Beauty buzz: body scrubs

Body scrubs are as much about exfoliating the skin as stimulating blood circulation for brighter, smoother skin. No matter which one of our picks you go for, make sure you massage areas which tend to be dry and tough, such as elbows, ankles and knees.

Crabtree & Evelyn’s Skin Invigorating Deep Cleansing Body Scrub (HK$275/175ml) from the brand’s Tarocco Orange, Eucalyptus and Sage collection is a mild gel-like product. The round, soft sunflower-wax granules exfoliate gently, which makes the scrub suitable for frequent use. Vitamin C-rich Tarocco blood orange, eucalyptus and sage extracts are said to cleanse, detoxify and deodorise the skin.
