Why is a body scrub a good body care product to use? It’s a simple, pampering and an effective product which can immediately improve the look and feel of the skin. It gets rid of dead and dry skin, smooths it out and improves the overall condition of it. Perfect step after cleaning the skin and before applying a moisturiser product. Do I love a body scrub? Yes. Do I use one often? No. Am I using one currently? Yes I am! I’m using Glow’s Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread Sugar Scrub that was a part of their December Subscription Box. What is it like?

Packaging
150g of scrub comes in a clear, plastic pot. It’s not an exciting form of packaging look wise but it’s practical, sturdy and you can see the product inside it.
How does it look?
Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread Sugar Scrub is a cute shade of soft pink. It looks rich and decadent, not totally smooth because there’s tiny sugar particles in it. It looks almost solid but it isn’t. Firm but soft.

Fragrance
I experienced this fragrance in the Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread Bubble Bar and this is exactly the same scent. Spicy in a cinnamon warming type of way, with a hint of cooling, fresh mint with a slight bakery smell. I had my doubts whether this fragrance would work because there’s a lot going on but the more I smell it the more I love it!
On the skin
I used a fingertip of scrub on each body part. I made sure my skin was damp, and this rubbed over my skin like a dream. This almost melted while applying it. It became softer and created what I call a little ‘froth’ on the skin. I could feel the sugar in it because the sugar particles were the perfect size. Not too small where they wouldn’t do anything and not too big that they didn’t exfoliate. I could feel the exfoliating action and didn’t need to apply too much pressure. Easy to rinse off the skin. Using this while in the bath turned the water cloudy in an almost milk bath treatment way.
The fragrance of this is TO DIE FOR! This really made my bathroom smell good and I enjoyed using this product, not only because of the texture but because of the fragrance too.
My skin after using this, when dry, was incredibly soft and smooth. I noticed this while applying body lotion and also found my skin was lightly scented with the scrub’s fragrance.

Recommended?
Glow’s Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread Sugar Scrub is a beautiful body product. The fragrance is seasonal, unusual and VERY good, the consistency of this product is perfect and it does what it’s designed to do on the skin. This body scrub NEEDS to be bought so totally recommended! Fragrance is a personal choice and Spiced Cocoa Mint Gingerbread will be loved by many but not all, so there are other fragrance options to choose from. All scrubs are 150ml, cost only £3.50 each and available here.
