Body wash/scrub that actually feels gritty and works well for sweaty skin?
I’m looking for a body wash or body scrub that actually feels gritty/scrubby and gives more of a strong clean feeling than regular body wash.
I sweat a good amount and get some acne on my shoulders and upper back. Most regular body washes don’t feel like they scrub enough, and a lot of “exfoliating” body washes feel barely exfoliating.
For reference, I use St. Ives Apricot Scrub on my face and like how gritty it feels. I’m looking for something similar in scrubby feeling, but for body use in the shower.
What I’m looking for:
- Strong physical exfoliation/grit
- Good value for what you get
- Something for body use in the shower
- Mainly for sweaty skin and shoulder/upper back acne areas
- Not looking for exfoliating gloves
I’m open to different price ranges, but I mainly want something that’s actually worth the money for the amount/performance.
Any recommendations for a body wash, body scrub, or exfoliating bar that actually feels like it scrubs well?
