Turn exfoliation into a small shower ritual with natural and organic body scrubs for smoother, softer-feeling skin. Explore sugar, salt and coffee scrubs, creamy body polishes and oil-rich body exfoliators, with textures ranging from a gentle buff to a more invigorating polish.
Coffee scrubs have a distinctly grainy texture. Butt Naked Coffee & Epsom Body Scrub offers the classic coffee-scrub experience, while Noosa Basics Body Scrub With Coffee & Orange Peel Powder blends ground coffee and orange peel powder into a creamier base.
For a traditional sugar scrub, Butt Naked Sugar & Fruit Bellini Body Scrub and Hemp & Sugar Body Scrub combine sugar granules with plant oils. Sugar gradually softens as it is massaged over wet skin, although the amount of pressure you use still makes a considerable difference.
Salt usually provides a more robust polish. Eco by Sonya Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub is designed for all-over exfoliation, while Butt Naked Himalayan Lavender Salt Scrub & Bath Soak can also be added to the bath.
If you prefer a more cushioned texture, Noosa Basics Body Polish With Hibiscus & Rosehip Powder uses bamboo powder, pink clay, hibiscus and rosehip powders in a creamy base with plant oils and butters.
Most scrubs in this range are massaged gently over damp skin in the shower and rinsed away. Eco by Sonya Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub is different. Apply it to dry skin before showering, massage lightly using circular movements and then rinse it away.
Whichever texture you choose, use light pressure and spend a little more time on rougher areas such as elbows, knees and heels. Avoid broken, sunburnt, irritated or freshly shaved skin, and apply body moisturiser afterwards if your skin needs it.
A body scrub is one type of body exfoliator. It uses visible grains such as sugar, salt or coffee to polish the skin as you massage it. “Body exfoliator” is the broader term and also includes body polishes, exfoliating gloves, dry brushes and leave-on exfoliating treatments.
A body polish is still an exfoliator, but it usually has a creamier texture than a loose or oil-based scrub. You generally need only one exfoliating product or tool at a time. If you use a glove to apply a scrub, keep the pressure light because the glove adds more friction.
Often, but not always. Sugar crystals gradually soften and dissolve as you use them, which can give them a smoother feel. Salt usually provides a more robust polish and can sting on freshly shaved skin or small cuts. Coffee does not dissolve in the same way, so its grainy texture remains more noticeable.
Particle size and pressure also matter. Even a fine scrub can feel harsh when rubbed too vigorously.
For most wet-skin scrubs, cleanse first, massage the scrub over damp skin and then rinse it away. This leaves the scrub to provide the final polishing step.
Eco by Sonya Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub is the exception. Apply it to dry skin before getting into the shower, massage gently, then rinse it away before continuing with the rest of your shower.
Once a week is a sensible starting point. If your skin remains comfortable, a finer or creamier scrub may suit twice-weekly use, while a coarse salt or coffee scrub may be enough once weekly.
Leave longer between uses if your skin feels tight, red or tender. More frequent scrubbing will not improve the result if the skin becomes irritated.
Exfoliate 24 to 48 hours before applying self-tan rather than immediately beforehand. Eco by Sonya Pink Himalayan Salt Scrub is specifically recommended within this preparation window and should be used on dry skin before rinsing.
Pay particular attention to elbows, knees, ankles and other dry areas, then allow the skin to settle. On tanning day, apply self-tan to clean, dry skin.
