Do you love an oil-rich body scrub, or would you rather cleanse and exfoliate in the same step? Meet two different ways to enjoy your shower: Buttafly Jonez’s Gourmet Body Scrub and Butter and Sugar Scrub.
Here’s the important detail: both use salt for exfoliation. The difference is the base. Gourmet Body Scrub is oil-based, while Butter and Sugar Scrub is soap-based. Despite its delicious name, Butter and Sugar Scrub uses salt, not sugar, as its exfoliant. Neither scrub is edible!
Gourmet Body Scrub: the oil-rich option
Gourmet Body Scrub blends fine-grain salt with oils including avocado, castor seed, and grapeseed oils, plus glycerin. If you enjoy an oil-based scrub as a separate step after washing, this is the one to explore.
Follow its directions: wash your body first, exfoliate with the scrub, rinse, and pat dry. The product’s suggested routine is about twice a week, followed by a moisturizer such as Whipz Body Cream or Glistenin’ All Ova Yo Body Butter.
Butter and Sugar Scrub: the soap-based option
Butter and Sugar Scrub has an icing-like texture and a salt exfoliant in a non-oily, soap-based formula. It’s made for cleansing and exfoliating together.
Its directions say you can use it in place of Luxurious Body Wash for that shower session, about twice a week. If you prefer a soapy scrub rather than an oil-based one, start here.
Which fits your shower routine?
- Choose Gourmet Body Scrub if you want an oil-rich exfoliation step after cleansing.
- Choose Butter and Sugar Scrub if you prefer a non-oily scrub that combines cleansing and exfoliation.
- Follow the directions for the product you choose rather than using both back-to-back.
