Exfoliate with Our Best Body Scrubs and Exfoliants

Name a body ritual more satisfying than exfoliating. Go on, we’ll wait. Serving us soft skin, lifting ingrown hairs and providing the perfect base for Thursday night tanning sessions, body scrubs are one of the oldest and most golden beauty hacks in the book. And while we’ve come a long way from creating our own sugar scrubs over the kitchen sink as teenagers, there’s now so much choice we never know where to start. Traditional scrubs, chemical exfoliants and those which leave us smelling nothing short of delicious, here’s our ultimate low down on the best body scrubs on the market. Silky skin, reveal yourself.

How to use a body scrub

We might all think a body scrub does all the work for us and - thanks to a host of superpower ingredients - it does help us a long way. Acids are here to slough away dead skin cells, while physical exfoliants keep our skin smooth and silky. But, that’s nothing without a little body movement. For a little extra ingredient action, we suggest using all these scrubs in gentle, circular motions for better results. And for a more powerful scrub? Invest in an accessory like an exfoliating mitt or massaging brush. They’re not just for removing your faux glow during a tanning refresh; they’re our secret to a satisfying scrub and your smoothest skin yet.

Fenty Skin

Cherry Dub - Triple action AHA body scrub

Fenty Skin

Cherry Dub - Triple action AHA body scrub

£29.00

Best for triple-action smoothing

Cherry powered and certified juicy, Fenty pulled another bestseller out of the bag when they launched this super-sweet sugar scrub. Featuring Fruit Enzymes and AHAs alongside your classic sugar base, every ingredient works in tandem to give you soft, silky skin that smells as good as you feel.

Perfect match product: With enough soothe to balance the smooth, we apply generous amounts of this bestselling Skin Butta to lock in hydration for a glossy, sheen effect. A must before we head out-out for the night.
Skinfix

Resurface+Glycolic Renewing Scrub

Skinfix

Skinfix Resurface+Glycolic Renewing Scrub 236ml

£32.00

Best for refining and defining

Exfoliants come in many forms, just like this resurfacing scrub from Skinfix. Creamy but powerful, you’ll find Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid alongside gentle exfoliators to smooth skin, refining texture and revealing your natural radiance. Just apply to dry skin before you step into the shower, and rinse away under warm water. We promise you’ll see results within two weeks.

Perfect match product: For barrier building alongside *even more* exfoliating, we turn to Skinfix’s Renewing Cream for a double dose of AHA action - now with added BHAs.
Necessaire

The Body Exfoliator Eucalyptus

NECESSAIRE

The Body Exfoliator Eucalyptus

£30.00

Best for a weekly treat

The clue is in the name: this scrub is absolutely necessary, but don’t be fooled into thinking that doesn’t make it luxurious. Our weekly treat, it’s fuelled by a mix of chemical and physical exfoliants for a sensory scrubbing experience. Expect Volcanic Pumice, Charcoal Bamboo, AHA, BHA, PHA, and Niacinamide coming together with a delicate, Eucalyptus scent and gentle cleanse. What’s not to love?

Perfect match product: Once you’ve scrubbed and rinsed, make sure to wash away the daily grime with Necessaire’s matching Eucalyptus Body Wash. Or, you can keep waste to a minimum and try their exfoliating Body Bar.
ELEMIS

Body Scrub Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow

ELEMIS

Body Scrub Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow

£50.00

Best for bringing the spa to your skin

There is nothing - and we mean nothing - we love more than a trip to the spa. But for when our pockets don’t stretch that far (or we’re resetting in home sweet home), we always choose ELEMIS’ Salt Glow. Infused with the luxurious, tropical scent of Frangipani and Hibiscus, this indulgent formula melts onto skin and sloughs away dead skin cells with Mineral-rich salts. And with no fear of dry skin post-scrub, Tahitian Monoi Oil seals in moisture for a super soft finish.

Perfect match product: Keep the spa experience going by smoothing ELEMIS’ fan-favourite Monoi Body Oil onto damp skin. Our top tip? You can also use this on the ends of your hair to enjoy its tropical scent with every swish.
