I had given the body creams a go and I decided that it was time to try a body scrub. The scrub has a nice consistency, it isn't too dry, it isn't too moist and it has a nice subtle coconut smell. However I found that when I applied it in the shower a lot of the scrub went straight down the plug hole.

I have some scars on my legs which have faded and become less raised since using the scrub. My cellulite has also become smoother. ...  Read the complete review
