SUMMER 01: BODY SCRUBS
Comparisons from our Panelist, Adrienne

I am a long time exfoliator and have tried many products over the years and have found that they vary in performance. Here are three very different body exfoliators that, depending on your preference, will do the job.

Nikali Liquid Sugar Exfoliator "...replaces harsh abrasive body scrubs and contains natural oils, jojoba esters, and aloe vera and Vitamin E." This scrub has a light vanilla fragrance and when I put a fair amount of this lotion onto my loofah I noticed that it did not feel very abrasive. I used it on my legs, arms and abdomen and had to use quite a bit to feel as though I had enough product. This is a great scrub for someone with sensitive/delicate skin. My skin is a bit tougher and dryer and I need a sturdier scrub, but this one may work for you.

Clinique Body Sloughing Cream comes in a large plastic jar and has a cream/paste consistency. There is plenty of good gritty material in this one! I have used this for years and keep going back to it, especially before applying self-tanner. A little goes a long way and one jar lasts forever. This one is my favorite.

Bath & Body Works Salt Scrub
This scrub is not for the "thin skinned," but I love that these scrubs come in different fragrances. I love Garden Mint so I bought a large glass jar and quickly found out that if you have any little open wound anywhere (torn cuticles included) this "salt scrub" will burn like crazy. The texture is very coarse and truly feels like sea salt. It does a good job of exfoliating, but my skin was a bit red and irritated after. This is worth a try if you use it carefully.
