'Tis the season for movie nights next to the fire, snowy shopping excursions, warm baths, hot toddys and 'tis the season for dry, itchy skin.
When I was given the opportunity to review M.B. Carey & CO.'s INGREDIENTS ultra moisturizing all natural Patchouli & Pine scrub I jumped at the chance! And reviewing one that is made with 100% natural ingredients was an extra bonus.
I was especially interested to read on the press release that "INGREDIENTS products are formulated to blend natural components including essential oils, moisturizers and exfoliants into a scrub that is both luxurious and effective. Company founder Melissa Carey created the products to soothe and improve the appearance of her own skin after a natural, 100 lb weight loss…"
The refreshing scent of Spearmint, Pine and Patchouli gave me the makings for a luxuriously natural spa experience right in my own bathroom. I was immediately drawn to the elements of nature visible right in the scrub. Spearmint leaves with their invigorating scent, Course salt with it's ability to exfoliate without the harsh chemical feel of other scrubs, and the essential oils of Pine and Patchouli all combine to make this INGREDIENTS scrub one to use every week.
Just after the first use my skin felt like it could breathe again. All the itchy, ashy, and dull skin was scrubbed away leaving me feeling soft, shiny and new. By the third use my knees, elbows and heels were softer that I ever remember and my skin had a glow to it that I haven't seen in a very long time. It just made my skin feel truly alive again.
I raved about this scrub so much that my husband was interested in giving it a try as well. After his first use he loved it, plain and simple. The smell was gender neutral enough that he still felt like "a guy" while absorbing the great cleansing and aromatherapy and that this scrub delivers.
For those of you who live to spa but don't have the time give the INGREDIENTS line of scrubs a try. It's indulgent yet completely green and natural at the same time. What a great gift for the man or woman who loves to be pampered. Leave the harsh chemical scrubs and peels under the sink and give the 100% natural INGREDIENTS scrubs a try. You won't be disappointed.
