSH lip scrubs are especially beloved by many - and who can blame them? They come in delicious flavours and do a fantastic job.
I exfoliate my face twice a week without fail. It keeps the skin looking fresh and bright and not all gunked up feeling. Of course depending on your skin type and what works for you, you may exfoliate less or more. One product that's caught the imaginations of BR Beauties is the Dr LeWinn's Facial Polishing Gel. This gentle exfoliant rated 4.6/5 and can be used on all skin types - but do follow their directions as normal or dry skin can use it once a week, while oily or combo skin can scrub a dub dub up to four times a week.
Maybe you're on your feet all day. Maybe you like to go barefoot as often as possible. Maybe you just have the kind of feed that dry out, crack and cause you grief. Don't ignore the part of your body that takes a daily hammering. Show your feet love with a good scrub, like The Body Shop's Peppermint Reviving Pumice Foot Scrub. Top Rated on Beauty Review at 4.7/5, this is one product that may well sweep your feet off of their feet!
Finally? There's scalp massage, scalp masks, scalp oils, scalp cleansers - and now scalp scrubs. Apparently Leimo Scalp & Body Scrub is formulated to invigorate the scalp, while cleaning away grime and dead skin cells. The upshot of it being that you improve the texture of your scalp and make it a place where thicker and fuller looking hair may want to reside. Never tried it, but I'm a scrubber and I'm up for anything!
Definitely love a good scrub, haven't found a lip scrub I liked yet. I like rough scrubs that feel like they are doing something I prefer sugar/salt scrubs although I have tried a couple of coffee ones I'm not a fan of coffee but they worked well once I got past the smell. Not to sure how I feel bout a scalp scrub I can just picture little bits stuck in my hair.
