My Experience: For me, summers mean sandals and flip flops and dull tired looking feet are a huge no-no in this scenario. This scrub came as a boon really in this case.

The heady vanilla scent of this scrub always makes me feel like I’m in some bakery heaven since it smells just so delicious. Using this scrub feels like doing a foot spa at home. It’s gritty in texture due to walnut shell granules present but it’s not harsh. It’s very creamy and even after the first use, my feet felt softer than before. A coin size amount is enough to cover both feet for single use which means this tub will last for a while.

With regular use of Hartley  Walnut Vanilla Scrub, my feet have become so much softer than before. The dryness is gone, my nails appear shinier and there is no pigmentation left. I can now confidently flaunt those sandals without being conscious of my feet.

It’s a mild scrub that gently removes the dead skin cells to reveal the soft skin beneath. It’s perfect for people who like me love wearing sandals and flip flops.

Packaging: I’m a huge fan of its packaging. It comes in a glass tub with a black lid and an extra safely lid. The tub is made of thick glass and looks really luxurious. This lip scrub by Nature’s Touch will enhance anyone’s vanity table.

Smell: It has a slightly floral fragrance.

My Experience: I’m a huge fan of lipsticks hence a lip scrub is a must have in my vanity. I have been using this scrub for four weeks now and I have seen noteworthy results from it. It’s a powdery scrub light yellow in colour with sugar granules present. The scrub can be used on wet lips directly or you can make a paste of it using rose water and apply that. I prefer using it directly and it works just as well. It’s not at all harsh on the lips, nor makes them excessively dry. It mildly exfoliates and removes all the dead skin leaving behind soft and smooth skin.

I used it thrice a week and saw that my pigmentation was getting reduced as a result. It can never be completely removed in my case since I have pigmented lips but it helped make it more even and lightened it to a good extent as well. It prevented further darkening of the lips due to excessive use of lipsticks and for which I’m really grateful. The results are visible from the first use itself.

Pros:

• Stunning packaging which makes it a very beautiful product to own (I’m a sucker for beautiful glass packaging)
• A large quantity since only a pinch of product is used each time
• Mild on the lips
• Helps lighten lip pigmentation as it claims
• Gently exfoliates and removes all the dead skin cells without making the lips dry
• Perfect to be used before applying lipsticks
• Eco-friendly packaging which means once the scrub is over you can use this beautiful bottle to store anything else.

Cons:

• It’s costly for a lip scrub

Will I Repurchase: I won’t repurchase until I have finished it completely and this huge tub will last me for a long while.

Do I Recommend: Yes, if you have lip pigmentation like me, or use lipsticks regularly then a lip scrub is a must-have item and this does a great job of lightening lips and keeping them soft.

Overall: 4/5. It’s a good lip scrub and different from the others I have tried so far since first of all its powdered form sets it apart from others. Its quantity and quality are unmistakably good. It effectively lightens the lips with regular use and makes for a great companion to be used under lipsticks. Considering all these I think this scrub is definitely worth a try.

• It improves Skin Texture: Dead skin cells don’t always shed evenly hence it’s common to have uneven skin. Regular scrubbing helps to get rid of it and reveal the soft skin underneath.
• Prevents Body Acne: Just like on the face, body scrubs clear away the dead skin and dirt that can clog pores and cause body acne.
• Post-Tan Treatment: Constant exposure to the sun can lead to the tanning of the skin. The tanned uneven coloured skin can be avoided by regular scrubbing.
• Helps Prevent Cellulite: One amazing advantage of body scrub treatments many people don’t know about is that they may prevent cellulite. The uneven appearance of cellulite results from fat expanding and pushing up to the skin’s surface. An exfoliating body scrub, especially one that’s coupled with a massage, stimulates the circulation of the blood and lymph vessels, prevents this from happening, maintaining and nourishing the system intended to prevent this from happening in the first place.

Now that you know why a body scrub is important, read on more to find out about a gentle detoxifying scrub.

Packaging:  It comes in a huge plastic tub with a black lid.

Smell: The only con of this scrub is the fragrance. It has a very weird fragrance which to me slightly smells like green tea glue if such a thing existed. Thankfully the fragrance is mild and doesn’t last so it’s not too much of a bother. I talked to the brand about it and they said they are working on improving it. It increased my respect for them as they took criticism seriously and decided to work upon it.

My Experience:  I love using body scrubs they are one of my favourite things to pamper myself with. I have used a lot of scrubs and this is one of the gentlest scrubs I have used.

They are not completely gone but they have lightened considerably and since I have started using it no new ones have developed for which I’m really thankful. It doesn’t dry out the skin. It is hands down one of the most gentle scrubs I have ever used since it feels like an exfoliating body wash more rather than a scrub.

Pros:

• Easily available
• Huge quantity
• Gentle on the skin
• Works on fading scars
• Helps in controlling body acne
• Mild and effective

Cons:

• It smells weird

Overall summary: Chinese Tea Leaf Body Detox Scrub is one of its kind. The scrub gently exfoliates the skin to reveal the smooth skin underneath. It helps in fighting body acne, lighten the scars and remove tan.

Will I Repurchase? If they come up with the improved fragrance then I will consider repurchasing it.

Do I Recommend? Yes, it’s a great scrub for summers especially if you suffer from body acne, uneven skin, or tanned skin. This scrub will make a great addition in your bathroom shelf.

• It helps in brightening the skin
• It removes tan
• It doesn’t dry out the skin
• It vegan
• It’s not tested on animals
• It’s a hypo-allergenic Ayurveda product

Cons:

• Need to massage it for 15-20 mins

Overall: Overall as always Greenberry organics didn’t disappoint me. The product did what it claimed and I can say that for a fact because I made my bother try it as well after a lot of coercing on my part. He is someone who forgets sunscreen more often than not and so his tan was deeper than mine.
After he used it once my mother who didn’t know he had used anything said. His skin was brighter today. So I can safely say it brightens your skin.
I’m planning on making him try it out for a bit longer to see how long it takes for the tan to completely fade away.
Wish me luck!
Will I repurchase: Yes!
Do I recommend: Most certainly. A D-Tan scrub is a must in summers and if you are looking for one that actually works than your search ends at Greenberry organics.

• Apple Cider vinegar Body scrub and polish- It has a very faint smell as well which is pleasant.

Shelf life: 36 months from the date of manufacturing
My experience: I personally enjoy using scurbs a lot. I usually scrub twice or thrice a week depending upon my activities. A scurb makes the bath an experience in itself. You feel rejuvenated, clean and fresh after the scrub. These amazing scrubs from fabeya are my current favourite and I love how well they work.

• Sandalwood Face and body scrub- This has to be my favourite scrub. Partially because I love the fragrance of sandalwood but also because I love how mild and effective this scrub is. It gently cleanses and removes all dirt and grime. It makes my skin soft and doesn’t dry it out at all. It has small beads which aren’t rough on the skin.
• 
• Apple Cider vinegar Gel- You can either use this gel as a wash off or leave on. Apple Cider vinegar has some amazing properties which are really good for your skin. I tried it as wash off first and my skin felt so smooth after removing it. It kept it on for 5 mins after I had a bath and then washed it off. It’s a little sticky when applied but it dries down well.
• 
• Apple Cider vinegar Body scrub and polish- This makes my skin glow. As a body polish and scrub I love how satiny soft my skin feels after this scrub. These soft mild beads gently cleanses and polish my skin. It doesn’t dry out my skin, and the small beads scrub away the dead skin to leave a polished glow behind. This is the one I reach out for when I’m planning on going out.

Overall : 4.5/5. I love how well these scrubs work for me. All natural and free from all harmful chemicals these scrubs have made a special place for themselves in my bathing routine. I love using them and enjoy how soft, smooth and clean my skin feels after using them.
