Body Scrubs Make Almost Everything Better

I’m really into body scrubs lately—the scrubbier the better. Not only do they keep my self-tanner from looking weird and patchy, but they provide a two minute reprieve from an otherwise hectic life. Coarse salt or sugar and a lot of rich plant oils seem to be the winning combination for a a spa-like experience that leaves behind a lovely sheen.
