I load up my bath poofie with body wash and turbinado sugar! it's great! I
think the scent you are referring to is cotton blossom – it's a very nice
clean fresh scent.
When I used the salt scrub, sometimes I'd use the scoop that came with it,
and sometimes I'd just dig in to scoop it out with my hand. I didn't like
all the oil in there, so I opted for the sugar scrub. I have my sugar in a
small shaker–type tupperware container, so I just pour it out on my bath
poof.

it's too scary slippery otherwise. Lately I've just been mixing up my own
scrub using turbinado sugar and a very mild liquid soap. (My current mixing
soap is a shea–based product––soothing but not slippery/oily.) I put a few
showers' worth of the stuff into a plastic I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
container; I use my fingers to scoop it out––messy but effective.

fall I had in the shower last year. My favorite non–oily scrub is
from the BBW True Blue Spa line called I'm In The Mood For Scrub(?)
It's in a squeeze top bottle so no having to hassle with a lid.

so i have finally decided to whip my salt scrub out. i am currently using b&bw
cotton something fragrance. i've never used it before and i really like it!
at first i was a little weirded by the wet, sandy consistancy. sort of like
grabbing wet sand off the shore in a way. but it definitely made my skin feel
smooth, with a subtle fragrance. i was expecting it to be abrasive and drying,
so this was a nice surprise. i'd say the only downfall was a bit of a slippery
shower floor, but nothing too concerning.
just curious what other people think of salt scrub. do u have something to use
to get it out of the jar or just use fingers? i have the origins also which i
haven't used yet but have heard good things about.

The reason I don't use salt scrub or any other product in a jar is
that they are too much of a nuisance in the shower, with wet hands,
trying
to open the jar, get out some of the product, put the lid back on and
the jars are a serious pain in the butt and waste time. I don't like when
hair conditioner is in a plastic jar, either, but if it's a good enough
product, I'll buy it.

My shower scrubs come in tubes with a flip top cap. I agree that the ones in the jars are a serious pain in the butt and waste time. I don't like when

FWIW, I avoid the slipperiness by laying spare tissue paper (just whatever I
get when I buy clothes) in the spare bathtub (my shower is separate from my
bathtub). I sit on the rim of the tub and exfoliate myself, and I hop into
the shower when I'm done. Afterwards, I just throw away the tissue paper.
Very little fuss, and no mess!

I used one from L'Occitane, and it was rather harsh, yet effective. I also
concocted my own with body creme and sea salt. Some say that Epsom salts
might be good in body scrub. Anyway, it's a really basic product that I
