Leg scrubs are your beauty allies, for always smooth and polished legs.
A great ally of hair removal, the scrub done a couple of days before hair removal with wax or razor, helps prepare the skin by eliminating ingrown hairs and preventing folliculitis .
And in summer? A must-have even in summer to prepare the skin for a perfect and even tan!
Even on dry legs, scrubbing is essential because it promotes the absorption of moisturizing and nourishing creams.

What is leg scrub for and how to make it
The scrub is a micro abrasion of the skin that removes dead skin, smoothes the skin, reactivates venous circulation and therefore drains!
Do your exfoliating leg scrub on wet skin, using slow circular movements to reactivate circulation and cell turnover.
Begin circular movements maintaining light pressure starting from the ankles and moving up.
Rinse with cold water for a toning effect!
The skin will immediately be luminous and soft, ready to absorb the principles of the products we are going to apply.
Natural DIY Leg Scrub
If you love DIY, here is a simple and effective recipe to create a natural and economical homemade salt and coffee leg scrub !
You will need:
- 4 tablespoons of coffee grounds - with draining power
- 2 tablespoons of sugar - with exfoliating power
- 2 tablespoons of coarse sea salt - with draining and exfoliating power
- 2 or 3 tablespoons of almond or coconut oil - nourishing and smoothing
First mix all the dry ingredients in a small bowl, now add the almond or coconut oil.
Now apply the scrub to your skin, in the areas you wish to treat, massaging with energetic but not too strong circular movements.
Recommended organic leg scrubs
If you prefer a ready-to-use cosmetic to a DIY scrub, here are the leg scrubs I have selected for you.
They are all exfoliating scrubs with natural microgranules : you will not find microplastics in these products, in full respect of nature!
The first scrub I want to recommend is the Kamelì Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub , a salt leg scrub with a toning and draining action.
Dead Sea salts have a draining action and therefore help you combat fluid retention that can lead to the appearance of cellulite, swollen legs and tired legs.
Onda Oceanica by Volga Cosmetici is the other leg scrub I want to recommend: here the exfoliating action of salt is combined with the draining and toning power of coffee .
A boost of energy for your skin and your mood!
If scrubs with microgranules are not your thing, due to their mechanical action, and you prefer a product to apply and leave on for 2-3 minutes to remove dead cells and impurities, I recommend trying Yuniwa's Enzyme Exfoliating Gel , which stimulates skin microcirculation, stimulates the skin to produce elastin and collagen, hydrates and provides a protective and antioxidant action. Easy to apply and use, you spread it on the skin and it does its magic by itself , you just have to rinse it off at the end! What more could you want?
Extra tips
- Do the leg scrub once a week, if your skin is delicate you can do it even every 15 days.
- Never scrub on cuts, abrasions, burned skin, wounds or irritations.
- If you prefer a gentle exfoliation, use the scrub on damp skin. If you want a stronger exfoliation, for example on knees or heels, you can also use your scrub on dry skin.
- Scrubbing can be done all year round, even in summer! It doesn't ruin your tan but rather makes it easier.
- Avoid scrubbing the first few days of sun exposure: your skin will already be very damaged by the sun's rays, so it's best not to stress it!
