I love the smell of this body wash, though I find that the granules irritate my (very sensitive!) skin . It's definitely not for everyday use, but if you're looking for an inexpensive, delicious smelling body wash, I'd give it a go and see if it works for you.

I don't know who came up with the idea of making everything for our bodies smell good, but it was genius. All I want to do is eat after I wash, scrub, tone, moisturise!
And this one is no exception. It is delicious. I LOVE that it is an exfoliator too, there is something about using a body exfoliating wash that really makes you feel so darn cleaned up!
I have sensitive skin, so I would alternate between this and another one that didn't make my skin play up (FYI not too badly) :-)
This smells so delicious! I love opening this and taking a whiff in supermarkets. I particularly like using this during summer/spring as it is fruity and a good exfoliating scrub. Leaves skin feeling smooth and silky and it is gentle on the skin which is important for me. Always at a great price too and goes a long way.
Tips: Try some in a puff during your shower as it lathers quite nicely!
This is one of the best exfoliating body washes i've ever used and the one i usually purchase unless i'm tempted by something new, although i slightly prefer the citrus one. This body wash thoughrally gets all the dirt off of the skin and it smells so yum! It does what any fantastic exfoliating body wash should, leaves you feeling cleansed and refreshed.
I bought one of these from the supermarket for about 7 or 8 dollars, after hearing only good things about it. Firstly, as it is a 400ml bottle, it is huge! So will literally last you for ages. I am not normally one to scrub every night, so bought with the intention of using a few times a week only.
The packaging is nothing fancy, but the smell is absolutely divine (as you would expect from an apricot scrub). The texture is a gentle sugar-like scrub, but has enough grit to remove all the dirt.
The only thing that is preventing me from purchasing this again is that I had an allergic reaction to it sadly. I must have the most sensitive skin considering it is supposedly a natural product. I was so gutted that I couldn't continue to comfortably use it (I did stick it out for about 5 or 6 washes to see if my skin would adjust to the scrub), but my sister-in-law was more than happy to take mine, and has had great results from using it herself.
Tips: I personally steer clear of gritty loofahs and gloves as I believe the scrub itself has enough grit to remove all the dirt!
Also, do not use on the face, definitely a body scrub only.
This body wash is a summer bathroom staple for me. I'm a huge fake tan fan and I know the key to a great fake tan is smooth, exfoliated skin so I rely on this whenever I plan on 'fake-baking' to keep my tan looking it's best.
It has a nice fruity smell which is pretty refreshing. The exfoliating beads are a decent size to provide a gentle exfoliation but I prefer to apply it using exfoliating mitts in the shower so that I can really give areas like my legs, knees and elbows which tend to have drier skin a really good exfoliation. I normally toss up between this and another exfoliating body wash I like whenever I'm wanting one, depending on whichever is on special at the time, but I would definately repurchase and recommend as a good body wash.
Tips: Apply it using exfoliating mitts as an affordable substitute to an exfoliating body scrub.
Ive gotten one of these from paknsav when it was on sale 1.99 and i was impressed Great feeling Good clean The scrub worked perfect Made my skin feel tingly aswell felt so clean and fresh
A delicious exfoliator, the fragrance of it makes it smell good enough to eat! It does a great job of exfoliating the body, and leaves a lovely moisturised feeling afterwards. Perfect for before shaving and tanning, the tiny beads double as an exfoliator and they also offer a burst of fragrance. Sometimes I even tip some under the tap for a bubble bath when the kids get in, and they clean themselves with the bubbles. It is also very reasonably priced which is an added bonus.
I am currently using this product at the moment.
Firstly, with St Ives you know you're in good hands! Packaging is great. I love body washes that will stand upside down so you're not fighting to get product out closer to the end.
The smell is fruity and fresh, I love using this product in the morning because it makes me feel more awake and not to mention I love the smell of my skin afterwards - I find it actually lasts quite a long time on me.
The exfoliating beads work wonders on my skin. I come out of the shower feeling like a baby's bottom and I usually suffer from dry skin!
I think this is great. I love that its exfoliating which is different to my usual body wash. I've tried that similar exfoliating smoothie type stuff and didn't like that at all. This st Ives one is much better on my sensitive skin.
