Advantages: It's a top quality product that does what it promises.

Disadvantages: If you don't use this product properly a lot of it will end up down the plug hole.

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. If you want to make the most of the product then I'd advise you to put it on before you enter the bath / shower, because if it's not rubbed in, as soon as it hits water it will slide down the plug hole in much the same was as an ordinary shower gel would.

The packaging in a standard plastic, recycled tub, it looks quite nice on the bathroom shelf but isn't anything to write home about.


There are lots of cheaper body scrubs available on the market, but when you use this one it feel like a real treat. It is made out of natural, high quality products and you can tell. I usually only use it before I shave my legs, it's a good for exfoliation and gets rid of all the dead skin cell so that you can make your legs silky smooth. I then use a body butter once I am dry to lock the scent in and to remain silky soft.

Personally I like this product a lot, but it isn't something I would use on a daily basis because it's quite time consuming to apply properly. However it is the best body scrub I've used (by far) and I'd definitely recommend it. I also think treat you couldn't go wrong purchasing this as a pamper gift for a loved one.

Summary: A great buy, a great scrub... the perfect pamper treat!
