Keep reading to learn about the best body scrub types for super smooth skin.

Best Body Scrub Types For Super Smooth Skin

If you are looking for something you can make at home, Pinterest is your friend. I love Pinterest, as it’s inspiration heaven for absolutely anything. You can find tutorials and recipes for almost anything you could possibly imagine, but it’s particularly great for DIY beauty treatments. 

Should you be trying a DIY body scrub, you have two main scrub type options – a sugar based scrub or a salt based scrub, and it tends to be the case where the coarser the grains, the better as they offer deeper exfoliation. You obviously can’t just massage dry salt/sugar grains into your skin as they’ll just go everywhere. So you’ll need to add them to a base, to help form a mixture that adheres to the skin a little better. 

I personally love using oils for DIY body scrubs, and coconut oil is a personal favourite of mine. You can mix a few tablespoons of salt or sugar with a few tablespoons of melted coconut oil, and it works nicely for massaging into the skin. It takes around a minute to make, and the oil helps to leave your skin super soft post-exfoliation too, which is a bonus.

My next suggestion for the best body scrub types for super smooth skin, would be my eco-friendly suggestion. Upcircle are a natural, ethical skincare brand which utilise leftover natural ingredients, and bring them back to life as beauty products your skin will love.

You’ve probably already heard about their amazing coffee face and body scrubs, where they use repurposed coffee grounds from London cafes to create them. There’s a hell of a lot of coffee shops in London, and it’s incredible that Upcircle are able to use something that would just be thrown away, and then create lovely beauty products with them. 

Coffee body scrubs are particularly great for super smooth skin, as it’s a natural body exfoliator that works to buff away dead, dry skin cells. They have two different body scrubs to choose from; one of them being a Cocoa Butter Exfoliating Scrub, and they also have Lemongrass Exfoliating Scrub too, depending on your preference – but they both sound heavenly.

My final recommendation for best body scrub types for super smooth skin is a manual exfoliation option. Scrubs are great, but sometimes you need something that’s going to give you a little more exfoliation. Body Brushing is a massively popular trend right now, and it’s something you can use in conjunction with a body scrub.

It works by increasing circulation and blood flow, stimulates drainage from the lymphatic system and helps to smooth the skin’s surface, whilst sloughing away dead skin cells for perfect summer-ready skin. It’s something you can do on dry skin before stepping into the shower, where you can follow up with a body scrub of your choice for the maximum exfoliation benefits.

I hope you found these best body scrub types for super smooth skin helpful.
