Best grainy body scrub?

[QueenOfMyWorld]

I want one that feels like it's doing the job,most I've tried feel too namby pamby iyswim

I like the Sanctuary salt scrub or the hot sugar scrub, they feel more heavy duty than others

Make your own! Oil (coconut/olive/other), add sugar and salt. Super grainy and moisturising. Also cheaper!

I use the Soap and Glory lime and brown sugar scrub (can’t remember exactly what it’s called and the label has peeled off my current tub). I know what you mean about wanting a proper gritty one!

I do the same as @newdocket -either coconut oil with fine sea salt, or shower gel with fine sea salt.

Just mix it together in a tub and it makes a great grainy scrub.

Used coffee grounds are even better than a home made salt (or sugar) scrub. It makes a massive mess in the shower but works a treat, the mess rinses away no bother.

Soap & Glory. Either 'Sugar Crush' or 'Flake Away'. Often on 3 for 2 in Boots so maybe you could try the two and get a moisturiser as well.

The Nuxe one is lovely. Really effective scrubby bits and very moisturising. Plus it smells good too.

I'm a recent convert to the & Other Stories scrubs. I have keratosis pilaris so have tried all the usual suspects (Soap and Glory, Body Shop, supermarket own brand,etc) but this has just the right consistency of oil and sugar. Added bonus is that the scents are dreamy. My DSis used mine last night and was commenting on the smell it leaves on your skin. Am loving Havana Blues but Sicilian Lemon looks lush too.

I make my own too, with olive oil and salt or sugar.

Hotel chocolat did an amazing one for a while (smells of heaven, good and scratchy, moisturising, but also the only thing that gets chain grease off my husband post cycling!), but I don’t think you can get it anymore

I second MrsLettuce I also use coffee, just the cheapest I can find, then just before I turn the shower off I rub a lump of coconut oil all over. It makes my skin glow.

I like the body shop Brazillian capuachu scrub from spa of the world. It's a salt scrub that blends into an oil so exfoliates and moisturises at the same time and it smells amazing!

I use Optiat.
They reuse coffee grounds .
The Lemongrass Lifter is amazing.
It wakes my skin up.
Brilliant stuff and ethical too.

I like some of the Body Shop ones. The pink grapefruit is really refreshing-smelling and grainy enough IMO. The peach and coconut ones are good too. They've got a good sale on at the mo.

YY BodyShop Pink Grapefruit , non greasy and none of the 'coated' feeling.

But for ultimate scrubbiness , Korean Italian Towels (but you need a 30minute soak which I don't like really) skin just peels off

DIY- oil, sugar and essential oil.

Queen if you want something that does the job forget scrubs and get some Korean Italy towels your skin will never have felt softer they are amazing!

Sorry 70s I see you beat me to it!

Now I tend to just get a cheap supermarket/own brand type scrub, put it in a bigger jar and mix in way more sugar, salt or coffee grounds - I've tried most of the scrubs listed here and none are quite scrubby enough!

Doesn't oil in homemade scrubs clog up the drains?

Ive been meaning to ask for a while now whether grainy scrubs are ok for the environment - I know microbeads are causing a nightmare - but are natural scrubs ok?

I wonder about that too best before
I've heard you should avoid washing coffee grounds down the drain as they can accumulate in the u-bend.
I make my own body scrub with sugar, salt, honey and a little olive oil. I'm tempted by coconut oil, but that is solid at room temperature. I worry about it solidifying again in the pipes!

the rituals scrubs are great, if you want a cheap one just use aapri facial scrub all over

Superdrug vitamin e scrub

Boots no.7. I am a bit of a no.7 whore at the moment, everything I've tried is really good!
