Best Body Scrub No. 10: Giovanni Hot Chocolate Sugar Scrub, $13.24
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.2*

Why it's great: This scrub may have an unusual texture (one reader describes it as "gel-like") but it gets the job done and smells like brownie batter to boot. As one reviewer puts it, "Seriously, you can't go wrong with chocolate, and if you can use it on your skin, even better." Readers agree the product is worth the money, because it "is loaded with natural ingredients" and exfoliates really well, leaving their skin "so incredibly soft."

Best Body Scrub No. 7: Bliss Hot Salt Scrub, $15
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.3*

Why it's great: This scrub heats up as you rub it on and rinses away easily, a feature that keeps users coming back for more. The eucalyptus and rosemary oils give it an "invigorating" smell that is "pleasant without being overpowering." Reviewers notice that their dry skin is smoothed away when they use this product, leaving them with "supple" and "moisturized" skin that lasts beyond the shower.

Best Body Scrub No. 6: Origins Ginger Body Scrub Smoothing Body Buffer, $40.50
TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.4*

Why it's great: Say goodbye to dead, flaky skin with this scrub that readers call "perfection in a jar." It manages to be "refreshing and relaxing" at the same time, and readers agree that it leaves their skin "smooth and amazingly soft." The ginger smell isn't too overpowering, and readers report that the smell makes them "feel awake, alive and energized." Just be careful when using it, though — one reader reports that the oil (which readers agree helps their skin feel super moisturized) lingers in the shower and can make it slippery.

We love a rich, moisturizing body scrub. Unfortunately, exfoliating in the shower can take circus-like stability to avoid slipping on the layer of oil that many body scrubs leave all over the tub. That's why an excellent scrub must have great balance, too: the right ratio of skin-sloughing properties to moisturizing elements, and an amazing fragrance that is energizing, yet relaxing enough to make you feel like you've stepped into a luxury spa. Sound like a tall order? That's why only 17 body scrubs made the cut. Click through to see which reader-reviewed products stand up to the challenge.
