St. Ives Apricot Scrub has taken a lot of heat for ‘ruining’ the skin of many, but many can’t help but use the scrub on their legs and elbows to give their skin that extra smooth feeling they crave.

The skin on your legs is certainly tougher than your face, but the scrub is not clean. Below are a few alternatives to test out:

Herbivore’s Coco Rose Body Polish

5/5 for Sensitive and Dry Skin, Recommended Use: Twice/Week

This body polish is a gentle exfoliator with very fine pieces of sugar that work to remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother skin. Coconut oil and shea butter provide the scrub with moisturizing and hydrating properties whereas, the pink clay detoxes the skin. I prefer this body polish, since it is much kinder/gentler to the skin and has a light rose scent.
