If I had to pick one thing that I'd want the world to know about my beauty preferences, it'd be the fact that I'm pretty much hooked on body scrubs — and it's an admission you can find proof of all over this website. I've managed to empty a ton of scrub-filled containers over the years and I still remember the instant rush of excitement when Fenty Skin released its first body scrub a couple of years ago.

The Fenty Skin Buff Ryder Exfoliating Body Scrub (£25) is one of the brand's earlier products, launching in 2021. It features sugar, salt, and sand to exfoliate, as well as a cocktail of tropical ingredients inspired by Rihanna's home country of Barbados, like cherry, coconut oil, and pomegranate, papaya, and pineapple enzymes. Even though the fruity combination gives the scrub a delicious-smelling scent that makes you feel like you're on an island, it's not at all overpowering.

The tricky thing about scrubs is that sometimes they can be a bit too harsh and abrasive when the sugar or salt crystals are too large, though after trying this formula, I didn't have that problem. Its texture was extremely soft and nearly perfect, and it felt similar to a body polish in that it softened and conditioned my skin afterward to the point where I almost didn't feel the need to follow it with a body butter (I still did, though).

In short, any skin-care product that has Rihanna's seal of approval (or will give me the impression that I'll ever come close to having skin like hers) is a win in my book.

I've been using the body scrub in my bath time ritual for a couple of years now, so, when I saw Fenty Beauty tease an exciting upgrade, I knew I needed to check it out ASAP. The Cherry Dub Triple Action AHA Body Scrub (£29) is packed full of all the goodness featured in the original, but it's levelled up with extra AHAs and fruit enzymes to completely remove dead skin cells. Not only did the triple action scrub exfoliate my entire body from head-to-toe, the Barbados cherry extract soothed my skin, leaving me shining bright like a diamond. And because RiRi knows exactly what we need, there's even a brand-new Cherry Dub Superfine Daily Cleansing Face Scrub (£20) to use alongside it.

If you want to be the judge for yourself, the Cherry Dub Crew collection is now available to purchase at the official Fenty Beauty website.
