Scrub up with serious exfoliators

Nothing beats a session with some serious body exfoliators. Out with the old skin cells and in with the new. Maybe this is what being reborn is all about.

Origins Incredible Spreadable Scrub
$63 for 250ml

Origins excels in the field of exfoliation. This uses white and brown sugar and Dead Sea salts to shed dead cells, olive oil to hydrate and a heady mix of mint and rosemary to uplift.

* From Smith & Caughey's, Origins Botany Downs, and pharmacies.

Perfect Potion Body Buff
$19.95 for 250ml

One from an Australian aromatherapy company, this has pieces of nut shells to slough skin and the essential oils detox and improve tone.

* From Health 2000 stores.

Pure Fiji Frangipani Sugar Rub
$55 for 472ml

Made in Suva, this sugarcane, coconut and macadamia nut oil scrub is about as natural as it gets.

That frangipani smell is a sad reminder we're not in Fiji.

* From About Face beauty therapists.

Linden Leaves Herbalist Flax Seed Body Polish
$19.60 for 210ml

The apricot-seed powder that does the business here goes on to rejuvenate, with flax-seed extract and oil, shea butter, calendula and ginger oil. But it's the lemongrass oil that really gets you.

* From selected department stores, pharmacies and gift stores.

The Body Shop Energising Bergamot Salt Scrub
$40 for 350ml

The bergamot scent is better than a latte. This salt scrub comes with organic soya oil from Brazil and the bergamot is from Italy, so it's the UN of exfoliators.

* From the Body Shop.
