We’re in love with Principessa’s Amore scrub
Photography by Katie Ennis
Body scrubs gross me out. The sticky formulations land everywhere except the body parts I’m trying to hit, spewing globs on my shower floor making it slippery and treacherous. But I have a confession: I’m in love with Principessa Amore Afterglow Smoothing Salt Buff ($30, beautymark.ca). Yes, it’s a scrub. And, yes, it still makes a muck of my bathtub. But it’s combination of skin-softening shea butter and detoxifying sea and Epsom salts have won me over. I’m convinced that they’re doing my body good (and that my thighs are getting slimmer as a result). And the smell: like a little slice of heaven.

I feel the same way about scrubs! Haven’t tried this Principessa one (although I do know their stuff smells AMAZING) – but one other that you might want to try is Kiehl’s grapefruit body scrub. It’s creamy instead of oily, and the best part is, it leaves ZERO residue on the bottom of your tub. I will never go back to those big pots of oily goo.
I LOVE scrubs! Adriana, I don’t think you would love the nasty brown streaks that Juara Invigorating Coffee Scrub leaves in the tub–but if you give her a chance, you it’s totally life changing. Easily in my top ten favourite products of all time. I just close my eyes and chant to the cellulite gods, hoping that the caffeine will tighten something as I’m rubbing it in.
