I’ve known about the brand Scentsy for years. As a wax melt lover I knew they sold wax melts and other home fragrance items such as wax warmers. But body care products? That was a new revelation to me and one that got me very VERY interested in the products they sold. Fast forward the company having a sale a few months ago and me making my very first Scentsy purchase. This included their Hibiscus Pineapple Sugar Scrub. 237ml, originally priced at £14.50. I got this for under £4.00.
Why did I buy this?
I’m a sucker for bath and body products! If I was going to try out wax from Scentsy for the first time (which I did!), it made sense to try out their body products too…surely? Body scrubs I love anyway. The scent of this sounded delicious on their website, the price was affordable and I thought this was the perfect introduction to their body product range.
What is this supposed to do?
Exfoliate and moisturise the skin leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
Ingredients
Ingredients in this sugar scrub includes sugar, glycerin, sunflower seed oil, shea butter, rice bran extract, argan oil and much more.
Fragrance
The scent of this scrub is almost edible! It’s sweet, tropical fruity with a little floral thrown in there. Very energising! This isn’t a soft and unassuming fragrance although not too strong in strength. This is one of those fragrances that if you love fruit and you love sweetie inspired scents you will adore this.
Texture/Consistency
To look at this, it looks more liquid than actual scrub because it does look quite wet. When I first scooped this up it had an almost jelly like consistency. It has a wobble to it, it’s not solid nor liquid and definitely not cream like. Packed with fine sugar particles so not totally smooth and has a slight oiliness to it overall.
How To Use
Wet skin, rub into the body and then rinse off with warm water.
In Use
I filled my bath with just water. Once my skin was damp I rubbed this in. What I noticed first was the scrub didn’t slop all over the place as I thought it would. The thought of it being too runny left my mind when I started using it as it went where it needed to go. Rubbing into my skin was easy and I found myself taking time using this. The ratio of solution and sugar was perfect, and the sugar particles where the ideal size to do the work of exfoliation but not damage the skin. These slightly melted with the warmth of my skin while using it.
What I found interesting about this scrub was I thought it would be very oily. I wouldn’t say it was greasy but quite close (although not perfectly) to the feel of a dry oil. So although my skin looked shiny and felt incredibly hydrated and protected, I didn’t feel as if I was bathing in cooking oil. Very unusual texture and I loved it!
After a few minutes of rubbing in, I sat in the bath, washed it off and soaked in the residue left. It was so relaxing and the fragrance was there from beginning to end which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Skin Afterwards
Soft, soft, soft! Oh my goodness, I stroked my skin many times after using this! It didn’t look very different before using this but didn’t look dry. But it felt so smooth, so soft, so supple and left a little hint of fragrance on my body. When I say my skin felt so good after this I truly mean it! Did I mention how much I enjoyed using this product? It felt like a body treatment not just any old standard scrub.
Recommended?
Cards on the table here. I ADORED this scrub! Loved it! Enjoyed ever aspect of this. The fragrance was glorious. The texture, unusual but works so well. On the skin? It did what it needed to do and more. I would buy this again in a heart beat BUT only when priced right! Nearly £15.00 for a body product under 250ml sorry is a no no for me. Unless it treated a specific concern e.g hyperpigmentation, then I just couldn’t part with that amount of cash. On sale? I would happily buy multiples of this product and stock pile them for myself and for gifts. So thumbs up, finger and even hands from me with this!
You can buy Scenty products direct from the website. Or, if like me, you will know some consultants who work for them. So help them make a pound or two, and boost the sales for your friends or family and order through them if you want to give their scrubs a whirl! But do it at the right price…..
