  • EWG's Skin Deep - Cosmetic Safety Database Rating for Origins Salt Rub® Smoothing Body Scrub: (I will update this post once I get an email from Origins with the FULL list of ingredients I have requested so I can look it up on Skin Deep... they should post them on their website! Grrr. Not a fan of companies who don't disclose all product ingredient info).
  • Verdict: I love my scrubby gloves! I use these strictly for exfoliation in the shower. They make your skin feel soooo soft and velvety! I have a little suction cup hook thingy in my shower to keep these out of the shower's way so they can dry. To clean them, I just throw them in with my regular laundry as often as possible- letting them air dry of course. I actually plan to pick up a few more pairs when I get a chance. For me... these are faster and easier to use than a wash cloth and function better than a shower poof. As soon as I get a chance- I'm going to write a "How-To" post about proper dry brushing technique, how to keep your dry brush clean, and why it's important...
