MY SUMMER FAVORITE# BODY ESSENTIAL

 

When it comes to my face ,I obsess about skincare and try out new products…but   for body ,once I find products I love, I keep on purchasing the same brand over and over again. I am fond of Body shop as a brand and use their body scrubs, body butters; moisturizers etc .I love the body scrub SPA WISDOM (XIMENIA & SALT SCRUB) from their  Africa line  which I  have picked up  some time  back. Initially,I was attracted to the product because of the cute and big jar and the word Spa written on the Jar. Lovelies, I am all for SPA-Cream –Glow. So when the SA allowed me to smell the product, I was totally sold. The smell seemed relaxing , fresh and spa like. The product has turned out to be even better than I anticipated and it has since been  a permanent fixture  in my shower and I restock it always.

I use this scrub on slightly damp skin for best results. The texture of the cream is super thick and rich. The salt in the cream melts away as I scrub while gently exfoliating my skin without being abrasive which is great for my sensitive skin.As I rinse off , the cream slightly lathers up leaving me well cleaned but not sand blasted. Ximenia oil in the scrub moisturizes my skin and I don’t feel the need to run for a moisturizer during summer whenever I use this product(Ximenia oil is known for its anti aging and moisturizing property  ). It works absolute wonders on my dry knees ,elbows and legs. Every weekend my skin feels pampered just like I would have felt after a spa treatment. The fragrance is so flowery,fresh and awesome…I totally de-stress in the amazing smell .Though it is a salt scrub it is suitable for use on all skin types  ,even sensitive skin.
