Body Scrubs

Sugar scrubs are the best choice for sensitive skin — sugar granules are finer and dissolve more easily than salt, providing gentle exfoliation without micro-tears. Look for sugar scrubs with soothing ingredients like oat, aloe vera, or chamomile for additional skin calming. Avoid walnut shell or pumice-based scrubs on sensitive skin as these have irregular edges that can cause irritation.

Most skin types benefit from body scrubbing 2–3 times per week. Sensitive skin should limit exfoliation to once a week to prevent irritation. Dry or rough skin (elbows, knees, heels) may benefit from more frequent targeted treatment. Always follow body scrubbing with a rich moisturiser applied immediately to still-damp skin for the best hydration results.

Sugar scrubs use finer, gentler granules that dissolve in water — ideal for everyday use and sensitive skin. They are also more moisturising, as sugar is a natural humectant. Salt scrubs use larger, harder granules for more intensive exfoliation and contain minerals. Salt scrubs are better for thicker, rougher body skin (feet, knees, elbows) and should not be used on sensitive or broken skin.

Coffee scrubs temporarily improve the appearance of cellulite through a combination of physical exfoliation that smooths the skin surface, and caffeine which temporarily tightens skin and improves circulation. While not a permanent solution, regular use (2–3 times weekly) combined with dry brushing and body moisturising produces a noticeably smoother, firmer-looking skin surface over time.
