While you’re slathering your face with cleanser, toner, moisturiser, chances are your body’s watching from the sidelines feeling well and truly ghosted.

Enter: the humble body scrub.

Sure, they might seem like your average beauty aisle benchwarmer, but body scrubs are quite possibly the most underrated products for rescuing parched limbs from their wintry exile. And, let’s be honest, you’ll smell pretty yummy, too.

If your road to smoothness has been, well, rough and bumpy, scroll on for the two best body exfoliators to transform your dry skin back to dolphin-smooth glory.

1. Energise Glow Natural Exfoliating Body Scrub

Quick science tidbit: the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle (aka shedding of dead skin) happens daily. But as we age or even the changing season from winter into spring, means this process may be sluggish and in need of a little SOS. That’s where Energise Glow waltzes in.

Unlike other scrubs that are harsh and drying, this gem is packed with squalene and sweet almond oil, ensuring your skin stays hydrated and supple. Walnut shell powder gently polishes away rough patches, while a burst of essential oils leaves you feeling energised—perfect for tackling long days, deadlines, your kids, whatever. If you’re struggling with desert-like dryness and bumpy bits for days, don’t look past this smooth operator.

1. AHA Exfoliating Body Wash 2-in-1 Cleanse and Polish

If you’ve been battling with skin that’s more sandpaper than silk, then this delectable cleanse and polish all-rounder will be sure to delight and surprise.

It’s loaded with a potent AHA mix—silver maple, orange, lemon, blueberry, and sugarcane—that works to dissolve the top layer of lacklustre skin cells. The quartz (ooo!) soothes redness and gently exfoliates your skin to dewy-fresh perfection, while grapeseed oil rebalances your skin’s natural moisture balance, drenching it in long-lasting hydration and boosting its bounce-back-ability (*adds new word to dictionary*). Top it off with a scent that's suspiciously similar to maple syrup, and you’ve got a shower routine that’s less about getting clean and more about luxuriating in your own private spa.

Ready to get scrubby with it?

To get the most out of your scrub, lightly dampen your skin under the shower. Apply your scrub of choice in circular motions, starting from your feet and moving upwards towards your heart—this boosts circulation and gets you the best results. If you’re prepping before fake tan (shoutout to our Thursday night tanning girlies), focus on dry areas like the elbows, knees, around the ankles and feet. Once you’re fully scrubbed, rinse off under warm water.

Thirst-Quenching Tip: Want to lock in that freshly scrubbed glow? After rinsing, follow up with a generous application of Thirst Aid Hydrating Body Serum and then a dollop of Butter Up Hydrating Body Butter for seriously strokable skin.
