Best Body Scrubs (Exfoliators) for Men – Adiós, Dry Skin

Guys, it’s time to take a stand against rough, dry skin.

Women got the memo many years ago and now it’s our turn to step up our game and kick the crap out of that dry, coarse skin that is taking over our bodies.

The truth is body scrub is one of those skincare products that most men simply ignore.

And if I’m being honest, I too spent many years pretending like body scrub didn’t exist. While I always understood the benefits that body scrub offered, I simply didn’t want to add another product —or step— to my daily skincare routine.

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind taking care of my skin. I just prefer to do it in the simplest, easiest, most lazy way possible.

In fact it wasn’t until I was gifted a jar of body scrub that I finally broke down and decided to give it a try.

Not only was I immediately impressed by the effects it had on my skin — smooth as a babies ass would be an understatement— but I was also glad to realize that using body scrub on a daily basis is not at all necessary. In fact just once or twice a week is typically enough for most men.

So not only does body scrub kick the crap out of coarse, dry skin, but the fact that it only has to be used once or twice a week makes it easy for any man to squeeze into his busy schedule. Kind of a win-win if you ask me.

So if you’re interested in taking your skincare routine to the next level, keep scrolling for my list of best body scrubs for men. Stay smooth gentlemen.

Tame the Beast – Exfoliating Body Scrub

Exfoliation powered by: Volcanic lava rock

Blast through dry skin and rough patches like a real man with this exfoliating body scrub by Tame the Beast. Powered by gritty volcanic lava rock, this scrub is specifically designed for men and is intended to exfoliate, smooth, soften, moisturize, and even provide a refreshingly cool tingle to the skin that feels pretty damn refreshing.

One of the reasons why this scrub is so great is because of its perfect level of grittiness. It not only does a kick ass job of softening and smoothing the skin, but it also has no trouble powering through thick, coarse skin commonly found on the hands, feet, knees, and elbows.

Another unique feature about this Tame the Beast body scrub is the menthol, eucalyptus, and peppermint powered tingle that feels really great on the skin. It feels cool and refreshing, and also helps awaken the senses during those early morning showers.

Performance aside, one of the first things you’ll notice about this body scrub is the fresh, manly scent. Featuring Tame the Beast’s signature “YAWP” fragrance, this body scrub smells very clean, musky, and undeniably masculine as hell. It’s also pretty long lasting too; staying detectable on the skin for hours.

Another thing that I really like about this body scrub is that it’s formulated with a bunch of all-natural botanicals and extracts. Here’s some of the key ingredients: Eucalyptus oil, menthol, peppermint oil, vegetable glycerin, sugarcane extract, apple extract, green tea extract, orange extract, lemon extract, lavender oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, volcanic lava rock.

Formulated with exfoliating sea salt, this body scrub powers through rough, dry patches of skin while it provides nourishment and hydration thanks to its unique list of ingredients, including: Sea kelp extract, aloe vera, glycerin, nutmeg extract, and vitamin C.

Not only does this scrub leave the skin feeling silky soft and smooth, but it also provides a ton of moisture and hydration: two things you won’t find in most other body scrubs.

Another thing I really like about Anthony Body Scrub is how simple and easy it is to use. It features a unique texture that’s sort of a cross between body wash and body scrub. Not only does this allow it to be easily worked into the skin, but I also find that you don’t need to use much of it to get the job done.

It’s also worth mentioning that this scrub has an awesome, long-lasting scent that’s reminiscent of the sea. It smells fresh, clean, and unmistakably masculine as all hell. Two thumbs up.

One of my favorite products from Jack Black is their Turbo Body Scrub. This unique body scrub is designed to gently exfoliate the skin while moisturizing ingredients restore hydration and even help relax tired, achey muscles.

Once this scrub is applied to the skin you can really feel it going to work. While the scrubbing particles do an awesome job of softening and smoothing the skin, eucalyptus oil provides a refreshing cooling sensation that is perfect for achey muscles and joints.

Here’s a look at some of the key ingredients: Hawaiian sea salt, Dead Sea salt, epsom salt, arnica, capsaicin, shea butter, soybean oil, eucalyptus oil, glycerin.

Their polishing body scrub for men is formulated to eliminate dirt, grime, bacteria, and of coarse dead skin, while helping to eliminate acne and prevent future breakouts.

Majestic Pure – Arabica Coffee Body Scrub

Exfoliation powered by: Kona coffee grounds and Dead Sea salt

This body scrub from Majestic Pure might look and smell like ground coffee, but don’t expect it to make a good cup of joe. Although it does contain organic Kona coffee grounds for exfoliation, it’s also infused with Dead Sea salt, olive oil, sweet almond oil, grapeseed oil, Arabica coffee seed oil, shea butter, cacao extract, and coconut extract.

While this body scrubs most distinguishing feature is undoubtedly its awesome coffee scent (think fresh Colombian brew), its ability to obliterate coarse, dry skin is the true reason why I included it on this list.

Thanks to the power of Kona coffee grounds and Dead Sea salt, this all-natural body scrub gently sloughs away dead, dry skin while the organic oils and extracts leave the skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.

And while this body scrub is technically formulated for both men and women, I find that the fresh coffee scent is bold, rugged, masculine and perfectly suited for discerning gentlemen such as ourselves.

Aside from its ability to gently exfoliate the skin, this scrub also acts as a moisturizing body wash. This 2-in-1 feature is very convenient and a big time saver for gentlemen on the go.

How to Use Body Scrub – 3 Tips for Men

One of the most commonly asked questions regarding body scrub is how to use it properly. Thankfully the process for using body scrub is pretty simple and straightforward.

While the frequency of usage will vary from individual to individual, it’s generally recommended to use body scrub 1-3 times per week. Based on my personal experience I suggest staying in the 1-2 times per week range.

Anything more than that seems a bit like overkill and wasteful in my opinion. But I’ll let you make that decision based on your particular skincare needs.

Once you settle on frequency of use, here’s how to properly implement a body scrub into your skincare routine:

1. Soften your skin

Before you apply the body scrub it’s important to hydrate and soften your skin with warm water for 5-10 minutes. This will help soften and lift any dead skin; allowing the body scrub to do its job more easily and effectively.

2. Circular motions

Once your body is fully hydrated, apply the body scrub and gently scrub in circular motions without applying too much pressure. Many body scrubs can scratch or mark the skin if too much pressure is applied.

3. Target trouble areas

Work the body scrub over the entirety of your body while paying close attention to trouble areas. Most men suffer from patches of dry skin on their feet, hands, elbows, and knees, so spend a little bit of extra time in these areas.
