A face or body scrub are small particles in a base which is used to scrub away dull, dead skin cells from the surface of the skin to reveal a radiant and refreshed complexion.  Dead skin cells build up on the face over time causing a dull complexion and clogging pores. These scrubs can be used anytime, especially before other masques and moisturizing.

Here are a few facial and body scrubs that will leave your skin looking fresher!
