Lushies..Do you use body scrubs from other companies? If so, which ones..

I've used several scrubs from The Body Shop because I worked there for a time. My favorite scrubs have ground almond or rice in them because then the scrubs don't dissolve away. Otherwise, I would find that I would have to huddle at the end of the shower so it won't all wash away before I have a chance to get a good scrub. The Body Shop makes a pretty nice Cocoa Butter scrub that helps your lotion absorb a lot better. That's the only one that I've bought more than once. When it comes to salt and sugar scrubs, I prefer sugar scrubs. Salt scrubs are supposed to detox your skin. They are particularly good for people who work out a lot and sweat. I don't care for them that much because when my skin is really dry, I can scratch a bit too much. This leaves me with little hairline scratches. Add salt scrub to this and...whoa momma! When I worked at the body shop, I would always warn people not to scrub after they shave if they are using a salt scrub. I know it seems self explanatory, but you'd be surprised. Sugar scrubs are meant to draw moisture to the skin. So while they exfolliate, they are supposed to be more moisturizing. The Body Shop used to make a sugar scrub that was Satsuma scent. We would barely keep the thing on the shelves. I liked it a lot myself because in the summer I could use it with their matching lotion. The sad thing is that I'm not sure if the store carries taht line anymore. Last time I went there, they didn't, but perhaps I should check again. I'll have to check out Isle of Eden. It might be nice to try some new products.

I think sugar scrubs are better for me, my skin tends to get too dry to use salt scrubs. I need to go check if Skindazzles or Skindecent have good sugar scrubs, because those are the two etailers I'm deciding between for my next order once I can afford it. Philosophy does have some really yummy scented scrubs too though, Gingergread sounds delish!

I actually do use body scrubs from other companies quite a bit. From Lush, I use Buffy and have YSTW, but haven't tried it yet. I haven't tried any etailers yet. I do like Ocean salt, but it is expensive and cannot justfy using if for my body. I have used body scrubs from The Body Shop, Origins, Aveda, Sunshine Spa, Whole Foods and a few more. I like both salt/sugar scrubs and grainy scrubs. My favorte one was one from Sunshine spa that they used to sell at Trader Joes for a reasonable price. It was a brown sugar scrub and either was tangerine or mango scented. TJs no longer carries it but Whole Foods does, but for 2x the price, which I'm not happy about.

I haven't bought it in a while, and I only bought it once, but I have used Origins Ginger Body Scrub. It's a sea salt and ginger scrub. It also had some different types of nut oils in it. I liked it, and it smelled pretty nice...although it did make the floor of the tub kinda slippery so I had to be careful with that. I like scrubs, but I find I often "forget" about using them. The jar from Origins that I had lasted a pretty long time. But it is REALLY pricey, so I never bought it again. Has anyone tried the "Smooch" product from Villainess? I really want to try some of their soaps and such, so I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has tried their stuff.

I use Benefit Bionic Blast to try and make my skin behave. I'm not sure if they make it anymore actually! I'd love to try the Philosophy one as I love the brand and love gingerbread. It's so expensive though :(

I absolutely LOVE Mary Kay Sugar Scrubs. Even my boyfriend likes them! They just make my skin feel really good. The only downside is I don't think there are any that are for guys-but the smell doesn't really linger too strongly on your skin afterwards.

I use Tutti Dolci body scrubs from bath and body works. My boyfriend uses Lush's Ocean Salt. I haven't really tried any others yet.

NO SCRUB.NO LUSH i USE ONLY GEL SWOWER,,,,,,,,ERBOLARIO, OR aVON

I haven't really ventured into the realm of scrubs yet. I'm obsessing about solid scrubby things (buffy-esque) at the moment. But I like the idea of a salt scrub better than a sugar scrub, just because I think I would enjoy the scent more.

I adore espa salt scrubs they really moisturise me and get my skin glowing and soft

Girl, if you like salt scrubs I think you are going to love Fantasy Baths! It is like a spa scrub, really chunky pieces of salt. What scent did you get? I have one in Snow Wonder...yummy! I also love both Philosophy scrubs(in Gingerbread Man, Senorita Margarita, and Pure Grace) and Skindecent's scrub-but SDE's are sugar scrubs.
