In Essence Detox Body Polish

So far I've managed to keep my pre-Christmas sale purchase a secret from everyone, including my closest beauty friends. Patience is a virtue, my friends!

Since Glossqueen is the most persistent of them all, this review is dedicated to her. I'd also like to thank her for inspiring me to include the ingredients list.

In Essence Detox Body Polish

It smells exotic in it's container. Upon application: the minty smell permeates the shower room, uplifting my feeling while clearing up my sinuses as an added bonus. It does a very good job polishing my skin. The scrub melts away as a milky white liquid when in contact with water, leaving my skin pleasantly smooth. It doesn't dry my skin and doesn't leave an oily muck like other moisturising scrubs I've used.

For daily exfoliation, use this body scrub on damp skin. For weekly deep cleansing: apply on dry skin before washing in the shower.

Verdict: 5 star body polish. Very musical (= highly recommended).

P.S. My copyrighted topic of the week is peppermint. So I'll be reviewing other pepperminty products and posting pepperminty recipes in the next few days. What about Italy? Well, since my skin is nice and smooth now, I'll be talking about smooth leather coats to complement my look. Which brings me to Florence...
