Sugar scrub or salt scrub — which is better?
Reviewer consensus
Across the reviewers we read, sugar scrubs (Tree Hut, Brooklyn Botany Brown Sugar) tend to be recommended for sensitive skin and daily use because the granules are smaller and dissolve faster. Salt scrubs (Majestic Pure Himalayan, ELEMIS, OUAI) deliver a more aggressive polish and tend to draw praise for rough patches like feet, elbows, and KP-prone areas, but specialist-community posts warn they can feel drying or harsh on broken or freshly shaved skin.
