This citrus body scrub is such a ‘summer‘ scrub, not only because it smells fresh and fun, but because it will help slough away that dry skin you might get from too much time in the sun (and pool)! I think it is also awesome for underarms as it seems to keep my skin clearer with less ingrown hairs and unsightly red bumps.
