The packaging of this product is really pretty. I like the flip top cover, though it can be a little difficult to flip open but still, the product does look very spa-ish and looks very nice sitting by your bathtub.



The product is easy to scoop out, and it has a very thick texture like thick mud. You have to use quite a lot of product to effectively scrub one area because the grains aren't as big as i thought they would be and one thing you have to note is that as you continue to rub, the salt grains become smaller and smaller till they cease to exist. I don't know why this happens, i guess the salt melts or something. I didn't expect this to happen so i guess this isn't such a good exfoliating product as i thought it would be.




However, the amount of shea butter inside this product should be enough to keep your skin soft and smooth. When the salt grains disappear, you feel like you are rubbing thick intensive lotion onto your body.



As for scent, smells like those spa products but then again, its hard to define it.




I guess this product would be good for people who want gentle exfoliation and more moisturizing. The small salt grains do not hurt your skin and the shea butter in it compensates for the lack in the exfoliation field.
