Sunday Product Review: Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub

Oh hey, a new thing! As part of my attempt to expand into other areas and show off my writing skills, I'm going to be posting skin and beauty product reviews every Sunday!

Soap & Glory, Sugar Crush Body Scrub

I had been eyeing up this product ever since my friend had gotten me to smell it at the shop, but couldn't really afford it, so when my friend Maya offered to give me her basically full jar when she was clearing out her stuff to move to Italy, I jumped at the chance! This product smells absolutely amazing, and I would recommend it on that basis alone, but it also does its job very well – namely, exfoliating your skin and making it hella smooth.

The sugar crush body scrub smells like a delicious combination of lime and sugar (similar to a Margarita, but with significantly less tequila), and is an excellent exfoliator, leaving your skin super soft. Now, I admit dryness isn't really a skin problem I suffer from, so I am mostly in it for the scent (and am definitely using it more than the one, two, or three times weekly they recommend on the jar) BUT it has made my skin noticeably softer, and, if I haven't mentioned it enough, it smells freaking incredible. My mum once got this tiny bottle of body wash as a birthday present from Sephora that smelt like vanilla birthday cake, and I used almost all of it in like a week because I was so in love with the scent – this is comparable to that. It is addictive.

So, if you suffer from dry skin or if you just love a good smelling shower product, check out Soap & Glory's Sugar Crush Body Scrub.
