We’ve delved into the wonders of facial exfoliation — from AHAs and BHAs in chemical cleansers to the scrubbing power of tools like the Clarisonic and Foreo brush. And while keeping our mugs healthy and glowy is a skin care goal that never goes away, we’d be remiss to skip treating our bodies the same way.
After months of tanning, excess perspiration (hello, summer!) and other hot-weather adventures, now is the best time to give your body what it truly deserves: a good, old-fashioned scrub-down. And luckily for us, there are plenty of luxurious options just waiting to claim space in our bathroom. Ahead, body exfoliants that’ll turn your home into a makeshift spa.
