Guide Review - The Body Shop: Cocoa Butter Body Scrub
Cocoa Butter Body Scrub by The Body Shop is one of my must-have body scrubs. In fact, it's in my shower as we speak. If you are a fan of cocoa butter products, this one will not let you down. With fine grain rice and almonds mixed with organic sugar and salt, your skin gets a great exfoliation. Jam-packed with cocoa butter and oils, your skin will feel smooth and soft.
You can use this skin on your entire body from the neck down. Take a scoop full of scrub and rub it gently in a circular motion to slough off dead skin cells and boost circulation. Exfoliate before you shave your legs, and you'll be guaranteed a smoother shave.
This exfoliator gets rave reviews. On makeupalley.com, 76 users gave this a 4.6 out of 5.0 "lippies" and 89% would purchase again. At $20 for the large tub, some people feel the price is a bit high. If you do some research however, you'll see that this falls right in the range of middle of the road body care products. You can spend less money on a scrub, but with the Community Trade (Fair Trade) ingredients, this is a feel good purchase. The Cocoa Butter comes direct from the Kuapa Kokoo company in Ghana.
