Now that it’s August, it feels that summer is fleeting. I haven’t been able to fly anywhere this summer (feel free to read what happened to my would-be vacation here) but I’ve had the chance to do day trips here and there. The above picture is from my boyfriend’s cottage we escaped to for a couple of days.
Other than sun protection, another important skin concern I have is making sure I have clean smooth skin. As I’m outside, sweating, and getting dirty (with sunscreen residue), this can make me feel pretty icky. One way I’ve found that has helped this is using body scrubs (I have a couple on the go right now). Two that I’m LOVING so far are the BVspa Salt Scrub and Sugar Scrub!
I received two BVspa scrubs to try out: Salt Scrub in Pomegranate & Acai Berry and Sugar Scrub in Pink Grapefruit. The fragrances used by BVspa were chosen due to their aroma-therapeutic qualities. Also their scrubs are made with natural ingredients.
I end up keeping both of these on hand in the shower. I find the sugar scrub is a lot more gritty than the salt scrub, so depending on how much of a ‘scrub’ I need I’ll choose which one fits the bill. Both scents are strong but pleasant. They smell fruity and sweet and it’s a great way to add a punch to your shower. Something I also really appreciate is that it doesn’t make your shower floor slippery. Some past scrubs I’ve used make the shower floor slippery which can be a bit dangerous (for me or the next person that steps in)! I’m happy to say that I haven’t experienced this with these scrubs!
It’s recommended that you don’t use these scrubs on your face and that makes sense. They are thick and gritty so it might be a bit too much. For the body though, it’s great to remove all that icky summer residue!
Something else I’ve been using these scrubs for is to prep the skin for hair removal. Specifically, I’ve been trying to cut down the ingrown hair for my underarms just because for some reason I get a lot of them there. Using a scrub on a regular basis is supposed to help, and I have been noticing a difference! Hopefully my wax esthetician does too!
All in all these scrubs are amazing. I highly recommend them to keep your skin fresh and exfoliated. In Canada you can find BVspa products at Shoppers Drug Mart for around $11. These products are priced very reasonably for the amount you get and how effective they are!
Thanks so much for reading! Hope you’re having a great day!

Great review and I received the lavender one! I agree that the sugar scrub is a little gritty but that is the way I like my scrub to be. I also got a salt scrub which is okay, it’s gentler but melted off too quickly for my liking.
Thanks Shireen! I agree. Since my skin isn’t super sensitive, I feel like I get the most from a grittier scrub!
I love a good scrub, and these sound lovely! xx
