Best body scrub for men

The best body scrub for men, or those who prefer less floral fragrances, can help exfoliate and soften your skin. From salt from the Dead Sea to Arabica coffee grounds via good old fashioned essential oils, we have a handsome line-up of body scrubs that offer a robust exfoliating experience. 

This popular scrub contains Dead Sea mud, rich in minerals like magnesium, sodium, bromine, potassium, and calcium that work to improve dry skin conditions visibly. This PraNaturals body scrub not only will gently remove dead skin cells but thanks to the blend of natural oils will nourish the skin for a smooth, soft, and healthy skin glow.

This is part of Alive's popular range of fresh bathroom products. It's an energising body scrub that helps to smooth and invigorate your skin. It's enriched with charcoal and ginger to deeply cleanse and polish your skin, leaving it feeling fresh and looking healthier. It promises to relieve stress and stiff muscles, improve joint health and circulation, and aid skin hydration.

This high-end body scrub has an "objective" — to help you not get called out for unnecessary roughness. It contains sea salt that exfoliates, sea kelp extract that nourishes, Aloe Vera gel that soothes, nutmeg extract that tones, and vitamin C that protects. It's a refreshing exfoliator that eliminates rough, flaky patches and polishes your body, leaving a smooth and even surface. 

This combines organic coffee grounds with moisturising, skin-soothing organic coconut oil and dead sea salt for an extra exfoliating kick. This claims to possibly help in the reduction of the appearance of cellulite. It's full of antioxidants, which help to fight the appearance of premature skin ageing like wrinkles, sun spots, fine lines, varicose veins, spider veins, and even stretch marks.

This has a three-prong approach to improving your skin. The activated charcoal detoxifies and removes impurities, toxins, dirt, and free-radicals. The Dead Sea salt exfoliates away dead skin cells that can clog pores and lead to blackheads and acne, and then the hydrating blend of jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, peppermint oil leaves your skin hydrated and refreshed.

This is an incredibly luxurious product from a spa-quality brand with a price tag to match, although this does come in a generous 490-gram jar. This contains invigorating ginger to stimulate your metabolism and tone, and lime peel to energise, cleanse and purify the skin. The sea salt is then blended with kukui, camellia, and jojoba oils to exfoliate and remineralise skin, leaving it moisturised and silky soft.

ManCave is a big brand in male grooming. This popular scrub contains charcoal powder and pumice to help slough away dead skin cells in the shower and reveal smoother-feeling skin. The black pepper oil, juniper oil, and cardamom oil combine to help smooth and treat the skin with antioxidants. While the scrub helps to polish, the Aloe Vera and L-arginine (a type of amino acid) combine to soften and soothe the skin. 

Scrub up 

All these body scrubs will help exfoliate, smooth, and moisturise your skin. Our overall staff pick, the PraNaturals Dead Sea body scrub, is so effective at exfoliating that you only need to use it a couple of times a week, meaning it will last longer. 

Anyone who wants a scrub that is safe for facial use should consider the Elaimei natural coffee body scrub. You can use this all over, including on your face, but its strong coffee smell means it's only advised for anyone who enjoys the aroma.
