Hello people!
Dry skin often looks dull because it tends to accumulate more dead cells on the surface of the skin than any other skin type. That is why regular exfoliation is very important for this type of skin. A perfect scrub for dry skin should be cream based so that it can replenish skin’s lost moisture. The defoliating particles should be gritty enough to perform skin exfoliation successfully. But the skin should not be scrubbed vigorously else it may develop minuscule cuts all over. Today I have come up with a compilation of 15 top-rated scrubs that are available in India. Let’s move on to know more.
1. Lotus Herbals Apriscrub Fresh Apricot Scrub
Price: Rs.145 for 100gm Buy here
This one is my absolute favourite because it makes my face glow like no other exfoliator. This budget friendly scrub contains apricot as the scrubbing agent that clears off dead cells nicely and the cream base moisturises the skin quite well.
2. St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
Price: Rs.349 for 170gm Buy here
Many beauties swear by this apricot scrub from St. Ives. This paraben-free and sulphate-free formula contains the goodness of walnut, corn kernel meal and apricot extract. Another nice fact is that it is non-comedogenic. So, it won’t be clogging your pores.
3. Dirty Works Buttery Salt Scrub
Price: Rs.800 for 300ml Buy here
This one suits best for extremely dry and rough skin. As it has salt as scrubbing particle it needs to be handled with care when you are scrubbing your face. You will find it a good body scrub too.
4. Aroma Magic Coffee Bean Scrub
Price: Rs.375 for 100ml Buy here
This coffee based scrub is a chemical free and ‘all natural’ formula that is free from alcohol, paraben, artificial colour and flavour. It contains green coffee bean extract and Arabica coffee powder as main ingredients. It is said to ‘fight free radicals’ generated by environmental pollution and harmful sun rays.
5. Himalaya Herbals Gentle Exfoliating Walnut Scrub
Price: Rs.130 for 100gm Buy here
This one is a budget beauty. Consistency wise it is perfect for every type of skin. Enriched with the goodness of several natural antioxidants, this one promises blackhead and dead-cell free skin.

6. The Body Shop Honey & Oat 3-in-1 Scrub Mask

This honey and oats based scrub is a multipurpose product as it can work as a cleanser, exfoliator and mask. This fuss-free product supplies the effect of professionally done cleanup session in the comfort of your own home.

7. VLCC Indian Berberry Face Scrub
Price: Rs.220 for 80gm Buy here
The Indian Berberry scrub tops my list of favourite VLCC products solely for its wonderful performance. The main constituent of this product is Indian Berberry which is known in India as Daruhaldi. This product contains some very uncommon ingredients like mango seed powder, date extract and fenugreek powder.
8. Forest Essentials Hand Pounded Organic Fruit Scrub
Price: Rs.1675 for 50gm Buy here
This defoliator possesses natural ingredients like peach, date in their unadulterated form. Ancient ayurvedic techniques like hand pounding and fermentation have been used to make it.
9. Lakme Cleanup Nourishing Glow Face Scrub
Price: Rs.120 for 50gm Buy here
This face scrub came into the market as the second step to Lakme’s 3-step facial cleanup range. This particular variant of scrub contains strawberry extracts. It defoliates skin deeply and gives soft skin. Although it does not claim to unclog pores; it lessened the small bumps I gather as a result of clogged pores.
10. The Nature’s Co. Coffee Face Scrub
Price: Rs.975 for 175 ml Buy here
This coffee scrub by Nature’s Co contains coffee grain and powder as defoliants and vegetable glycerine and olive oil as moisturising base. The yummy coffee smell is sure to win many caffeine-lover hearts.

11. Kama Ayurveda Kumkumadi Brightening Ayurvedic Face Scrub
Price: Rs.995 for 50gm Buy here
All the goodness of kumkumadi tailam (means saffron and other oils) is captured in this product in the form of exfoliant. It smoothens and brightens without being harsh on delicate skin.
12. Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Active Apricot Face Scrub
Price: Rs.115 for 100gm Buy here
This facial defoliant from Garnier would suit best for dry-sensitive skin girls. This scrub has minuscule microbeads that remove dead skin gently.
13. Jovees Apricot & Almond Face Scrub
Price: Rs.125 for 100gm Buy here
This one is the last apricot scrub of this compilation. The USP of this one is its awesome fragrance. It performs skin renewal really well and balances skin’s moisture level at the same time.
14. Everyuth Exfoliating Walnut Scrub
Price: Rs.112 for 100gm Buy here
This walnut scrub is one of the old-gold face exfoliators, which has been recently upgraded with ‘nano multi-vita’. It is an excellent scrub for blackhead prone skin.
15. Biotique Bio Walnut Purifying & Polishing Scrub

This is a good skin polisher containing several natural ingredients like neem, pudina nagkesar etc. It fights acne problems in dry skin too.
