Sexy Summer Skin :: When in Doubt, Exfoliate!
It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the new Fruits & Passions line. What’s not to love? Body butters, shower creams, hand and lip butters... So of course, when I heard of F&P’s new exfoliating products, I had to give it a whirl.
As expected, I wasn’t disappointed. With five nourishing exfoliating creams, F&P smoothes, tones, and hydrates skin to a new level. But with beach season in full bloom, how will these creams measure up to summer’s hottest products? Read on for the skinny on exfoliation.
Layla Coco Pineapple Kiwi Body Scrub
Available online, this all-natural and gentle exfoliator combines shea butter, coconut oil, vitamin E and honey to moisturize your skin while lifting dead skin cells. Gentle enough to use daily, it leaves skin feeling noticeably different with as little as one application. Overall rating? Three stars.
Pineapple Kiwi Body Scrub from Layla Coco is available at www.laylacoco.com for $15.
Diamond Sugar Scrub by Body Systems
Ok the truth is out: I am OBSESSED with this product! Perfect for any special occasion (or everyday use if you like the glam life!), this exfoliant offers unmatched moisture to every inch of your body while leaving a soft, shimmery glow behind. The perfect scent for summer, the Diamond Sugar Scrub is a must-have in every gal’s shower.
Here’s the killer: It’s made with real diamonds (no joke!), so Body System’s hottest product leaves you looking healthy, wealthy, and well... wise. After all, who’d be dumb enough to pass up this gem? Overall rating? Five stars.

Nourishing Exfoliant
What do shea, Tahitian monoi, avocado, morninga, and olive all have in common? They all hold the key to Fruits & Passion’s new exfoliating creams-each working overtime for a new you!
The Nourishing Exfoliating Cream is available in five formulas to cater to a variety of skin treatment needs. While designed to gently and safely remove the outermost layers of dead skin cells, F&P’s Exfoliating Creams also combine botanical extracts for that extra scent you’re going for. Overall rating? Four stars.

For the Boys :: Elemis Energising Skin Scrub
Not wanting to exclude the guys, I asked my editor what his favorite new scrub was and without hesitation he shot back with, "Elemis. It’s literally the perfect product."
Designed to prep the face for shaving, Jason touted Elemis’ Energising Skin Scrub for the rest of the body as well. It gets rid of the top layer of dead skin, revealing fresh skin underneath. It also doesn’t smell like flowers, which the guys appreciate.
Not one to shut up too quickly, he also went on about how cool the packaging was, which lead into a discussion of his bathroom, and how good it looks in it...
Elemis Energising Skin Scrub runs $35 or 46 (depending on size). For more info, www.Elemis.com and to buy it, www.timetospa.com
So throw on your super short shorts and show off some skin. With three radiant exfoliant lines, you’ve got no excuse not to.
