Soap & Glory, Burt's Bees And Garnier

-Sugar Scrubs-

Body scrubs have become my new obsession for body care and have been added to my collection of must have body products. I was never really a body scrub type person and never really understood why you needed to use them. I would also reach for a body wash and lotion and sort myself as done in terms of cleanliness.

But what makes a body scrub so good? And why should you start to use one?

Well…most importantly and obviously, they remove dry skin cells making your skin feel luxuriously soft and smooth. They make your skin smell delightful and are equally as moisturising to the skin as a mosturising body wash is. 


The best body scrubs i've been using and loving, are the Garnier Body Tonic, Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub and the Burt's Bees Sugar Scrub. Now, you may be thinking why have I got three body scrubs when their is only one of me. I like to change it up every now and then, and each of these products are different in a positive way.


The Soap & Glory body scrub is very moisturising on the skin and isn't too harsh in terms of exfoliating. None of those scratchy, hard beads. Just a very luxuriously smooth product. This product also wins it in terms of smell, I mean who would't want to smell candy?! This is a really good product for removing dry skin and making your skin feel silky smooth. An added bonus is the size, you get a lot of product for your money and you only need a small amount to get the result you want. Therefore, this product is an all rounder and one I highly recommend. 



The Burt's Bees sugar scrubs is a little bit more pricey, but you are paying for a 100% natural product that smells of honey and delightfulness. This products is what it says on the label, full of sugar and this use of sugar really helps to smoothen the skin as it is finer, allowing more skin to be exfoliated. So your skin feels really soft, removing all the dry dead skin cells. You don't get a big quantity compared to the Soap & Glory, yet with the finer exfoliators, it means that less is definitely more. 

The last body scrub I would like to mention is the Garnier Body Tonic. This product is different to the other two as the sugar particles are bigger and its more of a fruity fresh and vitalising scent that really awakens the skin, great as part of a morning routine. This product would be great to use for early mornings and everyday routines as it isn't thick or heavy and is quite quick to use on the body without any mess or needing to really scrub. Its also good in the fact that it acts as a body wash and sugar scrub in one, so this product really cuts down time if you are like me and are always running late in the mornings. 

I hope you enjoyed a small insight into body scrubs and what key features to look for in a good sugar scrub.
I hope you have a lovely evening.
