Comments: I found this scrub too rough for most of
my body, however it is perfect for my feet! After a very long winter
my feet really needed a pick-me-up and this scrub did the trick. It
was able to both remove dead skin and moisturize very dry skin. Tip:
When trying on your feet the bath is best...as your feet become very
slippery.

invigorated and ready to go...to work.

Comments: This scrub was again completely different
from the other two that I had tried. This one has very large grains
of salt are rounded, so it almost massages the body as you rub it
on ...never a bad thing! This scrub also contains a lot of oil, which
my skin really appreciates. Lastly this is my favorite smelling scrub…the
citrus smell is very refreshing.

Comments: Love it, love it, love it. OK I may be a
bit extreme on this one but I credit this product for turning me on
to body polishes. It has a gritty composition made up of sea salts and
green clay but its was in smooshed into a base of sunflower, glycerin
and shea butter that left your skin feeling so soft after it was worked
on by the scrub. As the directions suggested I would use the slats in
the bath and then soaking in the contents. More please.
A note for a practical tool for exfoliating is the Rocky Mountain
Loofah - it's only $3.99 and you can reuse it each day.

Comments: : Love this product too - it has the grittier
Dead Sea salt but carried in sweet almond and nut oils to leave skin
feeling so smooth after use. Smells good too.
I had this product with me when I was vacationing in the sunny south
and used it after days in the sun. It felt good - sometime would sting
if I had sunburn but left my parched skin soft and feeling moisturized.

Dead Sea Salt, Sweet Almond Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Vitamin E,

Comments: : This is the first sugar polish I tried
and although the result was that same with the slat polishes- a
pleasant scrub down with a smooth and soft afterglow, I honestly
felt it too sweet both in smell and in use. I guess my personal
challenge to "cut back on the sugar" in my day-to-day
diet is really proving itself in other areas as well! The label
denote that the product is made up of 94% certified organic ingredients
| Ingredients:
Certified organic helianthus annuus (sunflower) oil, certified
organic saccharum officinarum (sugar cane) juice, silica, aleurites
moluccana (kukui nut) and macadamia ternifolia oils, honey,
tocopherol (vitamin E), and botanical fragrance. |
