No 7 Cleansing Body Polish

I buy lots of Boots no 7 products and always seem to be given free gifts; so many in fact that the number of samples I get make a whole "big" product, so i have plenty of opportunities to test them and if I like them buy more and get more free samples. Great marketing on the part of Boots!
This one promises that after a few uses, my skin will gleam. The gentle exfoliators are ok to use every day and dull cells will be smoothed away to reveal brighter younger skin underneath. If only the claims were true...

PRODUCT AND PACKAGING...

I am of course commenting on my very small 25ml tube, but the full size one is almost the same, only a bit ( a lot) bigger. The tube is a kind of peachy pinky colour with instructions and promises all fitting on the small back- a miracle! It's easily opened with a screw on/off lid, and once i get this opened, i can test the product.

There is of course one of those irritating little bits of plastic to peel off the top before I get to the product, but once there i am able to squeeze some out. The product itself is clear with a very faint floral smell but nothing over powering and nothing that lasts once you have done your scrubbing. The exfoliating bits are tiny and although I can feel them when I rub them into my skin, they are so small and gentle that they do no damage - no red raw skin for me! They do however do a good enough job of removing dead skin, so i can feel all clean without any soreness.

HOW TO USE IT...

I find this is best used in the shower because if used in the bath, there are definitely small exfoliating bits to contend with- far better to just shower them away. Simply squeeze a small amount of the product onto your hand and work it into your skin in small circles. Rinse and dry. Very very simple, especially for one who hates prolonged beauty regimes.

WARNINGS...
As ever, there have to be warnings, and these are fairly simple- don't use on irritated or damaged skin and don't get it into your eyes. In fact, i would suggest not to use it on your face, because it is a body polish and in the realms of beauty speak I think face and body are different

PRICE AND AVAILABILITY

Costing £8.60 for 100ml this is available in store or at www.boots.com

VERDICT...
I have found this product to be a really good exfoliator. It is easy to use and gentle on the skin. After use my skin feels soft and clean but thankfully not sore. It is especially good before holidays when I frantically try to get rid of all that dry skin!! The only thing I would advise is not to use it too often as it can be quite drying as it scrubs away the dead cells. I tend to find that once a week is sufficient.

I will be buying the full product version when i have worked my way through all the samples, and would recommend this product to anyone who wants a gentle exfoliator.

Thanks for reading.
