Whats a good body scrub? Mainly to be used pre-shaving of the legs. And I'd prefer it to NOT be a salt scrub, my hands are terribly dry and have all these little cuts on them - so salt scrubs don't feel so hot (basically they sting like.. heck) when I use them!

I wouldn't recommend using any scrub prior to shaving, salt scrub or otherwise! I like Sparkle Skin by Clinique; it comes in a tube which is good for the shower.

The Body Shop makes a wonderful Coconut Body Scrub ($16.50 for 6.5 oz). The exfoliants in this scrub are coconut husks and shells ground up, and coconut oil to moisturize. I have actually used this before shaving since it is so mild, without stinging or irritation. What's even better is that nothing they make is tested on animals!!

I make a scrub out of ground oatmeal, brown sugar, and oil of my choice (fav's being jojoba oil, apricot kernal oil and olive oil). Just mix into a paste and scrub down after shaving or showering. The best thing, IMHO, to do before shaving is scrub down with a loofah, makes the hair stick up a bit more so you get a closer shave. This is my tried and true shaving/scrubbin' down system and it costs me next to nothin'!

Well I was once an avid body scrub user but now I have a new tool I use to exfoliate my body. I use a pumice stone. My skin has never been softer. When I'm in the shower, I lather up, then in short,circles I am removing the dead skin. My skin has never looked better!

I´m using the "Kissmee". Its a peelingglove, which you can ordner on this site www.kissmee.de

He ist really good, but if you are searching for a normally peeling, you can use L´oreal. The prices are O.K. and the products works.

I have sensitive skin so I tend to use scrubs made for the face as body scrubs because they are milder and less abrasive. I get a huge tub of apricot facial scrub from my local discount shop, it lasts for ages. Have a shop about and see what's available where you live.

I used to use the most delicious brown sugar body scrub from Avon for a bit. Then my stupid roommate threw it in the garbage. Oh I was pissed - they don't sell it anymore! But since then I've been using a cheap pineapple scented one from Walmart... blegh... I need something a little more luxurious!

They last a long time before they dissolve on the skin too.
They take forever to ship though but its worth the wait.

I prefer to use the exfoliating gloves from the Body Shop or to dry body brush than use body exfoliators.

I use plain brown sugar mixed with my regular soap. Works wonders. Also, Mary Kay has four scented sugar scrubs that are amazing.

Believe it or not ? Chinese secret therapy : Mix olive oil/camilla seed oil/glycerin with granulated sugar (yes those we drink with tea ! ! !) to form a paste. Its perfect and cheap Body Scrub !

My favorite body scrub is olive oil mixed with sugar. Its the cheapest remedy I have ever tried. My hands and feet are so smooth thanks to it.

I like vs scub that comes in the garden scents. they are heavy duty and since I have dry skin I scrub before I shower to get as much dry skin gone as possible.
