After trying out The Body Shop's Satsuma Body Butter and falling in love with it, I recently purchased the Body Shop Satsuma Body Polish. The body polish is a body scrub that leaves your skin soft and glowing.
Importance of exfoliation of the body :
When we speak of exfoliation we usually only think of feet, but exfoliation of the body is equally important too and let me tell you why. Pollution and dust tends to settle down on our skin and when the skin naturally regenerates itself , these dead cells are pushed on to the outermost layer of our skin, making our skin appear dull. So it is important to exfoliate your skin frequently to remove these dust particles and let the new layers to appear on top, giving our skin a fresh and shiny look.A basic soap does not work in exfoliation since it only cleans the dust & dirt accumulated. We need specific products to work on our skin according to the concerns we have like dry, dull skin or sensitive skin.
I exfoliate my body during bath using a good scrub like a homemade coffee powder plus sugar scrub or a shop bought one. This time I have the review of The Body Shop Satsuma Body Polish.

My review of The Body Shop Satsuma Body Polish :
The Body Shop Satsuma body polish comes in a plastic tube packaging which is not the most comfortable type for travel , since the lid does not sit tightly all the times. I always carry it in a small travel size container whenever I need it during my travel. The plastic tube is transparent which reveals the orange colored Satsuma Body polish and looks bright & attractive.
The body polish has a flowing gel like consistency which is so easy to work on the skin. It lathers quite well and gets washed off easily with water. Though it has a gel like consistency, it does not feel gooey while washing. I work them in circular motions on my skin after I wash it with a mild soap so that the body polish can work on my clean skin.I use it about 2 times a week with an exfoliation sponge that I bought from Watsons ,which aids the process of exfoliation.
Note : Too much of pressure can hurt your skin. be gentle with your skin all the time.
The body polish smells of fresh oranges & is so refreshing especially on the days you feel tired. The smell stays on for about an hour or so which is really good and my skin feels really soft, smooth and spotlessly clean post usage. The Body Shop Satsuma body polish removes all the dirt from the skin and makes your skin look bright and fresh. This can be used on all skin types and my husband who has oily skin too feels this works great on his skin and refreshes him after a tired day.
