Let me start by saying that I love scrubs. Face scrubs, body scrubs, I love using them. However, because I have used so many over the years I have become a bit picky when it comes to what I like. And I LOVE the Pink Hibiscus Body Smoother.

Right from the start when I saw the cute pink label. The smell is also a big plus, and that was before I even used it. The texture was a little jelly like making it easy to apply and spread over the skin. The granules were the right size and not only did the skin feel refreshed after use but also moisturised. The great news is that I wasn't the only one who found this to be so. The panellists also loved this product. So make sure you give yourself a treat and try it for yourself.

Pink Hibiscus Body Smoother




This product won me over at first sight with the cute pink packaging. This has a slightly runnier texture than other body exfoliators I've used but I found that this actually made it easier to apply and I didn't need to use a lot. In the pot the smell was quite strong which I think was the Patchouli, but applied to the skin the smell was lovely and did linger on my skin throughout the day. It had a perfect grainy texture that you would expect of an exfoliator. It left my skin beautiful and smooth, in summer this would be perfect to use prior to fake tanning. I would purchase it again as I loved the packaging, smell and the effect that it had on my skin. I would have to give this 5 Stars.

I have used a few other brands of body scrubs in preparation for a spray tan with little success because the exfoliating particles never seem large enough to properly remove leftover tan from my skin. My first impression of this product was that it looked quite similar to the products I've used in the past, however upon trying it out; I discovered it was very different! The product is surprisingly liquidy, so make sure you use it in the bathroom to avoid making a mess! The Pink Hibiscus Body Smoother did a fantastic job of exfoliating my skin, but the main point of difference was that it also moisturised my skin and left it feeling smooth and bikini-ready! It has a refreshing lemongrass scent that reminds me of summer. I would definitely purchase this product for myself, especially during the countdown to summer! The Pink Hibiscus Body Smoother deserves a perfect 5 Stars!

The fragrance of this scrub reminded me of a day spa .. I was very interested to try it. The application was easy as the product was not too thick and spread easily over my skin The smell was very appealing and the granules were so tiny they almost tickled when rubbed on. My skin felt very smooth and even after use. I found that it prepared my skin well for the "sunless tan lotion" I was about to apply and I had no dry patches to deal with. 4 stars.

The beautiful artwork on the container was very cute and drew me to it right away. I found that if I applied it all over my body, I had to be quick to get into the shower as when it dries, it comes off and you are left with particles of the scrub on the floor. Other than that, it feels nice to massage into your skin. This product was fairly runny I thought for a scrub, but OK to apply. The smell of the body smoother was gorgeous. You could really smell the lemongrass which I loved. My skin was silky smooth after showering and the smell stayed with me for a while. I felt very refreshed after using it. I think as a treat to myself I would buy it again. I think it is good value for money as it is a large container and would last for a while.

This scrub comes in a flat tub with a really bronzed Melanesian woman on the front. I actually liked the fact that it comes in a flat, wide mouthed tub so my hand can easily grab out handfuls of the scrub. The texture is smooth and not too runny. It has a lovely refreshing herbal smell. Great to use at the end of a long tiring day or at the start of one. I would personally prefer grainier particles rather than ground up walnut shells for exfoliation. After use my skin was smooth, moisturised and very slightly fragranced.
