- Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Scrub
If I am ever going to retire early, I will have to cut down my spend on skin care products. I don’t why they hold such fascination for me but they do. I am addicted to exfoliators, moisturisers, serums, gels, oils – anything that makes the skin feel cared for and comfortable. After all, I rely on it to hold me together so it’s only fair that I do my best to keep it in decent condition.
My latest find is Soap and Glory. You’ve probably known about it for years but I invested a few euro in it for the first time this week. I purchased several of the scrubs and have begun putting them through their paces. And the verdict is that I’m impressed so far.
But never mind the lid. What about the scrub itself? I didn’t think I liked sugar scrubs but I’ve changed my mind. The texture of this one in the tub is very good. I’ve like the zingy scent of the lime. It smells clean, if you know what I mean. And the sugar and macadamia oil seem to do a good job. I used it on my arms, legs, bum and boobs and it was fine everywhere but what really impressed me was the impact it had on the backs of my hands which were instantly smoothed and softened. That alone would make me purchase Soap and Glory again.
So impressed was I, in fact, that I risked using it on my face – just around the pores on the nose and chin area. It’s a bit too abrasive for the face so I am not recommending that you try it. I was very gentle with it and it didn’t do me any harm but I’ll be sticking to body applications in future.
On the cost front, this is a lot cheaper than my usual brands (Philosophy and Sanctuary). It’s just as effective in my opinion. In fact, I prefer it. Boots stock it and it is discounted at the time of writing.
