The Body Shop Shea sugar body scrub review

BEST IF YOU WANT TO: Reveal softer, glowing skin with exfoliating salt grains and organic sugar in a moisturizing, oil-based scrub that has a fresh, classic scent.
BEST FOR: very dry skin
How it works:
Community Trade shea butter has antioxidant vitamins A and E to help protect and nourish skin.
Community Trade organic soy oil is very rich in essential fatty acids that help to repair skin’s
moisture barrier, so skin is smooth and supple.
Community Trade organic sugar and salt grains gently exfoliate skin.

The body shop shea scrub is one of my favorites from their line. Actually I adore the whole Shea line and every product is really worth mentioning. Especially if you have dry skin like me. I love how gentle it is but moisturizing, never heavy or greasy but it still gives very good nourishment to the skin. Soon I will write about the other products from the Shea line too. Now let's focus on the Shea sugar scrub.

Ingredient list:

Shea scrub has very creamy and thick texture, that is rough enough to provide very good exfoliation but at the same time it's gentle enough if you have dry or sensitive skin. Usually scrubs that are meant for dry skin are way to gentle or the texture is thin and falls apart in the shower. With TBS Shea scrub this never happens since the texture is so thick. A little goes a long way. Usually it lasts me about two months if I use it once a week. This scrub is perfect combo of sea salts and sugar to provide easy removal of dead skin while shea provides moisturizing. When you rinse it off at first you will notice almost "oily" residue since it's rich in oils but it absorbs super quickly and by the time you towel dry your skin you will not feel any kind of residue on the skin. It leaves skin super soft and silky smooth. If your skin is not really dry you do not even have to follow with any kind of moisturizer - shea in this scrub would be just enough moisturizing. 

Besides the beautiful texture I love Shea scent. So soft and gentle. Probably one of the nicest scents ever created for body line.

The body shop revamped their packaging and to be honest with you I do not like it at all. Before they used to have name of the product on the lid, while now it's only picture with TBS sign. There is small white lettering on the side of the jar which is also very light almost white. You have to look really hard to figure out which product is it.
Another bad thing about packaging change is that products are not sealed any more. Big big minus!! I can't even tell you how often I found body butters with someones finger prints in it. So disgusting.

Great plus for buying TBS items is that they always have deals and sales. Mostly I wait for the 50% off and then I get their Scrubs and butters for 10$ only. That is super great deal for the quality they offer.  Regular price for the scrub is 20$ for the 200ml. They used to have large 300ml jars that once I snatched on sale for 9$.

After exfoliation I always follow with TBS shea butter. These two are great combo for dry skin. Overall I highly recommend this scrub as the best one from TBS line. Please share your thoughts with me if I should try any other scrubs from TBS.
