I’ve always been a fan of the apricot scrubs from St Ives as they are bursting with fragrance and do the job they are designed to do! So when the body wash version of an old favourite was released I had to try it.
The bottle is generous size for the price you pay; it’s a little more expensive than others on the market but the quality of the product makes up for that. Design wise its effective, with easy to squeeze see through plastic that allows you to see where you are, and get every last drop out.
Fragrance wise, it smells as if it’s been crammed packed with punnets of fresh apricots which is amazing for a wake up shower in the mornings. All the little kernels that remain inside the gel liquid rub your skin as you exfoliate away; I squeeze it onto a shower pouffe then create a soapy lather with the apricot kernels clinging onto the pouffe happily.
It’s not too harsh that it leaves your skin red or itchy, but it’s strong enough to give you a glow, what I call squeaky clean skin. I’ve found that the thick orange gel isn’t drying either, and it actually helps to keep my skin soft. I do tend to wander when it comes to shower gels and body scrubs/washes so I’m not loyal to the brand but I do know that if I need that bit of a pickup then St Ives is the best place to start, or if it’s on offer at the local supermarket it makes its way into the trolley.
If i could write a review that was a million word's long on how amazing this is, i totally would. Cause that's the bottom line!
If the smell isn't enough (i would totally eat it if i could), the exfoliating properties of it will make you float up to cloud nine after touching your skin!!
I tend to get quite dry under arm's also, from shaving, and this is so gentle yet so effective at helping remove it.
This is a simple review, cause quite simply it's just that good!
Tips: Pair this with exfoliating gloves and when you apply that fake tan there will be NO dry areas for the fake tan to cling to!
