What it is:
A gentle dermabrasion body scrub that you apply to dry skin that smooths away dry skin to reveal a sleek new you after you wash it off in the shower.
What it claims to do:
Reveal the radiance of your skin by exfoliating the body using a natural and gentle formula that includes Corn cob extract and rice starch for smoothing away old skin, purple rice from China to diffuse environmental aggressors and shea butter for suppleness.
What it does:
Gently but firmly removes old and lifeless skin to reveal a smoother, fresher texture to your body.
Pluses:
The putty-like consistency of the paste makes it easy to apply to dry skin as it stays where you put it and the rice starch and corn cob extract are great exfoliators while still being gentle on the skin.
Minuses:
For best results it should probably be applied to dry skin and then worked in the shower but we found ourselves forgetting apply it before turning the shower on quite often.
Final word:
This will definitely be added to my beauty routine, especially with winter (and dry skin) coming. It feels like it's really working to reveal more radiant skin while still being gentle. Plus the bergamot and lemon fragrance gives it that extra fresh zing.
