Soap & Glory 'The Breakfast Scrub' review

I know I'm doing a lot of S&G reviews, but I've just been rediscovering the bag set I received for Christmas 2010! This review is going to be on 'The Breakfast Scrub', which is a gorgeous oat, Shea butter and sugar body smoother.

It contains organic cupuacu bio scrubs, bananas, almond and honey extracts. I love the smell, but it took me a while to get used to. It smells like maple (even the lid says so!) yummy! Again, the gorgeous pink packaging pulls me in... super cute!

I'm in love with this! I only use a small dollop, as I find a little goes a long way when it comes to this exfoliator! It's helped to smooth some of the bumpiness on my upper arms, which I'm so glad about! It leaves a little scent on my body, and I really like it, it's not too overpowering! It's a brilliant exfoliator and if I'm honest, it looks and smells good enough to eat (best not to do that though, hahaha!) It retails for £9.50 from Boots, so worth it.

Soap & Glory have amazed me yet again! I highly recommend this product if you have some bumpiness to get rid of, or if you just want good-enough-to-eat smelling skin! Mmmnn!

Soap & Glory 'Flake Away' Body Polish review

Dry, flaky skin? This could be the product for you!

 

I've been using this body polish a good bit lately, and I really like it so far. The product is a Shea Butter, sugar and peach seed powder spa body polish, and it also contains sea salt, grapeseed and almond oils. It smells really nice, I can't describe it, but I like it! I don't use it on my face, as I find it too harsh to use there. I love using it before I do a foot spa, it really gets rid of the dead skin (gross, I know!!) Like most women, I have some cellulite on my thighs... this has definitely helped to tighten the skin, which I wasn't expecting, but of course, I was so pleased to see! When I 'polish' my body with it, I find it really relaxing and the little grains make a brilliant exfoliator. 

As I've mentioned in a previous post, I have psoriasis, which means I can get dry flaky patches on my body when I'm stressed. I was worried this body polish would be too abrasive, but I used a light touch and it was fine, the flakiness was mostly gone, and I moisturised with the Soap & Glory 'The Righteous Butter' body butter (full review here). When you use this body polish, make sure you rinse it REALLY well. When I used it first, I rinsed it off, but my skin still felt quite greasy, so I had to hop back into the shower to rinse again!

There is a downside to the product, though... When I use it in the shower, I find it leaves the shower tray a little 'greasy' and quite slippery. Nothing a good scrub can't fix, but just be a little careful when using this in the shower/bath.

It retails at £7.00 in Boots, and it's worth it. Overall, I would recommend it if you want smooth skin and legs to die for!
