Product Description
Wonderfully fragrant and leaves your skin feeling soft and fresh! Includes eucalyptus essential oil, soy bean oil and crunchy, natural sea salt for effective exfoliation of dead skin.
I purchased Empire Australia Soothing Sea Salt Body Scrub ( Eucalyptus ) together with Empire Australia Organic Sea Salt & Coconut Oil Body Scrub on Singsale last year.
To me, body exfoliation is much needed in a shower routine for smoother skin, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, brighten skin and make it look firmer. Are you incorporating body scrubs into your routine too?
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Made in Melbourne, Australia, Empire Australia Soothing Sea Salt Body Scrub ( Eucalyptus ) is housed in a 500g tub with a subtle musty scent that hardly smells like Eucalyptus.
Being a salt-based scrub, the granules can be slightly abrasive for some.
Directions for Use :
1) Lightly dampen your skin prior to applying the scrub.
2) Massage firmly all over body paying particular attention to elbows, knees and feet.
Tip : This can be quite messy so best done in the shower.
Performance and Ingredients
Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this sea salt body scrub at all. The oils are concentrated more at the bottom and the top is drier than the bottom, leading to the initial exfoliation being "rough" and abrasive. A stir is much recommended for such scrubs to infuse both wet and dry contents.
Once you reached the bottom of the tub, the sea salt scrub would be slightly wetter and much sticky, leading to my body being sticky as well. Definitely not an experience I enjoyed.
And when the sticky granules rolled onto the bathroom floor and you happened to step on them, like I did, my soles would become extremely sticky like adhesive.
Overall, while the exfoliation left my skin soft and smooth but the latter part of the scrub left me with sticky skin as well.
INGREDIENTS: SEA SALT, SODIUM CHLORIDE, GLYCINE SOJA (SOYBEAN) OIL, EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS (EUCALYPTUS) OIL, LIMONENE, LINALOOL, CITRAL.
Conclusion
To conclude, Empire Australia Soothing Sea Salt Body Scrub ( Eucalyptus ) gave rise to smoother skin but its either abrasive or sticky, depending on which part of the tub you are using. Not something I would repurchase.
Check out all the body scrubs I have reviewed before.
For now, the best body scrubs for me would be Giovanni Hot Chocolate Sugar Scrub and Origins Smoothing Ginger Body Scrub.
