Palmers Cocoa Butter Body Scrub

I am a sucker for a good body scrub; when I see one that takes my fancy I just pick up and buy. When I saw that Palmers were introducing a body scrub I instantly thought ''I need this in my life''. If you've ever used Palmers products you will know how gorgeous they are;  smell divine and they leave the skin feeling luxurious. Since I was a child my mum has used Palmers on my skin, 20 something years later, I am still using it til this very day. So of course it was no surprise that this product would find itself in my bathroom. Body scrubs in my opinion are an important part of my week; (without sounding gross) it's a great way to remove the dead skin from the body, rejuventing the skin and starting a fresh for the week ahead, which is exactly what I did Sunday evening.

''This unique formula contains pure Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Vitamin E and natural crushed cocoa beans which moisturize,refine and polish skin''

Before using I ensured my skin had a good dose of warm water from the shower. I find usually doing this in preparation for any body scrub ensures the scrub is able to glide properly along the skin. There is nothing worse than using a scrub on dry skin (pain). I then took a good amount of product before working well into body. The consistency of the scrub is lovely and thick, I found it not too gritty (harsh) for my skin and the smell (OMG) divine! I would suggest however if you were wishing for a more invigorating scrub, there is nothing wrong with perhaps using this product with scrub gloves. This really can give you a good scrub concentrating especially on the elbows and feet, which lets face folks, tend to get a lil 'tough' for a select few! 

After a good showering my skin felt incredible; perhaps on the verge of glowing? So silky soft and smooth. My skin also felt so much better; more alive and 'with it' (if that makes sense?).  I then of course moisturised with Palmers Cocoa Butter, which just made my skin feel that extra bit nicer. To get the most out of this body scrub, I'd be inclined to use 1 x a week, maximum 2 x a week; help to keep the skin rejuvenated and 'fresh' looking. 

Will I be purchasing again? Absolutely.
