Every winter my legs start to dry up. By February they are scaly enough to belong to a dragon and ashy flakes cover my socks. It gets so bad that it looks like I had used my socks to cover my hands while clapping the chalkboard erasers for the nuns back in grade school when I take them off in the evening.
I got a jar of Ingredients Ultra-Moisturizing Scrub in Citrus and Spice to try out and started using it last month. The first thing I noticed when I opened the jar was the smell. Every breath I took brought the smell of oranges, cloves and cinnamon wafting through my nose, helping me to feel more awake and alive during my morning shower.
The coarse grains in the scrub did a perfect job of removing the dead, dry flaky skin from my legs. After rubbing this mix all over my legs they were polished smooth. If it wasn’t for the sound of my daughter singing while using the potty in the same room I could have closed my eyes and imagined that I was in a luxurious spa.
Did I mention how soft this made my skin? And the healthy glow? Oh! My legs haven’t looked this great during the winter in years. This product is definitely a multitasker. It cleans, exfoliates and moisturizes all in one shot. No need for separate products or slathering lotion or cream all over your legs after your shower. I love anything that helps me cut a few extra minutes off my morning routine.
The product is called ultra-moisturizing and it certainly lives up to its name. Which also means that I only used it on my entire body one time. The parts of my body that tend to be on the oily side got really greasy after that particular shower. Since then I’ve stuck to using it only on my dry areas: legs, feet, elbows, hands. Remember one of the keys to beautiful skin is to use the right type of product for your skin type, even if that means using different products on different parts of your body.
I also love the fact that Ingredients Ultra-Moisturizing Scrub is 100% natural. I am pregnant so right now I’m being a little more careful not only about what I put in my body but also about what I put on my body. With this scrub I know exactly what the ingredients are without having to consult Google or my college Chemistry text book. The tub of scrub says, “…” It doesn’t get much more natural and basic than this product.
Ingredients Ultra-Moisturizing Scrub comes in 3 varieties: Citrus and Spice, Lavender/Mint & Patchouli/Pine. These scrubs are available at select prestige retail locations, spas and various homeopathic venues, or through the company website.
About Melissa
That sounds VERY tempting to me!
I just bought some Soap & Glory body scrub (Target) but I’m gonna try this next. I love that it’s moisturizing and natural.
Oh, I have not tried the Soap & Glory one yet. I don’t know if it’s great or not. It smells good.
Sounds awesome to me! Looks good enough to eat, too. Are those Craisins in there? (Kidding!)
I accidentally got a little in my mouth once so I can tell you that it is not something you want to eat. Not bad but very salty. 😉
And the things that look like craisins are pieces of ground clove. Not only do they tell you exactly what is in the scrub you can identify the pieces. Very reassuring!
