Body Polishers exfoliate and hydrate your skin leaving it “newborn baby smooth” and they are all the rage now-a-days! From homemade scrubs, on sites like Etsy.com, to hundred dollar devices that will rid you of dead skin, here are a few options for our penny pinchers or excess spenders. No matter what your budget, we have the fix for you! Written by Autumn McHugh For our natural remedy, D-I-Y girls; all a body polisher calls for are the following ingredients: • Sea Salt or Sugar- the large crystals help to effectively remove dead skin cells • Olive oil- naturally extracts impurities • Vitamin E- nourishes dry skin • Baking soda- removes blackheads •Aromatic essential oils- scents like lavender or eucalyptus are calming oils For those of us who prefer to skip the kitchen prep, store bought polishers are just as effective. A few awesome ones include: • Ocean Salt by Lush Cosmetics • Wild Madagascar Vanilla Beam by Bath and BodyWorks • Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub by St. Ives H
