Review: St. Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter Body Polish

sorry for the VERY blurry picture. it was taken on my phone.

not clear at all, but the brown things you see are oatmeal flakes

Product: St. Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter Body Polish
Price: $7.99
Size: 8oz/226 g

I was trying to look for a review on this product online, but I haven't really seen any reviews on it. Maybe they are out there and I just didn't look hard enough. lols. I've been looking for a nice body exfoliator/scrub and I thought St. Ives made one with the infamous apricot scent, but I might have been imagining that. Anyway, I just wanted to share what I thought about this product.

Review: I absolutely love this 'body polish'. It smells like shea/coco butter (well that's what it smells like to me) and it has tiny grains and oatmeal flakes in it as well.  I use this about 2-3 times a week (depending on if I remember to take it with me to the shower; I don't like sharing my shower stuff so I usually keep it in my room =\ lol).  I don't use a loofa or scrub with it so I usually use my fingers to apply it. When you first put it on your skin it's grainy but the grains sort of melt away and it becomes more sudsy (?..if that makes sense lol); then you just rinse your body like normal.  At first I was hesitant about purchasing it because of the coco butter smell, but it grew on me.  In my opinion, I feel like my skin does feel so much smoother and cleaner, but of course you would need to use some type of moisturizing body lotion along with it once you get out of the shower.

You don't have to take my word for it but I would recommend this product. This is my personal opinion and some people may not like it, but I love it.

PS: I know I said I would have a collective haul, but the picture is on my camera and I'm too lazy to upload it right now. lols
