Super Scrubs!

I love scrubs – scrubs for my face, scrubs for my body…there’ s just something so satisfying about a good scrubbin’!

Scrubs can either be gentle or rough, leave an oily residue or rinse clean, and can have rounded particles (like jojoba) or rough-edged particles (like walnut shells).  Different types are good for different jobs. Here are some I think you’ll like.

The Grapeseed Company makes a wonderful body scrub.  I tried the new pink grapefruit and ginger sugar/grape seed scrub. This is rough scrub – perfect for your body – especially those rough patches on knees and elbows. It has a mix of 80% organic ingredients including skin-loving oils such as coconut, olive, jojoba and almond.

The Grapeseed Company’s grapefruit and ginger scrub also includes white tea, and grape seeds of course, which give you a dose of anti-aging antioxidant power!

This is a scrub that leaves a lot of oil, so only use it on dry areas such as legs, elbows, feet and arms – and be careful not to slip in the tub!

Another scrub I love is Alba’s Pineapple Enzyme Facial Scrub. My boyfriend bought me a tube of it as a treat for getting my flu shot last year. Don’t tell him I told you, but he was too chicken to get his own flu shot!

This is a scrub that leaves a bit of oily residue, so I like to use it after I wash my face with a regular cleanser. The facial cleanser from the same line does not leave a residue, so they’re a good pair.

I tried a sample of Nurture My Body’s Organic Exfoliating Cleanser recently. It’s a good every-day scrub because the organic jojoba beads are super gentle. What I love most about it is the Environment Working Group’s rating for it – ZERO! That means it’s safe enough to eat – okay, not really – don’t eat it.  But, it’s as safe a product as you can get – you can feel safe using it on yourself and your family. Also – it leaves no oily residue, so you can use it as an every-day gentle cleanser.
