Body Scrubs

Sugar and salt scrubs that buff away dry skin for a smoother body. Use once or twice a week before moisturising.

Body scrubs for smoother, softer skin

Our skin naturally sheds dead cells, but sometimes they build up and leave the body looking dull and feeling rough. A body scrub helps clear them away, revealing smoother skin and helping your lotion or oil absorb better. This collection includes sugar scrubs, salt scrubs, coffee scrubs and gentle exfoliating creams for every skin type.

Sugar, salt or coffee?

• Sugar scrubs: fine and gentle, they dissolve as you massage and suit most skin types.
• Salt scrubs: more vigorous, ideal for rough areas such as feet, knees and elbows. Avoid on freshly shaved or broken skin.
• Coffee scrubs: energising and invigorating, popular as a morning wake-up.
• Cream exfoliants: very fine particles or enzymes, good for sensitive skin.

How to use a body scrub

1. Wet your skin in the shower or bath.
2. Take a handful of scrub and massage in circular movements, starting at the feet and working upwards.
3. Focus on rough areas and use lighter pressure on delicate skin.
4. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a body lotion or oil.

How often should you scrub?

Once or twice a week is enough for most people. Over-exfoliating can leave skin red and sensitive. A scrub the day before applying self-tan helps the colour develop evenly, and exfoliating a day or two before shaving can help reduce ingrown hairs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a body scrub on my face?

No, body scrubs are too coarse for facial skin. Use a dedicated face exfoliator instead.

Should I scrub before or after shaving?

Before, ideally a day ahead. Scrubbing freshly shaved skin can sting and irritate.
