If your skin is winter worn, try a homemade scrub before splurging on expensive salts and lousy loofahs:

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup grapeseed or olive oil
A splash of vanilla extract (or your favourite essential oil)
Stir and slough away.

You know a product works when there is only a handful left in the whole country.

From venerable British perfumer Jo Malone, a new Vitamin E body treatment scrub ($85) sloughs away dead cells leaving skin feeling smooth and divine.

We nabbed a pot earlier in the summer and have since tried to grab as many as possible for gal pals jealous of our silky gams.

There are four pots left at Holts (last we checked) but if you don’t make it there in time Epsom salts and a decent loofah will do until the next shipment arrives.
