Product Review | Bath & BodyWorks Sugar Scrub

As you might have guessed from my last post, I'd probably die without body wash. Okay, I wouldn't die but you get the idea! I've tried regular washes, scrubs, and oils but "sugar scrubs" are a whole new venture for me. They're basically the former three all combined into one pot of moisturizing, skin-softening goodness.

This aromatherapy sugar scrub by Bath & BodyWorks is the first of its kind that I've tried. There are a few other scents to choose from but the one I picked is "eucalyptus tea." The scent is hard to describe - it's a little earthy, a little herbal, and smells a lot like the stuff your boyfriend probably showers with. I think I liked the scent better in the store (it doesn't smell BAD, but I would like something a little more feminine), and when (if) I repurchase this I'll pick up a different one.

Apart from the scent that I chose, I think I am officially in love with sugar scrubs (sorry Josh.). This product has very large sugar granules which are in charge of some major exfoliation. I will say though, that you should  not vigorously scrub this on your skin because it can actually hurt - a light hand is best and is all that is needed to slough off any rough skin. The sugar granules are submerged a VERY oily substance and this is my favorite part of the whole scrub. I actually like the *almost* greasy feel that this product has and leaves on the skin. The shower rinses off any of the actual oil and you are left with moisturized, touchable skin.

When using this, the sugar granules are mainly what you want to scoop out otherwise you'll get a handful of the oil and it will be running through your fingertips and dripping all over the shower. The oil is in there to coat the sugar for added hydrating benefits, however, if like me you like that oily feel then by all means go to town with it!

This is best left in the shower after first use because the packaging gets really slippery. I would definitely repurchase this but I want to try more kinds of sugar scrubs first! I just saw that Burts Bees makes one - probably going to pick that one up next!
