A skin renewing body wash that leaves skin clean, healthy and glowing!

I am fond of this awesome, 'no frills' body wash that delivers prompt, efficient results. The creamy formulation comes perfumed with the same fragrance that is familiar throughout this range, infused with the signature sweet, fruity scent that may or may not appeal to the wider audience. I am personally not a fan of the scent, and it is the only negative point that I have focused on during my feedback on this whole range. It is slightly disappointing, especially when it comes to this body wash, because a body wash is one of the few beauty or skin care products that I actually ‘like’ to be nicely scented. The yummier the scent the more enticed I am to get into that shower and scrub all of my cares away. However, this scent just doesn’t have me racing to have a shower, because it is not a particularly attractive scent for me, and because of this I doubt that I would purchase this body wash again in the future, which is a shame as it is a rather marvelous body wash, that features loads of benefits.

Presented in a large plastic bottle with a flip top lid, this handy packaging fits perfectly into my shower recess for easy accessibility when it’s required. The wash itself is of a thick creamy consistency, however because it is not loaded with harsh chemicals and irritating sulphates, it doesn’t work up into a rich, frothy, bubbly lather, like its non-natural cousins. Because of this, I find I need to use a significant amount of product, probably the size of a 20 cent coin or even more, to sufficiently clean my whole body. I find this works much better if I apply it to my shower puff, as it helps the formulation to slightly foam and work into a slight, mild lather that efficiently cleanses my body thoroughly. The addition of natural exfoliating beads, and plant basedl exfoliating ingredients, that are completely non-abrasive, ensures that my skin is constantly super soft and smooth without having to succumb to any annoying, scratchy sensations that often accompany regular manual exfoliating products, which tend to cause my sensitive skin to become angry, inflamed and red raw. Thanks to this formulation, my skin can still advantage from the removal of dead or dulling skin cells, and unclogged pores to reveal new skin underneath, which is not only smoother, its also more even in tone, and much brighter in appearance. This leaves my body skin glowing with a new-found radiance of natural, healthy looking skin. An additional benefit is it also isn’t as susceptible to ingrown hairs along with that irritable, itchy aggravation that I experience after shaving when the hairs start growing back through and they have trouble cutting through, as the hair follicle is blocked. By targeting my skin daily with a body exfoliating product, this blockage is prevented and therefore all of the dilemmas normally associated with shaving my sensitive skin are totally diminished.

This non-drying all over body wash penetrates my skin to provide a deep pore cleanse, that adequately hydrates and nourishes, with no evidence of drying, even in those sometimes scaly area's behind the elbows and on the knees. Only producing long term results in a short space of time to unearth a completely renewed, rejuvenated body that glows pure radiance. This is the ideal solution to younger, healthier more illuminated body skin, right down to the bottom of my toes.
