Scrub your Way to Beauty
photography by Andrew Purcell
As spring approaches and the weather warms, you’ll begin to bare your dry, winter skin. Lotion may help the situation, but a scrub (at home or at the spa) will give you dramatic results in a much shorter period of time. While some scrubs obtain their exfoliating action from alpha-hydroxy acids, others employ such ingredients as crushed almonds, herbs, salt or sugar. Here are a few at-home scrubs to try:
1. Anakiri Herbal Fusion Body Oil & Bath Salts, $27/$18, www.anakiri.com
2. Tara Ayurveda Bindi Herbal Body Treatment, $28, www.taraspa.com
3. Arcelia Calmar Body Scrub, $20, www.arceliabodycare.com
