Neutrogena Naturals Cream Cleanser Review




Chances are we’ve all dealt with acne at some point in our live. Chances are also that those who struggle with acne have searched for a product that will blow our minds and keep the acne off of our faces. 

Today, I’m sharing with you a new product from Neutrogena (the naturals line). This product is called the “Acne Cream Cleanser.” There are several new products in this line, however; I am just going to be talking specifically about the Acne Cream Cleanser.

In the past, I have tried Neutrogena face products in my teen years. They didn’t work that well for me then. If you’ve read any of my skincare reviews, you know that most products geared toward acne never quite blow my mind. I didn’t mind this Netrogena cleanser much and it is very affordable (priced at $7.99 at your local Walmart). It might be a little more pricey if you purchase it from a drugstore. 

This product’s main ingredient towards fighting and preventing acne is salicylic acid. The description claims that it powerfully penetrates down into pores to treat breakouts and help prevent new ones from forming.
The formula is quite creamy, and it is 93% naturally derived. The product claims to lather to gently cleanse and remove pore-clogging oil, dirt and impurities. 

One of the most amazing things about this product is that it is NOT tested on animals. Also, it is fortified with an acne-fighting bionutrient for clear, healthy looking skin.  It does not contain any harsh chemicals, sulfates, parabans, and the like. 

One of the things that I did not like about this product was the fact that it was so creamy. It didn’t lather at all. For me, that is a weird thing, for you, you may not mind. Don’t get me wrong, the product cleansed my skin absolutely fine, I just wish that it lathered. It does not have any microbeads in it, so it will not work as an exfoliant either. For that reason, I choose not to use this product after removing my makeup at the end of the day. After removing makeup, I like to wash my face with a scrub that has microbeads in it to ensure that I have successfully removed all makeup. With this particular Neutrogena cleanser, I liked to use it more in the morning. 

The scent is a little citrusy but has an undertone of a medicine-ish smell, if that makes sense. I like to use this product in the morning for two reasons. One, because I am not removing any makeup in the morning (obviously), so I don’t need a cleanser with microbeads. And two, the scent of the product kind of provides for a “wake me up.”

As far as the potential to help treat and prevent acne, I did find that this worked towards keeping my skin clear and preventing any future acne breakouts, but it did not work so fast nor great in clearing up the breakouts that I had already had. I wouldn’t say this product is bad, but I would use it in conjunction with a cream/serum specifically geared towards acne-prone skin for the best prevention method. 

Overall, I like this product. I would consider repurchasing this product when I run out of it because I like products like this as a light cleanser in the morning before I apply makeup and get ready for the day. It didn’t work wonders for me with regards to my acne, although that is not to say that this product wouldn’t work great for someone who just has an occasional breakout. Please keep in mind when reading this review that I have oily/combination skin, which is extremely sensitive and acne-prone.

Beauty Stat Review: Body Facts by Face Facts!



Sometimes we all need a little boost in the morning and often enough a great bath and shower gel or body lotion with an amazing scent can get us inspired and motivated for the day. 

You may or may not remember a review I did a while ago for a company called Face Facts consisting of reviewing their entire lipstick and lip liner collections. I’m back to review another collection from them called “Body Facts.”

I’ll first start out with the amazing handcrafted scented bar soaps that I have tested. I have these in the two scents they offer; pomegranate and pomegranate & pear. They retail for $7.50. 

At first I was a little skeptical about trying these. I must admit that it has been years and years since I’ve used a bar soap for anything, as a hand soap or a body soap. I do like the marbled appearance of them, as though fruit is swirled through out. I also must say that they do have a delightful, light and fruity scent. 

I was shocked at how well these lathered on a loofa. They also left my skin feeling so squeaky clean after a shower it was pretty amazing. I think I like these better than most body washes I have been using lately!
I personally didn’t think that they left too much of a scent on my skin after the shower, but I must have been wrong. I walked past my boyfriend about 15 minutes after I got out of the shower and got dressed, and he inquired about what kind of perfume I was wearing. I told him that I hadn’t put any on yet! I guess maybe I couldn’t pick up on it but he sure could! Later on that evening, he was in the bathroom and could smell the soap from the shower. He really liked the scent, and I do as well. 

As far as ingredients, as you can see in the photographs, they are made with 100% natural ingredients, are totally paraben free and there is 100% NO animal testing what so ever! Specific ingredients in each scent of soap vary on the scent, but you can refer to the image for a detailed list. 

The next two products kind of go together. They are the Face Facts revitalizing body lotion and body wash. These both have a similar scent to them but it’s not quite exactly the same.  They are both offered on the web-site for $25.50. The great thing about these products is that they have pumps. I absolutely love it – it’s a no fuss no hassle kind of thing!

Again, these are made with all 100% natural ingredients. Please refer to the photograph for a very detailed list of all ingredients in the products. The backs of the labels are shown in the image. The product on the left is the body lotion while the product on the right is the body wash. 

First, I’ll start off with the body wash. This is probably my favorite out of the two. The scent is absolutely great. It’s a very light citrus scent. I picked that up before even reading the ingredients on the back. The body wash smells exactly like grapefruit to me (and that is one of the ingredients in it surprise surprise!) But I also pick up on a lemony/lime scent. I sometimes dislike citrus scented body washes/sprays/lotions because they borderline the scent of a cleaning product – but I did not have that issue with these at all.

I find it to be very uplifting when used in the morning. It leaves a light, clean and fresh fragrance on your body. If paired with the lotion, the scent will last for a much longer amount of time obviously. The body wash lathers up really well on a loofa with about 2-4 pumps of product. 

The body lotion on the other hand has a much lighter scent but as I stated above, it smells very similar to the body wash and I think it was intended to be that way as they have some of the same ingredients. 

I like the softness that this lotion adds to my skin but I do find it to be just a tad bit greasy at first (like many lotions) until the product has a chance to “soak” into your skin, so to speak. After that, it leaves a nice light lingering scent throughout the day. I have tested this on my body, however not my face, and I would not recommend to use a body lotion on your face, especially if you have sensitive facial skin like I do. However, being that these are made with 100% natural ingredients, you may be able to if you really wanted to. 

I don’t have any issues with ANY of these products leaving a residue on my skin. There is no oiliness, greasiness, and what not to these products. (With the exception that I mentioned about the body lotion being greasy until it sets in) I am actually going to mention again how amazed I am with the bar soaps. They truly leave your skin feeling so clean it’s practically squeaky!

Overall, these products may seem a little pricey and upscale but they are made with natural and organic ingredients and often times I will find that organic and natural products have a much higher price tag. I don’t mind it if I really like the products. 

I am absolutely in love with the body wash and the handcrafted bar soaps. The body lotion I do like, but I just think the other two products mentioned are really the best of the bunch. If I had to recommend any ONE product from this line, it would be the handcrafted scented bar soap in Pomegranate & Pear. =) 

These products are available at http://facefactsbylori.com. You should also browse around and check out the lipsticks and lip liners they have! (Refer to my review of Lip Facts for those product reviews and more photographs!)

Beauty Stat Review: Desert Essence






If you have sensitive skin, you may notice that sometimes perfumed body lotions, face washes, daily face moisturizers, or other skin care products may break you out. I’m here to share with you a line that is providing us with organic products to use on a daily basis for an affordable price. 

Desert Essence Organics have a large variety of products available at http://desertessence.com for you to browse through. These products range from face washes to body lotions to shampoos to toothpaste, and the list goes on. Today, I will share with you the products that I have had the opportunity to test out from Desert Essence. 

I do want to note that about half of these products did come in individual boxes/packaging, however I felt that it would not add to the photograph to include it because of the volume of products I am reviewing.
According to the Desert Essence website… The desert is the source of their ingredients. They create high quality natural products. They clearly label all ingredients on both the product and their website for your convenience. They do not test on animals. Their products have no: parabens, artificial fragrances/dyes, petroleum compounds including mineral oil, petrolatum and paraffin, no SLS, PEGS, PPG, MEA, DEA or TEA, and no glycols or phthalates. They are: vegetarian/vegan, recyclable and biodegradable, contain soy, use renewable resources and are cruelty free. 

I have sort of categorized these products into four categories to make it easier to mention and review to you all. The first category is “face lotions.” 

I also want to make a notation for ease of reference that I have combination to oily skin on my face and as far as body is concerned, I would consider my skin type to be normal. 

The first product I will be mentioning is the Desert Essence “Daily Essential Defense Lotion SPF 15 for Normal Skin.” According to the Desert Essence website, this lotion will protect skin against premature aging, penetrate to provide deep, long-lasting moisture and restore elasticity that your skin loses through environmental stresses. It is made from a shrub in America’s Sonora Desert. It has jojoba oil in it, along with aloe vera and soybean oil to help skin’s natural radiance. Another key ingredient is millet oil, which contains essential fatty acids to help encourage skin renewal. 

This lotion is geared towards individuals with normal skin types, so I was a little leery of using it underneath my foundation because of my own personal skin type. . I do have combination to oily skin and I was able to use this as a daily moisturizer under my foundation and as a nightly moisturizer before going to bed. I did not experience this product causing my foundation to break down despite the fact that my skin gets oily in particular areas. It held up very well.  This product has a very mild scent to it. The texture is nice and it does not leave your skin feeling oily or greasy. The SPF 15 is a plus as always. 

I can’t say that I really noticed any protection against premature aging because I am not currently experiencing any wrinkles and/or fine lines, but I’m all about using products to prevent that as everyone should be! 

The Desert Essence Daily Essential Defense Lotion SPF 15 for Normal Skin is available at http://desertessence.com and retails for $18.99. You will receive 2 fl. oz. of product. 

The next product  is the Desert Essence “Thoroughly Clean Oil Control Lotion.” According to the website, this lotion will hydrate oily/combination skin without clogging pores, help reduce oil and blemishes, and leave skin velvety smooth and shine-free. It has organic chamomile and lavender oil, as well as tea tree oil, which has natural antiseptic properties and helps to soothe and calm skin, while improving texture and clarity. It leaves skin with a matte appearance.

I absolutely love this product! This is one of my favorite products that I have tested out! I was a little leery about this because products like this usually don’t work for me. I have tried multiple primers as well and found that they don’t work and I still tend to get oily in my “T” zone. However, I was pleasantly surprised with this product! I have been using it every day under my foundation and will continue to use it as well. It leaves my skin matte, and for the most part, keeps me oil-free. I did notice that paired with different foundations, sometimes oil will seep through, but I think a large majority of that depends on the particular foundation and whether or not it tends to break down, etc. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this and can’t say it enough. You can pick up on the tea tree oil in this product as far as scent is concerned. Tea tree oil has a very strong scent but it’s not unbearable in this particular lotion.
The retail price for the Desert Essence “Thoroughly Clean Oil Control Lotion” is $12.99 and is available at http://desertessence.com. You will receive 4 fl. oz. of this product. To me, this is definitely worth it’s weight in gold! 5 stars!

The next product is the Desert Essence “Gentle Nourishing Day Cream SPF 15 for Dry & Sensitive Skin.” According to the website, this will rehydrate dry and sensitive skin, protect against premature aging and leave skin feeling softer, smoother and more supple. It contains Argan oil, aloe vera, and antioxidant rich white tea extract to strengthen the skins natural moisture barrier and prevent free radical damage. 

I found that this product did not work for me. Again, the reasoning in my opinion is because I have oily/combination skin and this is formulated for dry/sensitive skin. When used underneath foundation, I ended up being a greasy mess after approximately four to five hours. But, based on my own experiences, I can formulate an educated guess that this would work wonderfully for you if you do in fact have dry/sensitive skin. However, I would not recommend this to anyone with normal to combination to oily skin as it may be a little bit too moisturizing for you and therefore give you an end result of oily skin. 

The scent is again very mild. This product did not irritate my skin what so ever. It would be great to use as a night cream just for the moisturizing factor of it. 

You can purchase this product at http://desertessence.com and it retails for $18.99. You will receive 2 fl. oz. of product. 

The next product is the Desert Essence “Thoroughly Clean Face Wash” for Normal Skin. According to the website, this will effectively clean without feeling harsh, provide skin with potent antioxidant protection and help improve skins texture and clarity through regular use. This uses exclusive Eco-Harvest Tea Tree Oil formulated with organic Echinacea and licorice root extract to soothe as it cleanses. Green and white tea extracts protect and mineral rich sea kelp helps nourish skin to keep it looking vibrant and healthy. 

I absolutely love this! This is a dead ringer tie with the Thoroughly Clean Face Lotion as far as favorites are concerned for me. This has helped with my residual acne breakouts so much! You won’t notice an overnight different by using this but overtime it has helped. The scent of the tea tree oil is lingering but it’s not too strong to give you a headache or anything. It leaves my skin feeling very clean and very fresh. I use this alongside with my Clarisonic Mia 2 and find that I have awesome results.  I can also say that I do notice my skin’s texture is a lot smoother since I have started using this. This should be paired with the Thoroughly Clean Face Lotion for best results (according to the packaging.) I didn’t find that this made a real big difference being that it was formulated for normal skin and I have combination/oily skin. The texture of this product is rather thin, but it actually lathers up very nicely once on the skin, mixed with a little bit of water. 

This product is available at http://desertessence.com and retails for $9.29. You will receive 8.5 fl. oz. This product, again,  is worth its weight in gold! 

The next product is the Desert Essence “Daily Essential De-Puffing Eye Cream.” According to the website, this product revitalizes tired, puffy eyes, soothes delicate skin under eyes and refreshes as it smoothes your skin. It is a antioxidant rich blend of hibiscus, lavender and pomegranate extracts to comfort fatigued eyes. It is also rich with vitamin c, jojoba oil, and vitamin e. 

I don’t particularly suffer from puffy eyes. My eyes are slightly puffy for maybe about five minutes right when I first wake up but then they go down after only a few minutes of being awake. I, however, tried this product right when I woke up. I can’t say that I noticed a difference in the time that it took for my eyes to “de-puff” after waking up.  The scent of this product is very light and fresh, just like all of the other products that I have tested out. I can’t say that I know for a fact this product works because I don’t suffer from puffy eyes, but if it works as well as the other products I have tested for Desert Essence then I am sure it would be worth the money.

This product is available at http://desertessence.com and retails for $15.99. You will receive 1 fl. oz. in product. 

The next product is the Desert Essence “Gentle Nourishing Organic Cleanser” for dry and sensitive skin. According to the website, this product will provide effective cleansing gentle enough for dry/sensitive skin, leave skin feeling moisturized and remove makeup without irritating or stinging eyes. It has apple juice, aloe vera, chamomile, and cucumber extracts which moisturize dry/sensitive skin to leave you with a fresh glow.
I, again, have combination/oily skin and this product did not work for me. It simply provided too much moisture to my skin and I found that as a result, I ended up with oily skin faster than normal. Due to my experiences with this product, I would assume that this would definitely work for someone with dry/sensitive skin. My boyfriend tested this product out as well, because he has just regular normal skin, and this issue did not occur for him. I think if you have normal to dry skin, you can get away with using this product, however anything from oily/combination, I would pass on this cleanser. The texture is slightly thick as well, but the scent is very pleasant. I do wish the Thoroughly Clean Face Wash had this scent!

This product is available at http://desertessence.com and retails for $13.99. You will receive 6.7 fl. oz. of product. 

Another one of my favorites is the Desert Essence “Nourishing Body Oil.” This product is supposed to leave skin feeling healthy and silky smooth, according to the website. It features a blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. It has a blend of ten super oils including safflower, jojoba, grape seed and soybean. It’s scented with cactus flower. It can also be used for aromatherapy and as a massage oil.

I love this stuff! I use it nightly as a moisturizer before I go to bed. Just like any other body oil, it kind of gives your skin this sheen, sort of like a glow. I absolutely love it! It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth without being greasy. It actually absorbs into your skin very well. The scent is not nearly as floral as I had expected but there is an interesting note in this product that I can’t quite pick up on. Either way, the scent is lovely! I would definitely purchase this product.

Unfortunately, this product had leaked all over the box by the time I opened it when it arrived. It wasn’t too much of a hassle to clean up, but just something to note. There is not a seal on this product so it may get messy in the lieu of being shipped. 

You can purchase this product at http://desertessence.com and it retails for $9.99. You will receive 6.4 fl. oz. 

Desert Essence “Perfect Pistacho Foot Repair Cream” is another one of my favorites. According to the website, this will provide intense moisture to restore softness to dry skin. It will smooth rough skin, and support skin repair. It has organic pistachio nut oil which will quickly absorb into the roughest skin, to soften the area. It also has shea butter to deeply hydrate skin, while macadamia seed oil begins the process of regeneration.

I love this product! I don’t suffer from extremely dry/cracked heels or feet, but I notice that in the summer when I wear sandals more my feet to tend to get more dry. I do wear high heels a lot as well and notice that my skin on my feet can be a little rough in certain spots. I love to use this at night and put on a pair of socks before I go to bed because I find that it locks in the moisture and when I wake up, they are as soft as a baby’s feet! I also use it in the morning as well. This cream is definitely another product that’s worth its weight in gold! The scent of this is absolutely amazing as well.

This product retails for $8.99 for 3.5 fl. oz. at http://desertorganics.com. 

Another body cream I tried was the Desert Essence “Natural Shea Butter Body Cream.” According to the website, this product claims to restore moisture and softness to the skin and smooth skin without leaving an oily residue. It contains shea butter, macadamia nut extract and cactus extract, along with vitamins A, B-complex, C, D, E and 18 essential amino acids to keep skin healthy and strong.

I really like using this body cream as a daily cream after getting out of the shower in the morning. It has a light fresh fragrance that isn’t too overpowering and will not conflict with your perfume. It leaves skin feeling soft and smooth all day long. You have to use a little bit of effort to rub this into your skin but it is definitely worth it. This product also works awesome as a hand cream. 

This product retails for $9.99 at http://desertessence.com and you will receive 6 fl. oz. of product. 

I also reviewed the Desert Essence “Pumpkin Spice Hand Repair Cream.” According to the website, this will moisturize your skin, protect against daily environmental stress on the hands and help to even out your skin tone. It has a high concentration of organic oils and extracts such as jojoba oil, organic pumpkin seed oil, and licorice leaf extracts. It is rich with vitamins A, C, E and K, along with zinc. 

This is an absolutely awesome product. I almost forgot to photograph this product because it has found a new home in my purse! I take this everywhere with me. The scent is absolutely amazing! It smells just like a pumpkin! It leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth as it should. I can’t comment on the claim of evening out your skin tone because I don’t find that my hands have an uneven skin tone to them. However, I absolutely adore this. It is a little hard to work into your skin, in my opinion, because it feels greasy for a few moments but once it absorbs into your hands, it leaves them soft and supple. 

This product retails for $8.99 and is available at http://desertessence.com. You will receive 4 fl. oz. of product. 

The last two products I am going to review together. They are the “100% Organic Tea Tree Oil” and the “Organic Lavender Tea Tree Oil.” 

The organic tea tree oil can effectively treat problem skin with regular use, deep clean pores and help relieve redness, and has other multiple uses around the household. (According to the website)

The organic lavender tea tree oil can help soothe and calm problematic skin, offer relaxing aromatherapy, and can also be used to freshen laundry. (According to the website) 

Tea tree oil has many antiseptic properties about it and can be used to treat acne. I find that you should dilute it with water at first if you are unsure of how your skin will react. These work just as well as any other tea tree oil in this regard. I have not actually tried to use the lavender tea tree oil to freshen laundry so I cannot comment on that, but that is quite interesting. Tea tree oil has a very repulsive scent to me and sometimes I can’t even bare to smell it. It also leaves a lingering scent for hours after you use it. It’s not a very pleasant product to work with but it works and it lives up to its claims. If you suffer from acne and have tried many other products, I would recommend giving tea tree oil a shot. I would recommend that you purchase the 100% tea tree oil as opposed to the one with lavender in it if you are planning to use it for that purpose.  I have a bottle of tea tree oil already in my medicine cabinet and I find that these two products work just as well as the one that I already have that cost more than these two products.

Both of these products are available at http://desertessence.com . The 100% Organic Tea Tree Oil retails for $9.49 for .5 fl. oz. The Lavender Tea Tree Oil retails for $8.99 and you will receive .6 fl. oz. 

Overall, my favorite products are the Thoroughly Clean Face Wash, the Thoroughly Clean Face Lotion, the Nourishing Body Oil with Cactus Flower, and the Perfect Pistachio Foot Repair Cream. I am absolutely in love with these products and they are all amazing. 

I think that in the bunch of products that I have reviewed, as far as the skincare products are concerned, there is something for everybody. Desert Essence seems to make it a point to aim products towards certain skin types, so if you are interested in these products, you should have no problem finding one to suit your specific skincare needs.

Skinny Girl Body Butter, Body Oil & Smoothing & Firming Body Wash

Review, Photos: Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl Line Of Smoothing And Firming Skin Care Products - Body Wash, Oil, Butter
Do you struggle locking moisture into your skin after a shower? Or maybe your skin gets a little dry and irritated after shaving? Today, I will be reviewing some products from Skinnygirl by Bethenny Frankel — a solution to all of these problems.

The line offers a lot more than just skin care products! The first product I am going to start with is the Skinny Girl Body Solutions Smoothing & Firming Body Wash ($9.97). This body wash is infused with cranberry extract and witch hazel. Since it does have witch hazel in it, in my personal opinion, I feel that if you are someone who may struggle with acne on your body (i.e.: on your shoulders, chest area, etc.) this may be a good product to help heal some of that unsightly acne.

Review, Photos: Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl Line Of Smoothing And Firming Skin Care Products - Body Wash, Oil, Butter
The Skinnygirl Body Solutions Smoothing & Firming Body Wash has a light, pleasant scent. I can pick up on the cranberries in this body wash, most definitely. This body wash claims to be firming, which I find it did not, having been using this for around 2-3 weeks. As always, I would never rely on a body wash to tone up your skin — that’s something you should hit the gym for. However, for a body wash to make that sort of a statement is rather bold. Maybe after extended and prolonged use of the product, you might see some firming results. There is also a corresponding lotion to the body wash (which I did not test out).

The formula for the body wash has caffeine and cranberry extract in it, which are supposed to improve circulation and stimulate the skin. There is also cucumber extract, to help smooth out your skin as well as soften. Finally, the witch hazel is a natural and effective cleanser. When it comes to lather, I find that I have to use a significantly larger amount of this body wash than other body washes I have tried to get just a normal, typical lather for me. I do use a loofa with this product, so if you are just using a wash cloth then you may have more issues than I did.

It is almost gone and it’s only been around 2-3 weeks of use, so that may be something to note if you like a rich-lathering body wash like I do. The spout on the cap also dispenses a smaller amount of product than normal, so that may be something to note. The scent does not linger on your skin after you shower, like most body washes. I can’t say that I noticed this body wash doing particularly awesome things for my skin; I would not say that I hate it, but I definitely don’t love this product.

Next are the two products from the Skinnygirl Mommy line. I tested out the Conditioning Belly Butter ($9.97) and the Soothing Body Oil. For the record, I am not currently pregnant, so I do not suffer from dry, itchy skin on my stomach due to pregnancy, but I did use these products as an all-over moisturizer.
The Conditioning Belly Butter has such an interesting texture to it. It also has an amazing scent! The product has cocoa butter and vitamin E in it, but, to me, the smell leans more towards vanilla icing than cocoa butter… and the texture is rather similar as well! I am in love with this product. This product is super thick, just like any other body butter I have tried. It leaves your skin feeling soft, supple and smooth — and I could definitely see how this would relieve dry and itchy skin for a pregnant woman. There is nothing that would stop you from using this as an all-over moisturizer! It’s fantastic!

One thing to note is that the formula feels a little heavy on the skin, so I think in the hotter summer months it may be a little heavy for everyday use. It doesn’t require too much effort to rub it in. However, there are some little annoying clumps of product within the tub. I found that while using this product they do not rub out, so it makes it annoying to use. But overall, the product does what it claims, and is awesome in my opinion.
Besides shea butter, some of the key ingredients are sunflower seed oil, beeswax, sesame seed oil, cocoa seed butter and vitamin E. I will note that on the website for Skinnygirl it claims that vitamin E helps even out skin tone and diminish the appearance of scars. I do have a scar on my lower abdomen from having three c-sections and I did not notice that this helped it fade at all. Again, I have only been using these products for about 2-3 weeks, so maybe with prolonged usage I could comment more on scar-fading results.

Review, Photos: Bethenny Frankel's Skinnygirl Line Of Smoothing And Firming Skin Care Products - Body Wash, Oil, Butter
The last product is the Soothing Body Oil ($8.88), also part of the Skinnygirl Mommy line. I absolutely love this product as well! Since it is oil, it does require a little bit more effort to rub into your skin to avoid being a slick and shiny mess. However, I do love the soft sheen that this product gives my skin! The only way I can describe this scent is very clean and almost smells floral to me.

According to the website, this product has sweet almond oil, safflower seed oil, coconut oil and olive oil. This product is great to use after shaving your legs, or after the shower. I find that it really locks the moisture into your skin. However, I will add that this is a great product to moisturize your feet with! But, just be careful because it will make the bottom of your feet

slippery, especially if you’re walking on hard wood floors! (Don’t worry, I didn’t fall… hehe)
One more thing I would like to say about the Soothing Body Oil is that I also think this may be a little heavy to wear in the hotter summer months. I can’t say that I have tested this theory of mine out yet, because it’s not that hot here in Michigan, but I’m just assuming by how it feels on your skin. This may or may not be an issue for you if you decide to purchase this product.

Overall, I would recommend the body butter or the body oil. I would purchase these products for myself, regardless of the fact that they are intended for expecting mothers to use. I did not care for the body wash so much and I would not purchase it again.

You can check out their products at  www.bethenny.com or www.skinnygirlfaceandbody.com
