Of course, like everything I use on my skin I am picky what I choose to exfoliate with. I want to have soft, smooth skin, not look like raw meat!
Enter my new body scrub obsession from Raw Love Body.
"Our gentle & exotic scrubs are handmade with pure, natural, organic ingredients for you and your baby to soothe and relieve dry, itchy skin. Raw Love Body products are packaged in high-quality stand up pouches that are resealable, waterproof & are perfect for traveling. Our packaging is both recyclable + landfill friendly.
We use some of the most aromatic oil absolutes extracted from flowers and plants such as jasmine, rose, lavender, pure vanilla, etc.
Some of the ingredients we use are, cold pressed sweet almond oil, which is extracted from sweet almond seeds. Studies have found that its composition is somewhat similar to the natural oil found in a baby’s skin. This composition helps in protecting your skin, prevents common skin problems and keeps it youthful, radiant and healthy.
Jojoba pearls, freshly ground blanched almonds, pure organic honey and raw cacao powder are another example of the many wonderful organic ingredients used in our products. Almonds and jojoba pearls are gentle, non-abrasive and have fabulous moisturizing properties that provide a gentle yet thorough exfoliation without causing irritation or damage to the skin. Finally honey and an anti-oxidant rich raw cacao powder’s hydrating, antibacterial and healing properties provide relief and repair dry, itchy, chapped skin. Raw Love Body is just pure, gentle goodness and sealed with love for you and your loved ones."

I was really excited when they contacted me to try some of their lovely products to review. Here are my thoughts on each:
1) Beach Vacation Body Scrub - This is my favorite of the three scrubs I was sent. First of all, the blend of coconut creme, flakes and oil transports my senses to a beach on a tropical island. I am a huge fan of anything coconutty in the summertime, so this was like heaven to my nose! Then of course, you have ingredients like aloe vera, sweet almond oil and vitamin E to hydrate, nourish and heal any dry or rough patches. Plus, you can smell like a pina colada for the day, so win win in my book! :-)
Price - $38 for 8oz
Ingredients: Organic coconut palm sugar + coconut creme + coconut flakes + extra virgin coconut oil (cocos nucifera), himalayan pink sea salt (halite), aloe vera (aloe barbadensis), jojoba pearls (jojoba esters), strawberry seeds (fragaria vesca fruit seed), sweet almond oil (prunus dulcis), lime (citrus aurantifolia), Vitamin E
2) Detox Body Scrub - This scrub is the perfect assist when doing a cleanse or detox. Green tea and grapefruit help rid the body of toxins, while lavender and chamomile relax and calm the senses. The scent is a mixture of citrus and lavender, unusual, but quite soothing in my opinion.
Price - $38 for 8oz
Ingredients: Himalayan pink sea salt, poppy seeds (papaver somniferum), sweet almond oil (prunus dulcis), pumpkin enzyme (curcurbita genus), organic neem powder (azadirachta indica), chamomile flowers (matricaria chamomilla), lavender flowers (lavandula), green tea leaves + green tea extract (camellia sinensis), vetiver (vetiveria zizanoides), grapefruit (citrus paradisi), lavender (lavandula), Vitamin E.
3) Fight Cellulite Body Scrub - To the lucky women out there who were blessed to never have cellulite, I say enjoy that gift. For those of us who were not so lucky, I recommend checking out this scrub. Freshly ground organic coffee, natural ground loofah, natural volcanic pumice and organic coconut palm sugar all work to smooth out any lumps or bumps while the anti-oxidants in the blueberry seeds, grapeseed oil and orange and lemon peel powders help to reduce water retention by flushing out toxins. I haven't used this product long enough to notice significant results, but I love the way my skin feels after using this anyways.
Price - $38 for 8oz
Ingredients: Colombian fair trade organic coffee (coffea arabica), natural ground loofah (luffa aegyptiaca), natural volcanic pumice (pumex), himalayan pink sea salt (halite), organic coconut palm sugar (cocos nucifera), aloe vera (aloe barbadensis), blueberry seeds (vaccinium fruit seed), grapeseed oil (vitis vinifera), orange peel powder (citrus sinensis), lemon peel powder (citrus limonum), geranium (pelargonium graveolens), Vitamin E
My overall thoughts: I love the fact that I really don't need a moisturizer after using these scrubs. They are also extremely gentle, so even someone with really sensitive skin could use these without worrying about causing damage. I also love that none of the ingredients are refined, so that they retain all of their nutrients and benefits, and that they are carefully chosen to create the most effective and nurturing products possible. There is definitely a lot of love that went into the making of these beautiful body scrubs. I honestly can't get enough of them!
