Chocolate Truffle Body Scrub Polish – Crater Lake Company

It is every bit as decadent as it sounds, and then some. Made from  Peruvian Cocoa powder, pure white cane sugar, Shea butter and and natural Cocoa butter, this body scrub not only exfoliates your skin but polishes it and encourages cell-turnover. The result? Splendidly smooth skin. As someone who suffers with dry skin, I expected the norm: scrub use, radiant skin, 2 hours of hydrated skin and alas, back to dry skin. Boy was I shocked at not only how smooth and silky my skin felt, I was blown away how much moisture it retained, 24 hour later. I didn’t even lotion until the next day! Factor in a savory chocolate aroma that intoxicates the senses and you’ve got yourself some chocolately goodness. Retail 9 oz, $22.
