What's Your Favorite Body Scrub?

I like the Philosophy Hot Salt Scrubs, especially Empowermint, which sadly they discontinued, although I like it in various scents. I also like Beaded Hemp (www.beadedhemp.com) - she is an etailer who makes some very awesome sugar scrubs. She will make them extra scrubby, and extra scented. I especially like her foaming bath butter and scrub, she has a dupe of Clinique's Aromatic Elixir, which is one of my favorite scents of all times, but, her foaming bath butter and scrub are grand. What is your favorite scrub?
Oooh - one of my favorite topics! I love Fresh's Brown Sugar body scrub. It smells divine and makes my skin so smooth. I also am a huge fan of Soap and Glory's Sugar Crush Body Scrub. They sell it at Target for $16.99- what a deal!
Ohh, thanks. I have been eyeing Soap and Glory. And I love what I have used from Fresh. So much to try.
i love scrubs too much :) My biggest favorites- from BBW - Aquatanica Sea Scrub (discontinued, and is a great exfoliator, not based on sugar or salt, just grains and sea products!), and from Victoria Secret- Secret Crush Sugar Scrub (I wanted to eat it, and even though it was sugar it didnt make my tub slick)
agrimony- I just got Soap and Glory Sugar Crush and it is delectable. Sweet Lime scent with brown sugar sweetness and macadamia nut shells as scrub. Perfect, and yes, I tried to lick it... I dont know why I am always tempted to taste good smelling bath stuff ! Highly recommended
There are tons of good ones out there. I like the Aromotheraphy Sugar Scrubs from Bath and Body Works. I use this more when I am taking a big hot bath.When I notice I am getting bumps on the back or my arms or just need a good body exfoliation I use MD Formulations face and body scrub. I use this in the shower.
There are so many great products out there it is literally like going to the candy store!
Oh my gosh, Faith, the Sweet Lime sounds heavenly. I will be hitting Target sometime soon, (although with the heat here, I want to stay inside, LOL) and will be trying this.And I am going to have to visit BBW in the near future. I haven't been there in a while, but, have been reading about so many things there, I think I need to check it out. Will have to check out the Aromatheraphy scrubs, thanks for mentioning it Hao!
My favorite is the Bath and Body Works shea butter sugar scrub in Warm Vanilla Sugar. I think it was from the "Signature" line but it was the higer end. Like if the normal line had bath gel and body spray and lotion, the upper line had creamy body wash and perfume and body cream. I love the Coconut Lime Verbena too. It just smells like summer. Heaven! I've tried their other scents but all of them turn malodorous on me. I just looked at the site and I saw they have a ton of new scents since I last went in there. I am especially intrigued by one called Black Amethyst. That's my birthstone so I'm very interested in seeing what it smells like. I looked for my beloved scrub but I don't see it. I think it's gone. I think it was my h/g. Very sad about that! I think they underwent a massive reformulation and repackaging. I see a trip to BBW happening tomorrow...
Oh I forgot to say that I've used the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush scrub. It was a good scrub. I liked it much better than the Flake Away (It stunk!) but it definitely wasn't as good as the BBW scrub.
BBW recently launched a sudsing scrub in their aromatherapy line, it's kind of a combination of body wash and scrub, and it exfoliates nicely. But my all time favorite is BBW "Need A Margarita". Even though I'm not much of a drinker, that scent gets me every time. It's just amazing!
I want these both!
The only scrub I've purchased was the Bath & Body Works jasmine one from their Aromatherapy line. I like it pretty well but the scent is STRONG.

I love Elemis Spa's Lime and Ginger body scrub. Do a search on Megs here and you can read all about it or use this link: http://megsmakeup.com/2008/12/21/sharon-d-welcome-her-she-xplores-xotic Trust me, it is divine. If nothing else, I wrote about how the spa taught me to do a great body scrub yourself.

I really like Victoria's Secret Pink Sugar Scrub. It's fine, but not too fine. It lathers nicely and actually makes my skin feel a lot softer after I use it. It smells really sweet, but it's subtle.
So many great tips. Thanks for all the suggestions!
I really love the sugar scrubs made by 100% Pure, it's an excellent line.
I love Ocean Salt from Lush as a body scrub. Applied on dry skin it transforms legs, arms etc. into silk. And it smells lovely and fresh, not at all over powering.Of course, ordinary sea salt mixed with some oil does pretty much the same thing for just a fraction of the cost and it is unscented which I find is a good thing. I prefer to just smell of my perfume and hate when smells clash with each other.
I just finished using a lavender-vanilla body smoother from Origins. It's made with coarse sugar crystals and olive + jojoba oil, so it's super moisturizing. I like the sugar crystals because they start out rough and kind of dissolve as you exfoliate. Plus, the scent is really relaxing, especially for showering before going to bed.
My favorite scrub is Korres Lemon-basil. Ohhh it leaves my skin so soft, gets rid of the dead skina and the smell is so divine. Your skin does not feel greasy after, just squeaky clean and soft.
i have yet to find a body scrub i like. i heard about one (i forgot the name of) that actually lathers up. id be interested in trying that but cant find it in my area.

I ran out of body scrub last week so I mixed loads of brown sugar with my coconut shower gel and put the whole lot in a lidded lunch box so the water wouldnt make it too runny,it worked great and the smell was amazing.

I always see scrubs that I want to try, but for some reason never do. I do occasionally use a homemade one of EVOO and brown sugar or sea salt. I really want to try some of the scrubs I've found on Etsy, like this one: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27848987
I use the Caress Evenly Gorgeous scrub every day :) Like I said on another post, it's a heavenly smelling scrub that has burnt brown sugar (smells SO much better than it sounds) and karite butter to keep your skin both exfoliated and blissfully moisturized. LOVE.

I love Soap and Glory from target, it makes my skin so soft!
Tracey!! I have that from Anderson Soap Company and love it!!!!!!
Does it dry out your skin at all? I was a little wary at the 'fragrance', my skin is generally too sensitive for chemical fragrance in soaps and body washes.
For my back and shoulders I use Neutrogena Body Clear scrub because I have a bacne problem that requires constant attention. It works really great for black heads that require a little scrubbing to get rid of them. For my legs I love Trader Joe's scrubs because they are nicely moisturizing for shaving and have enough texture to actually make a difference.
I love BBW scrubs, they all smell so nice and can be found at a steal during the Semi-Annual sales. I've tried all sorts, from the signature line to the True Blue Spa and Aromatherapy, and have never been let down, there's definitely something for everyone. I'm hooked on the ones from the Far East True Blue Spa line at the moment, Clean Karma and Rice to the Rescue (smells like rice pudding!).
