Product Description
The gingerbread man ginger hot salt body scrub features sea salt and natural extracts to exfoliate and smooth skin, while evoking a warm sense of holiday joy.
A delicious treat that you don't eat. Designed to exfoliate and polish rough, dry skin, this "The Gingerbread Man" heat-as-you-rub therapeutic salt scrub jar is a hot salt scrub for bath or shower that aids in detoxifying while invigorating the senses with the refreshing, delicious scent of ginger. With sea salt, plankton, and kelp extract, it helps to moisturize, tone, and smooth skin. Oil-free, water-soluble, and glycerin-based. Nourish your body and your soul.
Designed as an oil-free hot sea salt body scrub, it caught my attention for being marked down at 50% off back in April this year which I supposed its because they are clearing stock since it was meant to be a Christmas-themed product. I use it mainly on wet skin as what I usually do for body scrub until I came across it on their website, mentioning that its supposed to be used on dry skin.
Packaged in a tub, the texture is thick with the top part being the liquid and the salt at the bottom layer. Initially, I tend to scoop up both parts with my palms and then massage all over my body.
Thereafter, for convenience, I decided to use a disposable spoon to mix both up in the tub before using it. It managed to stay mixed throughout my product usage.
The contents tend to get "sprayed" about whenever I scoop it up from the tub, or during my "vigorous" massage movements and since its dark brown in colour, the brown glops made my bathroom floor and walls messy, though water rinsed it off easily.
I love the whiff of ginger, the warm sensation when I massaged it on the body and the smooth feel thereafter. The beads may be a little coarse which I think may get worse if its used on dry skin. But so far so good, at least my skin did not suffer any redness while on damp skin.
Subsequently, the warm sensation gets lesser and lesser and almost non-existent when my tub of contents are almost used up to 80%.
This product scored 4 from 144 users on Makeupalley.
I wouldn't fork out the original $50 for this 652g size though. Its just too expensive for me to afford in the long term. $25 is still reasonable.
