Ashy? No thanks!

With summer being unnecessarily hot this year, most folks want little or nothing on their bodies, teeny bum shorts, tiny tanks are the rule. With lots of skin being exposed, you don't want your skin looking rough and ashy/ dry. Rule is, scrub scrub exfoliate ur skin till it's sore(jk) Divas want to know what they can use to keep things glowing. I have a few recommendations, and even a homemade solution.
Arbonne Awaken Sea Salt scrub- awesome product, medium sized tub. What I love about this scrub is not only does it have sea salt know for it's exfoliating, Rejuvenating and healing benefits.  It is also anti-ageing for those who wanna prevent the signs of aging on the body.
But it contains essential oils, which smooth and soothe the skin during the process. For my Divaz that have no access to arbonne, you can actually make your own with seat salt and olive oil, or almond oil. These will not clog your pores but never use them on the face. Salt scrubs sting when you have minor cuts from shaving so you can make a scrub with sugar too.  Price $28

Scrub gloves are a dime a dozen, but I find the best ive tried are the ones from the body shop.  First they are oh soo cute and quite cheap.$5 a pair in different colors. They are sturdy and you can use them with your favorite bath gel in-shower.  Exfoliating like this also helps with ugly razor bumps from shaving, just dont exfoliate the same day you shaved so you dont get irritated.
Always concentrate on knees and elbows, and you can exfoliate your feet too. Just be careful in the bathtub or shower, so you don't slip...


Carols Daughter Sweethoneydip Chocolate brown sugar scrub (sounds yummy) and feels even yummier. Its a must have at all costs. it simply does what it says and more.  Where to buy? Sephora $34


Good old St Ives is more common, and I find it works well also,but be sure to moisturise thoroughly after use.
For a more polished effect, use the gloves with any of the scrubs, it's easier on the hands.  Key is, some kinda scrub HAS to be in your shower.
So Divaz, has anyone tried a body scrub and liked it? Please share. Ciao ciao!!!!

You can order online, or find a Sephora near you. Fruits and Passions has a very good one called avocado or blueberry scrub. It's very good too.

Basically when you know the key ingredients to look for in a scrub, you can try anything. An oily bas is always great, so you don't feel dry and icky after scrubbing
