10 Best Body Scrubs in India 2021(The Body Shop, Forest Essentials and More)

This is the body scrub for those who need a gel-based scrub with citrus extracts for oily skin to help remove extra sebum and deep-cleanse the pores. It leaves the skin feeling squeaky clean and is especially recommended for summer as it doesn’t feel greasy at all. It’s also great for travelling as it smells really refreshing and comes in a tube that is easy to carry and easy to use.

It’s not the best option for those with dry skin though as it is not moisturising enough and will leave the skin feeling tight for them. Although it opens up the pores, it doesn’t leave the skin feeling any softer, so even those with oily skin will need to lightly moisturise after using this. Additionally, its scent disappears really quickly as well, so that’s a bit disappointing too.

Those looking for a gel-based scrub with naturally purifying ingredients for oily skin should go for this one. It contains neem and tulsi, both of which are known to gently remove impurities and reduce acne, and therefore, is perfect for those with sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin, as well as those who want to fight blackheads and whiteheads.

Although it works marvellously for oily skin, it is not great for those with dry skin as it does not provide enough hydration and will strip the skin of whatever little oil it has. Additionally, it looks really affordable initially but when you take into account the amount of product you’re getting, you realise that it’s not really as cheap as it seems.

If you’re looking for a soothing, moisturising gel-based scrub for dry, sensitive skin in summer, then this would be amazing for you. It comes in a pretty big tub, which lasts about 3 months as you only need to use a little to cover your body. It leaves your skin feeling much softer and makes your entire bathroom smell like a rose garden.

We wouldn’t suggest it for those with oily skin though because even though it’s a gel-based scrub, it’s still quite heavy and will leave a greasy film on the skin. Furthermore, if you want a scrub with a lingering scent, this wouldn’t be the best option again because although it smells heavenly when you’re using it, the scent disappears within a few hours.

This is the scrub you need if you’re looking for something that is not too harsh and can be used to deep-cleanse pores every day during summertime. This gel-based scrub is highly recommended for those with oily skin as it keeps the sebum levels in control, and it’s also great to take with you while travelling due to its convenient packaging.

Although it contains green tea extracts and should be rich in antioxidants, it’s not particularly recommended for mature skin as it doesn’t have any significant firming or refining effects. In addition, since the consistency of this scrub is quite runny, it is easy to use more than you need and end up running out of it fairly quickly.

Those who have extremely sensitive and allergy-prone skin with regular body acne troubles should consider trying this scrub. It’s made with all-natural, vegan ingredients that help reduce breakouts, leave the skin feeling much softer, and make it appear much brighter. Although it’s a bit expensive, it is worth investing in as you do start seeing results with a few days of use.

While it’s great for those struggling with oily, sensitive skin, it’s not the best choice for those with dry skin as it contains tea tree oil, which reduces sebum production, and that’s not something you want for dry skin. Additionally, while it is really effective if you use it regularly, doing that can get pretty pricey, so if you’re looking for more economical options, this wouldn’t be right for you.

If you need a cream-based body scrub that’ll effectively tackle mature skin issues, then this is the one for you. It contains grape seed powder, which is rich in antioxidants that slow down signs of ageing by improving cell repair and production. It’s not too heavy, so it works well for dry, mature skin in summer and oily, mature skin in winter.

Although you get a lot of product and one of these tubs lasts for at least six to seven months, the initial investment is quite a bit, so if you’re looking for something that is more budget friendly, then we would suggest choosing one of the other products on this list. It is definitely worth the money though as it really helps improve the appearance, as well as the feel of the skin.

This is the body scrub for you if you’ve got extremely dry skin and need something that will work extra hard to make your flaky skin feel baby soft. It contains almond oil and almond butter that keep the skin moisturised even during the harshest winters and help exfoliate without causing any irritations even for those with sensitive skin.

It’s one of the most expensive body scrubs though, so you’ll definitely need to invest quite a bit initially. However, it’s paraben and sulphate free, helps eliminate ingrown hairs, tackles dullness, and lasts for almost five to six months, so if you think about its cost per use and how amazingly effective it is, it’ll definitely seem worthwhile.

This is one of the most cost-effective tubs of body scrubs you’ll find on the market. It has a gel-based formulation but almost feels like a gritty marmalade that helps you exfoliate without being too abrasive even on sensitive skin. It has a warm, fruity scent, and gritty, sugar granules that are not too rough but do not dissolve easily either.

One of these tubs will last you for more than eight months because not only is it huge, but you also need to use only a little to cover your whole body. It contains pomegranate extracts that are rich in antioxidants, making it suitable for mature skin, and since it is not overly moisturising, it is great for oily skin as well.

Those looking for an ayurvedic scrub to help them tackle ageing skin, as well as dull, dry skin, should definitely consider trying out this product. It contains herbs like ashwagandha and haldi that are known to minimise signs of ageing, as well as natural oils that help moisturise the skin to keep it looking soft, supple, and radiant.

It’s completely natural and contains no nasty chemicals or artificial fragrances, making it suitable for sensitive skin types as well. Although you need to spend quite a bit initially, one of these tubs will last you for about six to seven months, and make you feel like you’re at a luxurious spa every time you use it, so we highly recommend investing in it if you can.

The best body scrub on the market, it is not only relatively affordable but also a cruelty-free product that uses fair trade ingredients. It comes in a tube-type packaging, which makes it perfect for travelling with, and a little goes a long way with this scrub, so one of these tubes lasts for about three to four months, even if you use it two to three times a week.

It smells really sweet, almost like strawberry candy, and is gentle enough to be suitable for sensitive skin as well. It leaves the skin softer, smoother, and glowing, and you should be able to see the results from the first use itself. It’s not too heavily moisturising, so it works well for oily skin all-year-round, but not too drying either, so dry skin types can use it during summertime.
