Once you've tried a truly indulgent, beautifully packaged body scrub, it's hard to imagine showering without one. I remember my first: the now-classic Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish. The brown sugar exfoliates away dry, dead cells. The evening primrose and sweet almond oils leave skin silky for days. And the ginseng root gets your circulation going. Plus, the hefty tub looks chic sitting on the cluttered ledge of my bathtub. I know I could mix together some sugar and olive oil for a DIY scrub, but the Fresh scrub is so much more.

Now, there's a new generation of high-end body scrubs popping up at department stores, following in the footsteps of the cult favorite from Fresh. Not only do these scrubs make your skin feel amazing, they also have therapeutic benefits and glamorous packaging that make them worth every penny.
