\A nostalgic sweet scent and just the right amount of scrubbing sensation/First of all, the scent is nostalgic! It's the sweetness of the scented chili cookie snacks that were popular as a child about 40 years ago. I think anyone over 40 will recognize that nostalgic scent... It's not modern, but it's not unpleasant and has a comforting scent. The scrub particles aren't too big, so I can use it with confidence! They're not harsh, but they do stick to my skin when I roll them between my fingers. Because it's oil-based, it doesn't feel tight during the wash and leaves my skin smooth after rinsing. Looking at the ingredients, I understand why it feels so good to use. The base is oil-based, including squalane and triglyceride caprylate/caprate. The scrub is made from sugar (sucrose) and crystalline cellulose, making it a fairly mild physical scrub that doesn't leave any rough edges. In other words, this scrub isn't designed to thoroughly exfoliate, but rather to smooth the surface while reducing friction. It also provides proper protection to prevent dryness afterward. On the other hand, it's not the type that will instantly eliminate pores or dramatically improve skin tone. It's gentle and perfect for those looking for a scrub that isn't too harsh. On the other hand, it may not be enough for those looking for immediate results or aggressive exfoliation. I think it's the perfect scrub for the dry winter months!
