| Dermologica makes a scrub called SkinPrep~~~so good! Gets your face very clean, mix it with their cleanser and do this in the shower, just easier to remove that way! |

| This ball shaped, dark brown scrub by Ojon. It's huge and very awkward to use. You end up getting this brown sludge all over everything. It looks like brown" you know what"!! |

doohicus, that sounds awful! I don't like the salt scrubs, they burn  I got this scrub for Christmas that is from the Dead Sea, well it says it is from the dead sea, probably just salt  It has these essential oils in it and when you use it it is like a layer of grease that is left on your skin, nasty  |

Anything with large crystals like those large glass spa looking jars that look great sitting on the side of the tub but in all reality are just rock salt mixed with essential oils. I hate to feel oily when I get out of the shower.
My personal worst was one from Claudalie I'm afraid. Thankfully I had a sample and I was repulsed on inhalation and couldn't bring myself to wash with it, it smelt like fermented, sweaty wine. Truly awful.
I like anything with tiny sand like granules that really buff the shoulders and make them gleam afterwards. The St Tropez tan remover is a good one because it buffs enough to remove a fake tan so it does the job really well on oily skin like mine. Althoug I'm not too keen on the strong odour nor their fake tan line. |

The worst one I've tried so far is from H2O+ salt scrub line. I don't remember its exact name. It was so greasy yet didn't feel moisturizing and the texture was so coarse I thought it was gonna shred my skin to bits.
Unlike Camelia, I love Caudalie scrub. At least the one I've tried anyway (Crushed Cabernet Scrub). I agree it doesn't smell nice, but it really does scrub well and leaves my skin so nice and soft without feeling greasy. It's definitely one of my most favorites. Other favorites are Juara Invigorating Coffee Scrub, Origins Paradise Found, Origins Spice Odyssey and Bliss Vanilla + Bergamot. |

| I bought a few of the Bella Lucce Scrubs a while back, they all smelt delicious but I couldn't stand using them. They left my skin so greasy and oily afterwards and not in a good way. I felt as if I needed another shower after using them. |

MAC volcanic ash
It left my skin feeling smooth, but any were I had any type of wrinkle in my skin like the lines on the inside of my hands, elbows, feet, in between fingers etc, it left a black tinge so i looked dirty! The scrub looks like black tar but is not a bad exfoliator- but make sure you wash really really really well with soap and wash cloth after you use it. |

I completely disagree with you. I got a free forum gift size from EDS and I find the product really really good. It is too bad, it did not work, for sure it worked for me. My skin is even better!
The bad news is that I am almost finish with this MD facial face and body scrub and I asked EDS customer service if they sell this, but they don't to Canadian customers, only to USA customers.
Why not try it again

| I don't use a body scrub as such - I bought these brilliant exfoliating towels from The BodyShop and use that with my Sothys Energising Shower Gel - brilliant! |

| I love the Sanctuary Salt scrub but have really found that body brushing is a natural exfoliation process for me, and makes the circulation and skin feel really nice. |

| My worst one was a homemade scrub I bought froma crafts market outside Brisbane Australia--the oil in it was rancid!! I guess most aging ex-hippies have lost their sense of smell... |

I just started using Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion for the Body, and absolutely love it. I'm also a big fan of Bliss' Eucalyptus Hot Salt Scrub.
NOT a fan of St. Eve's Apricot Scrubs - the scrubby things are way to big, and they hurt! |
