The Body Shop Shea Body Scrub Review

Hi guys!=)
So today's review is a body scrub from one of my favorite body products brand, 'The Body Shop'.



This is just the travel size that my sister got me during Christmas.
It lasted me for 2 uses and this post is more like a first impression and a review mixed together.
FYI, I'm a huge fan of 'The Body Shop' products especially their body products.
My entire body routine for now are all 'The Body Shop' products.
I'm still in search for the perfect body scrub that isn't as harsh that will literally tear my skin off.
A lot of body scrubs out there that I've tried, hurts my skin because the beads are so harsh.
But some people like the harshness because it feels like it really gets rid of the dead skin layer of your skin but for those who have sensitive skin should avoid harsh scrubs.

Anyway, let's see what it claims:
This exfoliating body scrub contains real shea butter. It lifts away dead skin cells and has a subtle, nutty scent. Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. Stimulates skin microcirculation. 

Rate: 5/10



I'm not sure if you can tell by the picture, it is a hardcore body scrub.
I'm not a fan of this body scrub unfortunately because it is pretty harsh on my skin.
I don't like scrubs that is too harsh for my skin.
My skin is pretty sensitive to scrubs and every time after using this scrub, my body looks so red and I don't like the after-feeling that it gave.
It's supposed to leave your body feeling soft and smooth, but instead of that I feel greasiness.
I know some people will say no it leaves their skin soft but to me, I feel like there's a layer of wax on my skin and I couldn't get it off even after using a body wash.
That's not soft to me, it's greasy to me.
I'm really sorry 'The Body Shop' but this one really doesn't impressed me.
I won't rush out and purchase it myself but I do recommend you guys to try it in-store and feel the texture before purchasing the full size or get the travel size to try first since the full size is pretty pricey.
But I really wanna try their jelly-like body scrubs.
I've heard good reviews on that.
