We all want glowing, radiant skin, right? But we tend to be a bit lazy from time to time and forget about that all-important step of exfoliating. By using an exfoliating scrub, whether it consists of micro-beads or a fine powder, you are helping to remove that dull top layer that your cleanser and body wash may not get to. You are also opening up your pores to allow for better penetration for your serums and moisturisers. There are scrubs for oily skin and scrubs for normal skin, showing that absolutely everyone needs an exfoliation from time to time.
Here are 9 body and face scrubs that smell divine and work away grime:

The Body Shop scrub looks divine.
These are all great products, I would love to try a few of them.
Of the products mentioned, I’ve only tried the Nivea scrub. I did not enjoy it so much. It’s very mild and felt more like a cleanser. It didn’t feel like it was removing anything. I adore The Body Shops Vitamin C Microdermabrasion scrub. Very gritty and so refreshing!
I would really love to try the Eucerin Dermo Purifyer Scrub.
Sensai is the product for your skin, expensive but the best.
Whooo I love Nivea!!
I love the Nivea Scrub.
These are really great products, I love the body shop creams they smell so good
The Sensai Silk Peeling Powder sounds so divine!
I really like the SKNLogic products. I’ve had a facial with those products and they are so effective but not harsh. I am interested to try the Eucerin Dermo Purifyer range. Thanks for the options.
