BODY SCRUBS THAT ROCK! BODY SCRUBS THAT ROCK!

I'm simply obsessed with these jam-like body scrubs from The Body Shop. I have to admit when it comes to body exfoliation, I'm quite a lazy girl...  I often skipped this very important step from my skincare routine but not any more! :) Take a look at these gorgeous jammy body scrubs!

The Body Shop - Blueberry Body Scrub-Gelee 200ml (LIMITED EDITION)


The Body Shop - Wild Argan Oil Rough Scrub 200ml

I've tried first the raspberry kind back in May and I fall in love with this product. Probably I don't have to say I used that one up in no time :) I found the best way to use it with bath gloves and rub it into the skin. You can also buy the gloves at The Body Shop. 

I recommened to use body scrubs because... 

(1) They leave your skin feeling softer and smoother. (ps. MUCH SOFTER!) 
(2) They remove dead skincells off your body and expose a supple layer of younger skin.
(3) They make you feel fresh and rejuvenated. 






It is recommended to exfoliate once or twice in a week. Personally I prefer to do it once in a week and it leaves my skin smooth and fresh. After exfoliating I always put a thick layer of body lotion/ body butter on my skin so I'm gonna wake up with baby skin in the next morning! 

I love these scrubs from The Body Shop because they are gentle, smell delicious and they don't leave your skin with dry feeling at all! I suggest you to check these out when you are close to your local Body Shop store --> Kringlan Shopping Center (Reykjavik-Iceland), Smaralind Shopping Center (Kopavogur-Iceland) & Gleratorg (Akureyri, North-Iceland). 


Until next time,

A 'MINI' BODY SHOP HAUL A 'MINI' BODY SHOP HAUL


As I wrote yesterday, there's been 20% OFF at The Body Shop in Kringlan so I just 'had to' visit the store and I've got some goodies I would like to share with you. 

1. Vineyard Peach Body Lotion (Limited Edition) - I'm currently using the Blueberry Body Lotion and there's  a tiny bit left at the bottom of the bottle so I really wanted to buy a new one. I bought last month the Vineyard Peach Shower Gel and it smells heavenly!!! I'm pretty sad it's a LIMITED EDITION range and it's sold out in Iceland. So that's why I got the body lotion instead. I think this bottle with the pump is very practical. I like the body lotion even more than the body butter. The texture of the lotion is more creamy and again I love that it comes with a pump. As I got to know today the body butter hydratates your skin for 24 hours and the lotion is for 12 hours. I don't have a very dry skin so especially for the summer I don't mind the difference. 

2. Blueberry Shower Gel (Limited Edition) - I've already bought this one once before and it smells amazing (like almost everything at The Body Shop, haha). I've got the Blueberry Body Lotion so it's the perfect combination. 

3. Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash (60 ml) - May be it's sound weird but I'm gonna use this product to clean my make up brushes. I've got the idea actually today from The Body Shop's UK YouTube channel that they are using this facial wash to clean make up brushes. Of course you can also use shampoo for example but I would like to give this a try. It's quite handy because you can buy travel size (like I did) so it's actually not expensive. 

HERE you can see a great video about how can you clean your brushes! :) 



4. Bath Gloves - I've never tried this one before but it says on the label 'use with shower gel on exfoliation'. Let's see how it goes :) 

5. Organic Cotton Pads - Amazing stuff! I know many people are thinking "why would I spend more money on cotton pads when I can buy much cheaper at Bonus?" but for me The Body Shop Cotton Pads are worth every extra penny. They are very soft, organic, and also I can use only one pad to remove my make up while I have to use at least 3 of the Euroshopper kind. So they last much longer. I'm using the Body Shop ones on a daily basis for removing make up,  for cleansing etc...  

As you can see I'm quite a big Body Shop fan :) 
Until next time,

Eva
