The Aromatherapy Co DIY Body Scrub Kit is an absolutely HEAVENLY product! I purchased this for myself as I needed a new scrub, but I think I may have to go back and get some as gifts. Why am I raving about this product so much?: - The packaging - The DIY Body Scrub Kit comes in a cute box wrapped with twine, so it would make an awesome gift (hello Mothers' Day!) - In the kit you have 4 sachets of the sugar blend, a Body Scrub container with little wooden scoop to mix the scrub with, a 50ml Therapy Range Body & Bath Oil, and a natural cotton bath flannel. The scrub is incredibly easy to mix together, you just mix one of the sachets in the container and add 3 scoops of your desired bath oil. The kit comes with the wild mint and bergamont, which smells incredible, just like the perfect essential oil blend. You can also use the body and bath oil alone straight on skin (great for massages!) or add a few drops to your bath to help you relax. - The scrub is thick and sugary, you can either apply it with the provided flannel, or just straight with your fingers. Both ways work well. I found it really exfoliating and easy to massage in. - Afterwards, my skin felt amazingly soft and smooth. The essential oil component left soft traces of it on my skin, but it didn't feel heavy and oily but light and luxurious. This product is really great to use before bed, with the light scent lingering as you go to sleep.
Overall, I highly recommend this product and will definitely repurchase.
I got to try this one after receiving it as a gift for my birthday. I have issues with exfoliating my dry skin, and keeping my skin moisturised as soaps and scrubs I’ve used previously seem to dry out my skin no matter what type I use meaning I am always going through an ample supply of moisturiser. Part of my regular skincare regime requires a regular intensive all over exfoliation due to a skin condition called Keratosis Pilaris, one problem I have with having to do this so often is that the soap can dry out the skin even more and aggravate the issue further. I have to do this exfoliation ritual about three times a week to keep my skin in line. I always stand in the shower or soak in the bath for a while to wait for the surface of my skin to soften and then use the product. I have found the oils in it to be incredibly good at reducing the amount of moisturiser I need to use as a result of including this product in my regime as I'm not having to use soaps and my skin soaks in the oils and softens even more instead of drying out like it has with products I've used previously. What I love the most about this product is its naturally based products ingredient, the aromatic oils and the organic sugar mix make for a lovely treat for my skin, leaves it feeling wonderfully soft and moisturised which is great for reducing my skin issues
Tips: You can use the oils in the bath or mix it in with the sugar crystals to make your scrub, and due to the sugar crystal being in several sachets you can still do both adding just a little bit of oil to one sachet in the container, and keep the rest of the oil for use in a bath. Best of both worlds.
