I've had the chance to try this lemon peel sugar scrub from Dieci Colori's Essence of Italy line. It's basically a body care line that is made from organic ingredients. This product is from their Fruit collection, which is infused with the fragrant essence of lemon zest. According to the company, the product is made from 100% organic sugar crystals and lemon zest.
My Take: This sugar scrub smells divine. The scent of lemon is intoxicating and really perks up my spirit in the mornings. I apply the product with moistened hands while in the shower, and scrub the granules on the areas that need more tender loving care: elbows, knees, lower and upper arms, ankles, heels and feet. I gently rinse the crystals off and get amazed everytime by the result: I get soft, smooth, supple skin without feeling or looking greasy or oily. The targeted areas look smooth and I get nicely-pink heels and soles as a result of all the sloughing of dead skin cells.
Upside: Amazing natural (as opposed to artificial) lemon scent, excellent exfoliation, gives beautiful, smooth and supple skin without being greasy.
Downside: May be a bit too dry for some people. You can probably add a bit of olive oil if you need more moisture (but believe me, this will make you feel moisturized without being too greasy). A little high-end in price but if you want to indulge and feel pampered, this is a good buy.
After exfoliating, I follow this up with my Dieci Colori Essence of Italy Lemon Whipped Body Cream which deserves its own review. The combination of these 2 products is a one-two Knock-Out punch against skin dullness, flaking and dryness. Watch out for my thoughts on this in the next entries.
