Review (5/5): Helllloooo peppermint mocha!
Oh what luxury! When I opened this package I was delighted by the scent, if you're a fan of peppermint mochas (or even if you're not) it smells amazing, both comforting and refreshing. I scooped out about 2 tablespoons and applied it on my upper arms and elbows and immediately knew I loved it. I've had two experiences with body scrubs, ones that contain oils and ones that do not. I find the ones that contain oil work better because they exfoliate the skin as advertised but do so without creating redness and irritation, plus they moisturize so the end result is soft smooth skin, almost to the effect of those in-shower body moisturizers that are popular these days. Body scrubs that don't contain oil can't feel like a sandpaper and make you wonder if they're even worth using. After using this one I quickly realized it just HAD to contain oils, my skin felt SOOO moisturized! Sure enough I looked at the ingredients and it did contain various oils. Once I experienced the results I scooped out another handful and went to town on my knees and shins. I love this stuff! It creates the ultimate spa-like shower experience, plus the peppermint oil combined with the hot steam from the shower helped me breathe better which I liked...it almost felt therapeutic. My one critique is that the bag made it a bit tricky to use in the shower, so afterwards I filled a travel container with the scrub to keep in the shower, problem solved. Overall, this is a phenomenal skincare product I highly recommend. I purchased this with a discount so I could test and review, but my opinion is how I honestly feel about the product.
