Yes, it's true - I tasted it hahaha. It didn't taste all that bad but it felt brilliant on my face ;)
The biggest thing I love about this product (aside from smelling INCREDIBLE), is that you can use it as both a scrub and a mask - so you're getting two products in one. I used it as both and didn't have a preference over either uses. They were both amazing.
The exfoliating beads are really small so they're quite gentle on your skin, which I liked. It was comfortable to exfoliate with and to use as a mask and my skin felt super clean and refreshed after using this for both purposes.
As I got this as a sample, I can't comment on the packaging but the sample was a really generous size and because I loved the way this felt on my skin and the way it smelled - I will purchase this and use it as part of my everyday skin care.
It is a little expensive BUT you are supporting a NZ business (which is awesome), and one that uses natural, high quality ingredients. I also love that Oasis support WSPA as I am an animal advocate and think it's awesome they are too.
How has Oasis been around for so long without them appearing on my skincare loving radar? I really have OngTheFarmer to thank for putting them in the spotlight. So far I've tried a number of their products and loved them - and Oasis' Fruit Smoothie is no exception.
The packaging is similar to other Oasis products, a pump bottle, which lifts up from the bottom to ensure you get every drop of the product right to the very end (I love that!). It's simple, yet sophisticated, and looks nice sitting in my mouldering shower.
After cleansing I use two pumps for good measure before applying as an exfoliator whilst showering, then leave for two minutes while I faff about conditioning my hair, cleaning Miss 2, brushing teeth, before washing off. You know what surprised me? The scent. I expected it to be quite fruity, but it's really sweet and creamy smelling. You get the odd burst of fruit, but nothing like I would've expected. I would prefer a more fruity smelling product, but you know what? If I want to smell a fruit smoothie, I'll buy a real one. It's what happens after using the product that counts right?
Even as you wash away the remnants of the 'smoothie' you can feel your skin is softer, and when you look in the mirror post-drying off *pow*. Your skin (well, at least mine does) really does glow, and looks clearer. I also find after using it my serums and moisturiser, followed by my makeup, glide on easily.
As far as exfoliators go, this has to be the best I've ever tried. It's a little pricey, but a little product goes a long way, and you only need to use it once or twice a week. Can't recommend this enough!
