Primavera Life Body Scrub

Review of Primavera Life Body Scrub
By Shona B.
The Primavera Life Body Scrub is like a body wash than a body scrub this product was very runny and lightly foamed on contact with water. I really liked the distinctive but subtle (apricot?) fragrance but unfortunately it didn’t linger on my skin. The pale gold / brown colour is a bit off putting and although not exactly glamorous on the bathroom shelf the squeezy tube was easy to use in the shower without getting water in the product and surprisingly didn’t release too much of the product. The tiny bead like exfoliating particles are abundant in the product and didn’t scratch or irritate my skin but didn’t feel like they were exfoliating it either. My skin afterwards felt clean and was a little smoother but a rough patch on my elbow was still rough and dry. Reassuringly the particles are jojoba wax rather than plastic like so many similar products. Unlike a lot of the more natural body scrubs the Primavera Life Body Scrub isn’t oil based so you don’t end up with oil all over your skin or having to scrub the tub after use. Despite foaming and not being oil based I didn’t need to use a moisturiser afterwards as it left my skin feeling soft and not at all dry.

Positives:
No need for a separate body wash.
Easy to clean the bath afterwards.
Left my skin moisturised.
Pleasant smell.
Didn’t scratch or irritate my skin despite my legs being covered in cuts and bruises.

Negatives:
Didn’t exfoliate or smooth my rough patches.
A bit runny. I like chunky body scrubs I have to take handfuls of.

Best For:
A gentle daily body polish for people with sensitive skin.
