The Best Body Scrubs to Help You Achieve Your Healthiest Skin Yet

I’ve been a fan of Naturopathica products for a while, which probably stems from the amazing experiences I’ve had at the Naturopathica spas in NYC and the Hamptons. If you’re someone who truly values pure, wholesome ingredients, then you will love the Manuka Honey exfoliator. It is made with real manuka honey, vitamin-rich fruit enzyme blends, and botanical extracts that aid in soothing the skin while you exfoliate, so it calms even while you scrub. I love that I can fully trust these ingredients, and actually feel the smooth and nourishing effect it leaves on my skin. It’s great for those with sensitive or dry skin, as it’s very gentle and won’t dry your skin out. As with all Naturopathica products, you can’t go wrong with this exfoliator.

OSEA is a frontrunner when it comes to all-natural products that use mother nature’s bounty as their leading ingredients (think an entire skincare line of seaweed-infused products)! This female-founded company has found the perfect combination of good-for-you ingredients that get the job done, so it’s no surprise that the OSEA Salts of the Earth Body Exfoliator is a favorite of mine. Rich in minerals, seaweed and natural oils, this scrub will make you feel like you’re at the spa from the comfort of your own home. I love the light floral scent – but I love how smooth it leaves my skin after using it even more. I highly recommend it for anyone who truly values using clean products, and/or loves a spa-like experience.

Fig. 1 is a leader when it comes to science-backed beauty products at an affordable price. With an expert team including a board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic chemist, Fig.1 products have quite the resume. The Beauty Exfoliating Body Polish is an absolute favorite of mine. Containing all-natural fine grain volcanic pumice to exfoliate and scrub away dead skin, this product is great for anyone with dry skin, Keratosis Pilaris and pesky ingrown hairs. Plus it includes glycerin, which provides and retains moisture so your skin won’t overdry. The eucalyptus, mandarin and sandalwood scent profile is an invigorating way to start the day, and for those of us that are particularly environmentally-conscious, Fig. 1 is for you. All of their products come in airless packaging that is 100% reusable, making it an awesome environmentally-friendly and sustainable option.

If you’re looking for a body scrub that deeply exfoliates, the Beauty Pie Soul Providers Re-energizing Dry Oil Sugar Scrub is the one. Enriched with demerara sugar and lemon peel extract, this scrub means business. Don’t let the name fool you, though – it may be a dry oil scrub, but it’s infused with Evening Primrose oil and all-natural lemongrass, grapefruit and black pepper essential oils to make sure that your skin stays completely hydrated after using. What really sets this scrub apart is its detoxing component, though. Holy Basil Extract cleanses your skin of any impurities or toxins, all while giving your skin a polished glow. I love this product as the ultimate three-in-one body scrub that exfoliates, cleanses and hydrates.

Keeping with the theme of all-natural scrubs, the NOTO Resurface Scrub is another winner. While it does contain amazingly clean ingredients such as organic Aloe leaf, walnut shell dust and peppermint oil, the Resurface Scrub takes it up a notch and infuses glycolic and lactic acid into its recipe. These all-star ingredients hydrate the skin and act as physical and acid exfoliants, which really give your skin that polished, fresh look (just make sure that you apply sunscreen after you use it)! I love that this scrub is gentle enough to be used on both the face and body – and for those that prefer a foaming scrub, this one is definitely for you. NOTO offers another great product with noticeable results, and trust me when I say that the smell will transport you to the nearest spa.

The Saltair KP Body Smoother is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a more affordable body scrub. Containing volcanic sand, microcrystalline cellulose and 5% glycolic acid, the KP Body Smoother is a physical and chemical exfoliator that effectively scrubs away dead skin and smoothes dry patches. But don’t worry – alongside these exfoliants, the scrub also contains natural Kukui Nut, Coconut and Macadamia Seed oils, which provide deep hydration. If you are someone who experiences Keratosis Pilaris, or any other bumpy skin patches, this is the perfect option for you. It’s gentle yet effective – I promise your skin will feel softer and smoother with visible results.

Selfmade, deemed the first emotionally intelligent personal care brand, has created an entire line of products that nurture both our physical and mental health (i.e, psychodermatology). With the idea that improving our skin’s resilience can contribute to our overall health, the True Grit Resilience Scrub is a physical and chemical exfoliator that can wash away stress, banish build up, and even encourage hair growth. That’s right – this scrub can be used literally anywhere. It’s an ideal exfoliator for someone who likes to get good use out of their products (think scalp, underarms, bikini area, you name it)! Infused with bamboo powder, tea tree oil and holy basil, this is the ultimate whole-body exfoliator that will make you feel (and smell) like you just got back from vacation.
