Top 3 Natural body scrubs
A high-quality, deliciously-scented body scrub is arguably one of the most luxurious bath and body products a mom-to-be can integrate into her beauty routine. The ritual of rubbing an indulgent scrub into your skin during a bath or shower is both relaxing and invigorating, and everyone can enjoy the benefits of silky soft, smooth skin that the gentle exfoliation leaves behind. We’d love to use our body scrubs for a daily dose of exfoliation, but since they’re not exactly cheap, we try our hardest to make them last, although they’re so amazing, we think they're worth every penny! Here are our current Top 3 favorite natural body scrubs for pregnancy.

Why we love it:
The Rose Sea Polish from French Girl Organics is a bathing routine game changer. There is nothing quite like a truly effective and supremely luxurious scrub to relieve the itch of stretching, dry pregnancy skin in a way that feels blissfully indulgent. The Rose Sea Polish is at the core of our favorite pregnancy ritual (see our Relax & Refresh for details) where rubbing this heavenly rose scented scrub into your skin during a bath or shower relaxes, invigorates and leaves skin silky soft and glowing. We highly recommend following up with French Girl's Lumiere Moonlight Body Oil for undeniably moisturized, glistening skin. We sell this pregnancy-safe body exfoliator in The Nurtured 9 Pregnancy Shop!
Indie Lee Coconut Citrus Body Scrub
Why we love it:
This all-natural body scrub from clean beauty brand Indie Lee combines coconut, lemongrass, lemon balm, jojoba, and vanilla, and smells amazing – almost like a warm and zesty lemon coconut cookie. If you find overly “natural” or “herby” smells off-putting (particularly during the morning-sickness-prone first trimester), we highly suggest reaching for this light, citrusy option to gently scrub away dead skin cells.
Beautycounter Sugar Body Scrub
Why we love it:
Beautycounter is one of our favorite clean beauty brands that sells high quality products in simple, modern packaging. The company is committed to non-toxic beauty and has banned more than 1,500 questionable or harmful chemicals in its products. We love this body scrub made with brown sugar and hydrating oils like primrose, apricot kernel, and sunflower. The refreshing “lemongrass” scent is bright and citrusy, and reminds us slightly of lemon-lime candies from our childhood.

We did our best to sort out what we feel are the best pregnancy-friendly options out there by conducting extensive research, including: talking with our own doctors, scouring the internet, sifting through product reviews, and chatting with other moms-to-be. We hope our research helps you find products that make you feel great!)
