What I like about the Body Care Rice Bran Scrub
It is extremely mild. The scrub particles are not really visible at all. This is one of the reasons that I didn’t use it as a body scrub. For me it was way too mild to be used as body scrub. But this is a personal choice. Girls, who like a mild scrub or with a sensitive skin, will be absolutely satisfied with this.
The ingredients are exotic like rice bran powder, rice bran, olive, almond, in fact availability of rice bran scrub in the local shops is rare, and I tried buying one but couldn’t find out.
The light fragrance is lovely. I totally love it. It makes me feel as if I am in a beauty salon.
The consistency is thick creamy, and the colour is white.
After washing the face, the skin feels nourished and soft. The stretchy feeling is absent; it’s more like cleaning the face as well as moisturizing it. This product is a perfect daily scrub for normal and dry skinned people and for winters.
Packaging is attractive and in a tube which is hygienic. Flip top cap is good and easy to carry
A little amount is enough for the whole face.
What I do not like about the Body Care Rice Bran Scrub :
The Body care products are not easily available; it’s only available on www.goodlife.com.
I personally feel that a scrub should neither be too mild nor too harsh; the amount of cream, cleaning agents and scrub particles should be in such a ratio so that it removes the dead layers of the skin and at the same time is not harsh on the skin. I have a tip for my readers if you find a scrub too harsh mix it with a scrub which is too mild and vice versa and you will get the desired results.
Last but not the least important factor is that this scrub is expensive
Bottom Line:
But I can tell that it’s a gem of a product, if you exfoliate your skin daily and you like creamy, mild scrubs that too full of so many amazing ingredients, then you should definitely go for it.
