a nice thick scrub



Product expereince:
This scrub uses brown sugar as an exfoliant. That way there is no chance of over exfoliating with the sugar scrub because sugar dissolves with water. The scrub has a thick dark brown consistency. When you first put it on and massage your face the sugar is on the sharp side and but the sugar dissolves rather quickly and your left with the cleanser and a sweet scent that washes off cleanly.

Pros:
A natural product.
The sugar in the the scrub prevents over exfoliating.
A nice sweet smelling scent

Cons:
The sugar granules can be sharp.
Can cause break outs.
Can only be purchased at skin food store or online at imomoko.com, sasa.com, yesstyle.com etc
Expensive I think for a full size it cost $16.95 a 100 g tub

Initially I liked this product, it has a nice thick consistency made me feel that it is very hydrating. I liked that I sugar granules dissolve in time and I did not end up over scrubbing my skin. I think the consistency of the scrub is great but it broke me out so I can't fully recommend this product.
