I'm Loving Soap Scrubs!!

I am now returning home after being in Charleston, SC for a weekend! I stayed in the Isle of Palms Wild Dunes Resort and it was so nice! The scenery was amazing and everything was super peaceful and relaxing! The beach house I stayed in had an amazing bath soap that was made with oatmeal to be used as a soap scrub! Using it was like taking a shower with a back scratcher; it felt soooo good. haha I'm not sure where you could get it because it is a hotel brand, but it was called Destination Oatmeal Bath Bar. However, I did find it on this site: http://www.gilchristsoames.com/view_product/1842/537/Destination_Earth_Jet_Settrade%3B_Travel_Pack and it comes in a package with other shower products for $10! Now I am obsessed with finding another soap scrub that will compare to the one from the resort. Here is what I've found so far!

Soap Scrubs from Lush! (The descriptions are from the website.)

Porridge Soap Lush $6.95- 3.5oz
Ideal for sensitive skin; irresistible to everyone else. Oats are soothing for the skin, while orange juice is refreshing. Rise and shine with some delicious porridge. When the oats mix with hot water, they create a calming milk that softens your entire body. The oatmeal also exfoliates your skin and scrubs the dirt away.

   
Sugar Babe- Soft-centered Sugar Babe $4.95- 3.5oz
Sugar Babe is a gentle alternative to the intensity of Sugar Scrub. It's scented with perfume made from ylang flowers and mimosa blossom, so that we can all smell sensational, too.When applied topically, coconut oil can reduce the symptoms associated with psoriasis and eczema, as it gives a natural balance to the skin.
 

Sea Vegetable Soap- Lime, lavender, and seaweed soap $7.95- 3.5oz
A refreshing splash in the ocean. Sea vegetable is made with seaweed, one of our favourite ingredients, with a crust of stimulating sea salt to give your body a good scrub down. It's like standing on the coast and inhaling the fresh sea air. This is a great soap for sharing amongst the whole household. The scent is perfectly balanced for boys and girls everywhere.
Brimstone Shower Scrub- Hot Spring Inspired Scrub Down $4.95- 4.9 oz
Brimstone is a deeply fragrant, hardcore body scrub, with natural sulphur to condition the skin and keep it clear of problems. Jasmine helps to cover the potent smell of sulphur with a beautiful, floral fragrance.
Stimulating Ginger and Fennel Sugar Scrub $4.95- 3.5oz
Tough on cellulite, kind to skin. Our Sugar Scrub is hard, but a bit of a sweetie. Its no nonsense stance stimulates activity and tackles cellulite with fennel and ginger. Calming lavender has a balancing effect and encourages healthier skin.
Miracle Bar for Bodies $12.95- 3.3 oz
Ground almond shells exfoliate even sensistive skin without irritation. [This is] a cocoa and almond butter mixture of perfect consistency to moisturize your skin without leaving it feeling greasy. Ground almond shells rub away dead skin and leave it soft, clear and smooth. Sandalwood and rose oils calm and lend a beautiful fragrance. Almond butter is moisturizing and creates a smooth, silky effect.

  
A soap scrub from Bath & Body Works!

Our mint-infused exfoliating soap refreshes, energizes and lightly sloughs drab skin with a super-infusion of peppermint oil and crushed walnuts shells, for a wake-you-up cleansing experience.

 


A Soap Scrub from Sephora!
