There’s something special about a body scrub. I enjoy using them but the best bit about them is how the skin on my body can feel so afterwards. From beginning to end it’s such a satisfying body product so it has to be one of my favourite products to use. So, I thought it was time for a body scrub change. I’ve decided to use So..? Sorry Not Sorry Ready Steady Scrub Body Buffer I bought a while ago direct from So…? Fragrance. Can’t remember how much I paid, but me being me, bought it during a sale so it wasn’t full price!
Why did I buy this?
I knew So…? was a fragrance range but didn’t realise it also had body products under its umbrella too! The packaging caught my attention, then the fact it was a body scrub made me want it and finally the deal breaker was the price.
What is this supposed to do?
Like any traditional body scrub, it’s designed to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth thanks to its exfoliating action and ingredients including sweet almond oil, argan oil and sunflower seed oil.
Packaging
450g of scrub comes in a plastic tub. How this looks is fun, quite youthful and eye-catching thanks to splashes of pink and purple and overall, how the label is designed. It seems to be aimed at a younger market but like anything, different people are attracted to different things regardless of age.
Fragrance
This was MADE FOR ME! This is a sweet lover’s dream without a doubt! There’s comforting and creamy vanilla in this. I keep thinking there’s a hint of floral as well but not too sure because this isn’t straight up vanilla. It’s not sickly but it is sweet. I love it, but it won’t suit everyone. This fragrance along with this packaging again confirms this is aimed at a younger market.
Texture
I’ve used a lot of body scrubs over the last few years, and this has got to be the most solid and grainiest I’ve used in a while. In the tub it looks solid. Imagine when you’ve been using Himalayan Sea Salt (the pink one) to cook with, and you’ve got to the last bit in the packaging, and it’s clumped up and solid. This is how this looks. You can see the tiny grains in it and it glistens like it’s slightly oily but does look brick hard.
In the shower/bath
I showered first before applying this scrub onto my body, making sure my skin was clean and damp. What I found was when I scooped this scrub out, it was less solid but very grainy. So, I struggled with applying the scrub at first as it went everywhere. But apply it I did, and I found there were lots of grains in this which gave an exfoliating action and feel. I did have to be careful not to be too quick or apply too much pressure because this scrub is more on the dry side, which could lead to damaging my skin. It wasn’t totally dry. There was definitely some oil in this because it had a slight slip to it, but not much.
Skin Afterwards
After I used the scrub I had a long soak in the bath. The fragrance was there which I liked and it wasn’t too strong. I felt quite relaxed and could already feel my skin benefited from using this. When I dried myself off, my skin felt smoother, it was fragranced and I could tell I had used a scrub.
Recommended?
This is a good sized, nice smelling and effective body scrub. Pre/teens would love this because it has a younger energy to it (packaging, scent etc) and it’s not too expensive. Those who love their sweet fragrances in their body products would love this too. So yes, I would recommend it. Would I purchase this for myself again? Probably not. Why? After using this and many others in the past, I now know a drier body scrub isn’t my favourite consistency. Something with more oil to it or even cream based is what I prefer, and I think is more conditioning for my skin. This is down to my personal preference rather than the quality of the product.
Available from places such as Superdrug for £8.00, currently selling for £5.99 direct from So…?Fragrance.
