it really just looks like packed dry brown sugar
I really did not know what to expect with this scrub, and was very intrigued by the idea of using brown sugar in a scrub. Initially, when I opened the jar, it really just looks like packed dry brown sugar, like you would see when you are baking and measuring it out. The smell is pure sugar, which kind of surprised me, since it has so many different oils in it. But, like I said, it is fairly dry in the jar. It is easy to scoop out, and if you spread it between your hands before scrubbing on your body, it does moisten right up, and the sugar starts to dissolve, which would be why it is such a dry scrub. I was impressed with the soft smoothness of my skin after using the scrub, considering the sugar was dissolving, but it did work. My skin has a faint sweet aroma, but, due to the initial dryness and low oil quantity in the packaging, it did not moisturize as much as I would have liked. This would be great in the spring and summer, but for the dry Iowa winters, I think I will go with something with more oils in it. Overall, nice product, and this company has yet to disappoint!
