Ah, Spring — the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and our melanin is poppin'. With the arrival of warm weather, we are so excited to shed the layers and show off our beautiful skin for all the world to see. To rid yourself of any dry, rough skin that may have plagued you throughout winter, hydrating body scrubs are the way to go, sis!
