Body Scrub

[dreamer246]

Hello! Would like recs for a good body scrub as I'm currently having dry flaking skin. Also, how do I use it, and how frequently should I exfoliate? I'm a total noob, so please elaborate.

THIS is hands down the best body scrub in the world. I love this. I makes my skin feel like silk.

I buy a small tub of honey from bulkbarn and add in some coarse sugar/salt (the bigger grains) and add more sugar than salt.

et voila! the honey is hydrating and salt/sugar is a great physical exfoliator (don't worry it rinses clean).

I also set aside some of the honey in a smaller tubberware jar (no sugar/salt) and use that on my face in the shower.

if the honey begins to harden/crystalize simply submerge the container hot water and you're good to go (I've also found the crystals (?sp) to be good exfoliators).

Just wanted to add that the tub will last a good while. It's huge and you don't really need a lot of the scrub to begin with. The glycolic acid in the scrub is great at getting out ingrown hairs and dead skin that physical exfoliation can't.

I use a body brush and dry brush before baths and showers, The Body Shop sell one, I think it is a cactus brush. It's supposed to be good for cellulite/lymph drainage and so on but I've just started doing it.

I love the body scrubs from The Body Shop. Use them while taking a bath or shower.
