Body Skin Type: Normal
Hello everyone,
I love body scrubs and that too, to an extent that I tend to overdo this process at times. Looking at the super cute packaging and the words "glow” and "butter,” I could not resist picking up the Dirty Works Glow Girl Buttery Salt Scrub. Read on to know how it fared for me.
Product Description:
Polish dry, dull skin with this hardworking exfoliator which combines Sea Salt, Pumice and Peach Stone granules to completely resurface and refine the skin. The addition of shea butter helps to replenish lost moisture and restore skin back to its silky smooth self.
My Experience with Dirty Works Glow Girl Buttery Salt Scrub:
The packaging is the cutest one that I have seen in a while. The pastel candy shades on the tub feel really adorable and give that retro feel. No doubt, tub packaging is not the most hygienic thing, but considering the texture and consistency of the scrub, there is no other option. It is a 300 ml pack, so it is not at all travel friendly, but it is a plastic tub so if you are eager, you can carry it along.
The buttery salt scrub is perfectly named, taking into account the texture and consistency of the product. To me, it is like a moderately thick lotion with lots of heavy-duty scrubbing granules in it. The best feature, other than the subtle butter-fragrance, is that the granules do not melt on wet/damp skin. You can rub on as long as you want to reap the benefits of scrubbing. I quite like this type of heavy-duty scrubbing which exfoliate the skin without scratching the body.
Coming to the effectiveness of the product, it is NOT a gentle every day scrub. I use it once a week to deeply exfoliate my skin and get rid of the last bit of dead skin. Post-shower, my skin doesn’t feel stretchy, but it is not hydrated either. For normal to dry skin types, applying a lotion afterwards is recommended. The fragrance demands a special mention as it is ly "yummy.” Due to the super gritty texture, a little goes a long way, hence the pricing and quantity is justified.
Pros of Dirty Works Glow Girl Buttery Salt Scrub:
- Lovely packaging.
- Heavy-duty scrubbing.
- Skin feels super clean.
- Lovely fragrance.
- Skin doesn’t feel stretchy.
- Just a little goes a long way.
- Not tested on animals.
Cons of Dirty Works Glow Girl Buttery Salt Scrub:

Review: Dirty Works Buttery Salt Scrub
Dirty Works Glow Girl Buttery Salt Scrub - RRP $9
I am in love with this product. I first found it a couple weeks ago while shopping at my local grocery store and since it was dirt cheap and I was in the market for a body scrub, how in the world could I pass it up?
First and foremost is the lack of fragrance. Despite that fact that parfum is a listed ingredient, there is no scent to this body scrub other than just smelling clean. (perhaps is "clean" is a scent?!) I do not like my scrubs to be fragranced because I find that it tends to linger on my skin after washing off, and inevitably interferes with the fragrance of my body butters. And added fragrances tend to upset the balance of my skin as well. This scrub is just perfect.
The consistency is similar to yogurt, and the actual scrub granules are not harsh at all. It's not gentle enough for the face however, so avoid that.
As you wash it off, your skin feels buttery soft and smooth and perfectly primed for your favourite moisturiser - or, if you're like me: self tanner.
This is an ly brilliant body scrub and if you're in the market to try out something new, put this one on your list to try out.
