        TL;DR<\/p>\n

        \n

        The Josie Maran Vanilla Vibezzz Argan Oil + Sugar Balm Refillable Exfoliating Body Scrub was our favorite, earning rave reviews for effectively exfoliating without ever feeling gritty or scratchy.\u00a0Looking for a good lather? The Osea Salts of the Earth Body Scrub uses salts, oils, and butters to lather while gently buffing away rough skin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        We get it: Exfoliation is one of those skincare steps that can easily fall by the wayside. When it\u2019s hard enough to remember to exfoliate your face regularly, paying attention to the skin below your chin can be really<\/em> difficult. But here\u2019s the thing: that extra step can be a major game-changer. Enter the beauty of a good body scrub. Like their facial counterparts, they rely on physical exfoliating particles (think sugar or jojoba beads) to scrub those dead skin cells. Body scrubs also help your moisturizer penetrate more deeply, notes Dr. Debra Jaliman, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, making your skin feel oh-so smooth.\n<\/p>\n

        There are, quite literally, hundreds of body scrubs to choose from, so we decided to test 36 of the most popular options. We evaluated each on consistency, application, how effectively it exfoliated, and how our skin looked and felt after use. These eight body scrubs outperformed the rest when all was said and done.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

            Key Ingredients: <\/strong>Sugar, argan oil, shea butter | Size:<\/strong> 2, 6, 13.5 oz| Cruelty-Free: <\/strong>Yes\n<\/p>\n

            Both namesake ingredients, argan oil and shea butter, really lived up to the hype here. The oil base was incredibly moisturizing and made the skin feel as smooth as butter (so much so that our tester skipped applying any body lotion after using). The sugar particles are super small and gentle, not in the least bit scratchy, though still totally effective at smoothing unwanted texture and leaving skin with a bit more glow, too. The icing on the cake? The scent, a gourmand combo of vanilla bean and juniper, was incredible.\n<\/p>\n

                Key Ingredients: <\/strong>Cupuacu butter, sugar, shea butter, six-oil blend | Size:<\/strong> 18 oz | Cruelty-Free: <\/strong>No\n<\/p>\n

                We were big fans not only of the affordable price point of this one but also of how well it exfoliated. (It quickly became our tester\u2019s go-to for self-tanning prep.) The scrub is sugar-based and slightly gritty but still fine enough that it\u2019s not irritating. Plus, you can easily adjust the level of exfoliation based on how hard you scrub. Any rough spots felt noticeably smoother after, and our tester appreciated the beachy scent. There were just a few minor drawbacks, namely, the texture can get a bit runny, and it\u2019s in a jar, which makes it challenging to scoop out while you\u2019re in the shower.\n<\/p>\n

                    Key Ingredients: <\/strong>Glycolic and lactic acids, bisabolol | Size:<\/strong> 2, 8 oz| Cruelty-Free: <\/strong>Yes\n<\/p>\n

                    Despite this product\u2019s name, this was our fave pick for helping to ward off and treat ingrown hairs. It\u2019s also super gentle and great for areas like the bikini line, where said ingrowns tend to crop up. To that point, our sensitive-skinned tester experienced absolutely no irritation while using it. And, as the name suggests, it was also great at reducing those irksome keratosis pilaris bumps as well. Credit the fact that it relies on both pumice buffing beads for physical exfoliation and glycolic and lactic acids for chemical exfoliation. Just keep in mind that it can make your shower a little messy.\n<\/p>\n
