So the sun has got his hat on Hip Hip Hooray!!... It had to happen at some point and thankfully it has. This now means that our limbs that are usually covered up with tights and wool jumpers need to be exposed to the sunshine and other people. So I will be doing a few blogs on prep to go form hibernation to summer.
The first step of any “legs oot” routine needs to be exfoliating. I use to use the exfoliation gloves, and I still do as I think they work really well, but I have found myself reaching for scrubs and not any old scrubs, salt scrubs.
These scrubs are put on dry or damp skin and they really get the skin feeling smooth and fresh. I have been switching between a few and thought I would share them with you.
Bliss Hot Salt Scrub was an impulse purchase and my first introduction to salt scrubs. With this I would recommend standing on a towel or applying in the shower as it does get messy! Slap this all over your body before showering working it in to your skin, as you do it will all fall apart and spread along your skin (with a little encouragement). Step in the shower and it will all run off you, leaving your skin super smooth. I was really surprised at how well this worked and how silky my skin felt afterwards, as you can see from the photo this has been well used. I would definitely re purchase this product as it worked really well and the results lasted a reasonable length of time.
Nspa products are new to me, and I have mixed feelings towards them, although I do like this scrub but the packaging is so inconvenient! You almost break your fingers trying to squeeze this almost solid product out. But moving on from my package issue, the scrub is applied to damp skin, so I usually jump in the shower and quickly dash myself with water then apply this scrub all over. It’s a strange sensation, it feels almost warm when it reacts with the water on your skin, but once you wash it off your skin it left feeling really smooth and smells lovely! I don’t know if I would buy this again purely because of the packaging, this whole range is very reasonable priced so if good value outweighs the stress of breaking your own fingers, then this is the product for you.
Now, I was very late on to the Soap & Glory bandwagon. Why? I have no idea. But so far I have really enjoyed all the products I have used. One of them being the Shea Butter, Sugar And Peach Seed Body Polish. Apply to dry skin and then wash off in the shower (in case you hadn’t got that recurring theme). I thought that this was really easy to use as it spread a lot easier than the other ones I have tried and it smells like a flowers, which is always delightful! It leaves my skin feeling smooth, clean and ready for some serious pampering.
I don't have a favourite and tend to alternate between the three of these scrubs, variety is the spice of life right? It’s important to exfoliate as it removes the top layers of skin that are dead, this meaning your moisturisers actually reach where they are needed and can brighten the skin. In my opinion, a must before baring those legs and arms.
