I just booked my flight back to the states for the Holidays (some of them). I can't wait....I love looking forward to a vacation. In the meantime ...time to do a blog post. I think I only have one more use of this and I need to cut it open so definitely time to review it. I've tried a few things from this brand- and I'm also pretty sure I had a tiny sample of this scrub but I think it was before I reviewed samples.

First things first- I don't have KP. But I heard this scrub can get rid of "strawberry" skin. And even though my strawberry skin legs don't bother me I thought I would give it a go because I was in disbelief. IDK if it's because I only had the small size but it doesn't get rid of strawberry skin.
It has both a chemical exfoliant and a physical one in the form of pumice. I do like a pumice scrub because unlike sugar or salt it does not dissolve so you can scrub as long as you wish. I also like pumice because it's not scratchy but does feel like it's exfoliating. The chemical exfoliants are Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid.
It is really nice and scrubby. And my skin does feel slightly smoother for about an hour after. Lotion goes on smoother and sinks in quicker. But I really feel the smoothness is temporary. I think I was expecting more.
You do have to be careful to really rinse it- otherwise you will find it stuck in random places.
I bought the 2 ounce size for about $8.00. I like that First Aid Beauty offers small sizes and so many sampler kits so you can really test the smaller sizes before committing to a larger one.
