17 best body scrubs

Want to exfoliate your body to super soft skin without making your bath feel as oily and slippery? This list of products will help you with that. We all love scented, moisturizing body scrubs.

Sounds almost impossible? That is why only 17 scrubs passed the test. Read on to see what the winners are.
