I am a big fan of body scrubs and exfoliating body washes that invigorate the skin and the senses. However, I like to have luxury and drugstore items from which to choose, and here are my top two picks that are definitely worthy of your consideration!

Malin+Goetz Peppermint Body Scrub ($35.00 for 7.5 oz. from Malin+Goetz, Space NK,  Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's): This is one of my all-time favorite body scrubs for so many reasons! Among them is the fact that it boasts a foaming gel formula that is gentle and non-stripping, and yet it effectively removes dead skin cells, and reveals silky soft and ultra smooth skin. It also has no greasy residue that requires additional washing, and the peppermint aroma is seriously exhilarating without being overdone. This is a truly amazing body scrub, and I highly recommend it! If you are willing to splurge, this should be at the top of your list!

According to Malin+Goetz,

Our foaming gel scrub synthesizes peppermint with amino acid-based, hydrating exfoliation.  Gently and effectively purifies and pH balances all skin types. Mixing bamboo and pumice helps shed dead skin, stimulate cell renewal, and soothe without irritation, drying, or stripping. Rinses free of residue for smooth, even skin. Natural color. Easily integrated into daily maintenance and prevention regimen.
