Rub-a-dub, a favorite summer scrub!


Hey everyone, Gina here, and I couldn’t be MORE excited that summer is now officially here! While the beautiful sunshine is something I adore and can't get enough of, my summer agenda leaves my skin in need of a healthy balanced product to help rejuvenate it.  After being subjected to sun rays, frequently bare feet, pool chemicals, and more, my skin is crying for a breath of fresh air by the time my nightly shower rolls around.  This is where my all time favorite body scrub comes into play.  Bath and Body Works offers a line of Aromatherapy Stress Relief products, and their Eucalyptus Spearmint Smoothing Body Scrub is by far the best in my book.

 When lathering it on in the shower, I can feel the moisturizing oils and vitamin E in the creamy base soaking into my skin while sugar crystals and tiny natural walnut shell pieces pumice away dry or dead skin.  The texture goes from a thick cream when coming out of the bottle to a weightless foam within seconds of scrubbing, and a little bit goes a LONG way! My favorite part about this product is the scent.  The relaxing eucalyptus and spearmint oils are designed to cleanse your mind and improve concentration.  For me I find myself relaxing within my first few breaths of the light airy aroma. As it pairs with the steam of a hot shower, it expands my air passageways and sets my mind free and at ease.  Being someone constantly on the go, I like to spend my night shower time decompressing and escaping from the stresses of the past day. This body scrub takes a weight off of my shoulders when it steals away the stressful thoughts of the day and sets my mind into relax mode.

Getting out of the shower my skin feels soft and clean.  There is no thick sheen of product left on my skin leaving it heavy and oily, and there are no dried out spots where dead skin has been left behind, these two benefits combine to make the perfect combination of a scrub.  The smell lingers on your skin, bringing along the relaxing scent of eucalyptus and spearmint in a discrete way without being overpowering. For a fresh breath of relaxation, I HIGHLY recommend this product! It will leave your skin beautiful with a smoothness that lasts throughout the whole day. Leave the dry and bumpy to the beach sand; don’t get caught with rough summer skin!
