Advantages: Very scrubby but moisturising and gentle Disadvantages: top of tube gets stuck inside lid
L'Occitane Crushed-Grape Polish contains pure organic grape juice and grape-seed oil. The formula gently sloughs away dead cells using fine particles of grape and walnut shell. The texture is a slippery gel with lots and lots of scrubby particles, you can massage away for hours with this! It feels very satisfying and exfoliating and the gel texture washes off without leaving a layer of oil all round the bath. After use my skin feels properly exfoliated and moisturized. The scent is like Vimto/Red wine, very fruity! Overall this is an easy to use, no fuss, no mess exfoliator that does its job well, and at just £13 this is a real bargain for what you get! My one and only problem with this product is the lid, i am now on my third tube of this and every time the squeezy cap part on the top gets stuck inside the lid but its not too much ...
As you may have noticed from my reviews, I like my bath products! At the moment I have several different products on the go - soaps, shower gels, scrubs, and I noticed that everything I'm using at the moment is quite highly fragranced. Whilst sometimes this is fine, sometimes I find that the scents of my shower gel, body lotion or perfume will clash, or other times I just want something a bit more subtle.
Wanting to use my new cherry blossom perfume, which is quite a subtle fragrance, I looked through my array of bath and shower gels for something that would be gentle enough not to overpower it. The most suitable, it seemed was my L'Occitane Shea Butter Shower Cream, which I had bought as part of a set from QVC.
Made with fairly traded Shea Butter which is made from the fruit of West African Shea trees, this shower cream combines ...
Advantages: Intensly smoothing and hydrating Disadvantages: oily and thick takes some time to sink in
I received this as a gift set with the matching soap and shower gel, all three products are beautiful, containing 15th Shea Butter, honey and apricot oil, the smell is very subtle, clean and 'treatmenty' almost like Savlon. I would recommend this body lotion for more of a home spa treatment rather than a daily body lotion, its better suited to applying after an evening bath before going to bed to wake up feeling like you've just had a weekend at a top spa. The lotion is very thick, it takes a while to sink in and leaves a sticky, oily film even hours later, normally this would completly put me off but the end result is well worth it hence why i apply before bed so that i can go to sleep and ignore the sticky feeling, your skin is left unbeleivably smooth, supple and even toned, it even makes a considerable difference to the appearance ...
