If there’s one thing that would remind me of a DIY spa, it’s a body scrub. Just apply a generous amount and it’ll unveil a new layer of skin each time.
But with so many varieties in the market right now, you definitely need to know which product will work for specific needs. Do you need to hydrate your dry skin and get rid of unwanted dirt? Are you into coffee grounds or shea butter? See which suits you from our picks below.
Give your skin a hydrating boost with Human Nature’s Coffee Body Scrub (P402). The coffee helps in exfoliating and firming the skin to prevent cellulite. Meanwhile, the vanilla and aloe vera help in keeping you relaxed―perfect for when you’ve just gotten home from work.
