The Perfect Winter Body Scrub


A few years ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Lisa Price, the founder of Carol's Daughter, about the expansion of her beauty business for Crain's New York Business. Lisa's story is inspiring, and her products are incredible.

My current favorite is: SweetHoneyDipChocolateBrownSugah Scrub. Brown sugar crystals, a blend of natural oils, and a chocolatey-honey fragrance make this a great body scrub for cold weather: The scent is warm and yummy and lingers lightly on the skin without being too overpowering. The sugar exfoliates, and the oils provide excellent moisture — no lotion necessary.

The scrub is paraben-free, and contains no petroleum, mineral oil, or artificial color. (In fact, the only potentially icky ingredient in the product is the generic "fragrance.") So scrub away — and be prepared for a post-shower chocolate craving.
