Soap and Glory: The Breakfast Scrub

Hello everyone!

If you read my previous blog post 'My 15th Birthday' you may have noticed one of my gifts was a soap and glory breakfast scrub. This was one of the things my best friend Ellie got me and I was so excited to try it! However as I was on holiday, and didn't take it with me, I only got to test it out for the first time fairly recently. However, once I tried it I was certainly not disappointed!

To begin, I thought I would show you guys the packaging.

 

 

As you can see the packaging is so pretty and just as lovely as the product! You may have noticed on the label it says 'with organic cupuacu, bio scrubs, bananas, almond & honey extracts'. I'm sure most of you will know honey is AMAZING for your skin; often a feature in face masks and scrubs. This is because honey is a natural moisturiser and is packed full of antioxidants. Organic cupuacu is especially good for dry skin as it promotes long lasting hydration, and bananas also help with the same thing. (Interesting fact I came across: the skin of bananas can be used to cure acne. Wow bananas are super foods!) Finally almonds are good for your skin as they contain vitamin E and bio scrubs is just the grainy exfoliating bits.

 

 

 

When you open the pot, you are almost immediately hit by the amazing scent it gives off! It may be slightly sickly for some people but I love it. It's so hard to describe scents but I would say it's a refreshing vanilla time of smell (does that even make sense?!..)

 

 

To use, you simply scrub the exfoliator in to wet or damp skin. I would say to keep doing this until your skin starts to feel softer (which isn't long!) Then, wash off the exfoliator and enjoy the results! I have found that this scrub leaves my skin feeling radiant and soft! I have quite oily skin so it is also good at unblocking pores and keeping spots at bay. I will defiantly be repurchasing this and I highly recommend it for all skin types. After using it I like to apply the soap and glory body lotion (there seems to be a theme running here...) on my body and the Neutrogena oil free moisturiser on my face.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post and make sure to comment if there's anything else you would like me to review!

Lots of love,
Emily xxx
