[ Review ] Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub

 

Product Description

Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub is a skin-renewing body scrub that offers a luxurious exfoliating experience, combining the power of natural Dead Sea salt granules with a nourishing blend of Vitamin E, Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Borage Oil. It gently buffs away dead skin cells and impurities, while deeply moisturizing and conditioning the skin.

How to Use

Recommended for use on clean, moist skin
Mix a little, take a handful, and massage thoroughly in circular motions; rinse well
Suitable for all skin types

I purchased a 60g of the Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub during a sale for a very good price as my previous experience with Sabon Patchouli Lavender Vanilla Body Scrub has been great. 

Housed in a charming glass jar with a metal cap and rustic brown paper detailing, the Sabon Green Rose Body Scrub makes a lovely first impression. The scent is uplifting yet calming which is ideal for winding down after a long, hectic day and carving out a little me-time.

Free from parabens and mineral oils, this scrub is more than just pretty packaging. It effectively smoothens and softens the skin, leaving it silky, supple, and refreshed.

The Dead Sea salt granules offer a satisfying exfoliation that buffs away dead skin cells, though the texture may feel a bit too abrasive for sensitive skin types. Personally, I found the grains fine enough not to be an issue, but it’s something to keep in mind if your skin leans delicate.

All in all, it's a sensory, spa-like treat that delivers both results and relaxation.

[ Review ] Cle De Peau Hydro-Softening Lotion

 

Product Description

Cle De Peau Hydro-Softening Lotion is an essence lotion that increases skin’s resistance to dryness by locking in a surplus of enriched nutrients and moisture. While actively improving roughness and dryness, skin‘s water-retention capacity is increased, leading to strengthened skin.

I received 2 x 30ml travel sized of Cle De Peau Hydro-Softening Lotion, together with other travel-sized skincare products in a goodie bag from my participation in the Frasers Tower Vertical Challenge 2024 (39 floors, 1256 steps). 

This marks my first foray into Clé de Peau Beauté, a luxury Japanese skincare and makeup brand under the Shiseido group. Known for its fusion of cutting-edge science and refined elegance, Clé de Peau is all about elevating skin to its most radiant state. The brand places strong emphasis on skin intelligence, hydration, and luminosity which are often reflected in its luxe textures, premium ingredients, and exquisite packaging.

In this review, I’ll be sharing my experience with one of their best-selling skincare staplesthe Hydro-Softening Lotion. Does it live up to the brand’s promise of plump, glowing skin? Let’s find out.
