Advantages: it works, pleasant light aroma, not too harsh
Disadvantages: none
I received this for christmas and am using it along with other body shop satsuma items.
In a squeezy tube with screw lid this is currently retailing at £4.00 for 75ml and £9.00 for 200ml online at the Body Shop and claims to leave your skin soft, supple and scented.
***main ingredients** as per the bodyshop website
orange essential oil - this claims to uplift, refresh and energise our senses whilst leaving a naturally sweet aroma
satsuma juice - packed with vitamin c which is an anti oxidant and claims to help protect and nourish the skin. Whilst this also adds to the fragrance, it is the cause of the orange colour of the polish
Crushed walnut shells and loofah particles - these are the ingredients that exfoliate the skin
Honey - purchased from Zambia this is found in remote tropical forests and farmers use traditional methods to get it.
**how to use**
Although the instructions state this can be used in the shower or the bath, I wouldn't want to use this in the bath and end up sitting amongst exfoliated skin! So I only use in the shower. When the skin is completely soaked, squeeze a small amount into your hand and then massage in a circular motion, onto the parts you wish to exfoliate - i tend to concentrate more on elbows and kneeS.
*does it work?**
This is far less harsh than my usual scrub and consequently I have found I can use it daily without feeling scratchy or drying out.
It has nice tangy, orange aroma but it is not too overpowering and doesn't linger for ages afterwards - it is enough to wake me up but it doesn't detract from any perfume you might want to wear. My skin certainly feels smoother and I would say it looks in better condition - more of a natural glow than before and less tired looking skin.
Worth using regularly
Summary: But a spring into your skin
