Scrubs reviews photo price

Vasilisa Naumenko, beauty editor:

– Body scrubs should be in every woman’s arsenal, especially in summer. If you are going to sunbathe, it is imperative to exfoliate the skin, and do not forget that scrubs make the skin of the body smoother. The Erborian brand has been living on my cosmetic shelves for over a year and has won the trust of its care tonal means.

Appearance: scrubs look wonderful in transparent glass jars, but, unfortunately, it is inconvenient to get the scrub with wet hands, there is a risk of splattering the entire bottle.

Expectations: sunflower oil, walnut shells, shea butter, magnolia and lemon oil are a delicious proposition.

Reality: the creamy texture and pleasant smell of the scrub evoke positive emotions. Mechanical exfoliation of small walnut shells gently removes dead skin cells. Despite the fact that there is a lot of oil in the scrub, there is no film on the body. The skin after showering is soft and delicate. A large can and a small amount of scrub promise to stay in my bathroom for a long time.

Nastya Obukhova, editor of the Fashion and Shopping section:

– The Clarins brand has come across to me more than once during the testing of the edition, so I know a lot about it. Most of her products suited me perfectly, there were, however, not very successful experiences. Fortunately, the Tonic Toning Scrub is not one of them.

Appearance: the product is placed in a large, heavy yellow plastic jar. Such a container is extremely convenient: it does not slip in the hands, and there is no risk of breaking it right in the bathroom. The scrub itself has a sorbet structure, with granules of salt and sugar. It smells insanely good with oils – just what I love most about body care products.

Expectations: the scrub contains essential oils of rosemary, rosewood and mint, as well as crystals of salt and sugar. Such a “cocktail” should have the most fruitful effect on the skin. The manufacturer claims that the skin after using the product will become smooth and tender, and impurities and dead cells are literally erased from the skin. In addition, the oils are designed to stimulate circulation and refresh.

Reality: Of all the scrubs, this one is probably the best I’ve tried. It really exfoliates and tones well. And it also perfectly moisturizes, although such an action is not stated in the description. After the shower, the impression remains that I have been to a spa procedure. The skin becomes very soft to the touch – after such a peeling, the tan will definitely lie perfectly even! At the same time, the tool acts very gently, does not scratch or damage the skin. No pain, except for a slight tingling from the salt. I dream that Tonic never ends, and when it does happen, I will definitely buy a new can.

Nastya Obukhova, editor of the Fashion and Shopping section:

– I was not familiar with the Acorelle brand before testing the scrub, but it turned out that this brand specializes in organic and natural cosmetics, which, of course, made me very happy.

Appearance: it is easy to confuse the product with shower gel, as it is enclosed in an ordinary translucent tube. It is comfortable to hold in your hands. And the lid of the product turned out to be surprisingly pliable – no hassle to use. The scrub turned out to be very liquid, almost like water, but it did not pour out of the tube and generally behaved extremely well. Very similar in texture to a liquid shower gel, with frequent splashes of exfoliating particles. In principle, it can be used instead of a gel – it washes well.

Expectations: according to the creators of this product, the scrub refreshes, tones, removes dead cells and eliminates unevenness. All this thanks to the natural powder of apricot and olive pits. The moisturizing and tonic effect is achieved due to the presence of aloe leaf juice and lemon essential oil in the composition of the product, respectively. After use, the skin should feel soft and supple.

Reality: the scrub was too rough for me. The so-called powder somehow rubbed unpleasantly over the skin. True, such a massage is considered useful in the prevention of cellulite, so I resigned myself. The aroma is very pleasant! The manufacturer said that it smells of linden honey – and it is, very appetizing! The product contains no hint of harmful ingredients: no lauryl sulfate, no parabens. Actually, that is why it was especially pleasant to use the scrub: I like to realize that I am using only useful oils and extracts on myself. The product lathers well, so I used it instead of a shower gel – I love all-purpose products. But the effect after the shower left me indifferent: the skin, of course, was renewed, but it was not at all moisturized. Yes, and I didn’t really feel her tenderness, as, for example, after the remedy with crushed seeds and plant seeds from Decleor. Most likely, I would not buy a second bottle.

Olga Frolova, build editor:

– If you try to find information on Thermes Marins de Saint-Malo cosmetics on the Internet, then 90% of the pages will be with offers from specialized hotels. It turns out that this is no coincidence.

Thermes Marins de Saint-Malo is a family business that has grown into a premium spa hotel chain over half a century. They have their own line of cosmetics and spa treatments based on marine ingredients with an emphasis on optimizing the psycho-emotional state of the client. Well, let’s give it a try.

Appearance: regular bottle 200 ml.

Expectations: I was attracted by the composition of the product: kelp oil, sunflower oil, tocopherol, sea salt, sea clay, sucrose ester and cornflower flower water.

Reality: the most gentle scrub. Grains of sea salt first polish and massage the skin, and then gradually dissolve in the oil base. After the shower, the skin feels fantastically soft, there is no desire to use an additional moisturizer. The only thing I don’t really like is its smell of natural oils, which is discordant with the usual perfume fragrances.

Olga Frolova, build editor:

Appearance: looks like half of their bath bombs. It smells nice and not even too intense like many Lush products.

Expectations: write that “Lady Scrub” fights cellulite with fennel and ginger, soothing lavender has a balancing effect.

Reality: for those who do not read or have lost a piece of paper with instructions, I want to say right away that wetting the scrub under running water and trying to use it in the manner of soap (as I did) is a bad idea. After half a minute, he began to dissolve and flow through his fingers. I had to urgently find a bowl for him. Later I read that with this piece it was only necessary to gently massage wet skin, and, by the way, according to reviews, with this type of use, the scrub seems too tough for many. But since my scrub changed its state of aggregation, it was quite comfortable for me to use it. The scrub pleasantly cleanses the skin, I would not say that it additionally moisturizes, but it certainly does not dry out.

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

– I first got acquainted with the Dutch Therme cosmetics when I got the volcanic body scrub “Bali Island Flower” for our regular column “Wday tests”. In fact, I can say that in this case I was pleased with the price and, accordingly, the quality.

Appearance: standard 75 ml pack. The product is squeezed out of the tube like toothpaste, which is quite convenient (you don’t need to get into the package with your hands, but you can squeeze out just as much of the product as you need).

Expectations: the manufacturers promised that this product, containing orchid extract and rice milk, consists of natural ingredients, does not cause allergic reactions and will suit all skin types, even hypersensitive ones.

Reality: the product of a light pink shade with small particles foams well and perfectly exfoliates the skin. In my opinion, the particles that make up the product “scratch” a little, so the process turned out to be a little painful. However, after use, the skin becomes very soft, and despite the fact that the scrub acts quite hard, I did not notice any redness or rashes. I also want to note that I really liked the scent – light, sweet, with floral notes. In general, this is the very thing to create a summer mood!

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

– I take the procedure for cleansing the skin and removing old cells very seriously. However, it has always been a big problem for me to choose the right scrub – after using some products, various rashes and peeling appeared on my sensitive skin. I was not familiar with the Geomar brand before, but I am very glad that I got a product of this particular brand for testing.

Appearance: a modeling body scrub with sea salt and natural oils of orange, tangerine, almond and wheat germ is in a rather impressive 600 g round jar. The packaging is standard, but thanks to the bright shade of aqua, the jar fits very harmoniously into my set of products in the bathroom.

Expectations: Before using, I carefully studied the composition of the Italian product, which, according to the description, contains active substances (almond oil, vitamin E, wheat germ oil, Dead Sea salts, mandarin oil), which have a beneficial effect on all skin types. The manufacturers promised that the substances included in the formula improve blood circulation, tone up, slow down the aging process, smooth and regenerate your skin, and much more. Not that I was led, but became interested and decided to immediately try the miracle remedy on myself.

Reality: the manufacturers did not deceive, I really liked the scrub. The product has a pale blue tint, is easily distributed on the skin, and the salt particles, gradually dissolving, make the skin soft and velvety. I applied the product to clean skin, rubbed it in with gentle massaging movements, and then rinsed off the product. Already after the very first application, the effect of hydration appeared, there was no feeling of discomfort or tightness. However, the scrub has a very specific smell, which, for example, I didn’t really like. But this, as you know, is a matter of taste, especially since the smell is not intrusive, but very noticeable.

Olga Turbina, editor of the section “Sex and Relationships”:

– I don’t actually use body scrubs. I don’t even know why … There were attempts, but I never noticed the result. As part of the experiment, I decided to try again.

Appearance: the jar is ordinary, transparent – nothing special. In my opinion, it is not very convenient to extract a remedy from it. I like tubes more.

Expectations: the gel scrub with a cheerful citrus scent should perfectly renew and soften the skin thanks to micro jojoba granules and organic honey. The manufacturer advises using a scrub before going to the beach so that the tan lays down perfectly evenly.

The manufacturer also says it purchases fragrant wild honey from Ethiopia under the Fair Trade program. Experienced beekeepers at Beza Mar farm hand-collect hives from natural materials – grass, bamboo and wood – and hang them from the trees in the forest. The ripe honeycomb is selected for The Body Shop, guaranteeing the highest quality and unsurpassed nutritional properties of honey.

Reality: the product gently renews the skin, makes the skin smooth and silky. A cheerful citrus scent with natural lime and mint extracts.

Massage the scrub onto damp skin in a circular motion. Then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use 2-3 times a week. The effect will delight you.

In general, of course, I cannot say that this product is necessary for every girl. But you can pamper and diversify your care.

Olga Turbina, editor of the section “Sex and Relationships”:

– Again, I’m not a fan of body scrubs. However, this one aroused great interest in me. I didn’t regret that I chose to test it.

Appearance: externally, the scrub looks like chocolate paste. I just want to taste it. Moreover, this unreal smell. It seems that you are putting natural chocolate on your body.

The jar is ordinary, transparent, nothing special. In my opinion, it is not very convenient to extract a remedy from it. I like tubes more.

Expectations: The particles of cocoa and apricot kernels contained in the chocolate scrub should be very gentle to cleanse the skin from dirt and dead cells. In addition, they will saturate it with essential fatty acids for regeneration, provide a whole range of vitamins and provide antioxidants. Using the “Chocolate and Orange” body scrub will cheer you up, make the skin smooth and velvety, and help to cope with the manifestations of cellulite.

Main ingredients: water, olive oil, apricot kernel powder, apple extract, papaya extract, vitamin E, cocoa powder.

Reality: I really liked the scrub. After application, the skin is smooth, refreshed and smells like chocolate.

You need to apply a small amount of the scrub on damp skin, massage it, and then rinse thoroughly with water.
