Exfoliation is essential to getting soft, beautiful skin. Though there are many exfoliating products on the market, sugar and salt scrubs are some of the best. Lately, I have been trying out a variety of sugar scrubs and discovered Dylan’s Candy Bar Coconut Bon Bon Ice Cream Sugar Scrub.
Unlike other scrubs that are really grainy, this one is actually more like a creamy polish. But don’t let the creamy texture fool you. Created with pumice and jojoba beads, this scrub removes dead skin cells and rejuvenates dull, dry skin, revealing soft, silky smooth skin beneath.

I love it when I find a new (well, new to me) bath and body line. Lately, I started using Dani bath and body products and I fell in love with their sugar scrub. Dani creates a collection of products that are healthy and truly natural. They are also dedicated to the environment as well.
On their website at danibath.com, you’ll see products that are marked with icons indicating recycled and recyclable packing, local/regional sources, biodegradable packing and more.

I’ll admit, it’s been a while since I’ve done any Avon shopping. But a friend of mine introduced me to Planet Spa African Shea Butter Brown Sugar Body Scrub (available from Avon) and now I’m hooked.

At Avon.com, it says the body scrub will be available soon (unfortunately, I guess it’s temporarily out of stock). But you should be able to get it …read more

Though they have been around for quite a while, I only recently discovered Sunfeather Soap Company. They offer a wide array of products from bar soap and shampoo to foot care and facial products. Their line of all-natural, socially-responsible bath and body products has received very good reviews.
Personally, I only tried the sugar body scrub but it was wonderful. The Apple Cider Body Sugar Scrub features apple extract, sweet almond oil, Vitamin E and of course, sugar. An 8 oz. jar is priced at just $14 and can purchased online at sunfeather.com.
I adore the scent of apples, so I knew …read more

Christmas morning may feel like it’s still ages away, but the fact is – it’s right around the corner.
