The primary ingredients of a body scrub are as follows:
- Exfoliator
There are 3 most popular ingredients that may serve as an exfoliator.

- Salt. Salt is a natural mineral, which can be absorbed by your skin.
- Ground coffee. It is one of the most popular ingredients for body scrubs. Ground coffee also causes blood vessels to constrict and reduce varicose.
You can also use oatmeal, baking soda, rice or other similar natural substances that are capable of removing dead skin cells without damaging the skin.
