Who doesn’t love a great exfoliator? If you love a hard scrub and love exfoliators really sandy and rough and great-smelling, you must try Loreal’s Exfotonic.
It smells fresh, it gives the skin a really good scrub, you feel all clean and revitalised after that, no joke. It is comparable to spa salts and professional massage salts they make at the beauty centre. Of course, as with most scrubs and exfoliators, it promises to improve cellulite appearances, make the skin more toned and even trim your excess fat away.
I don’t’ think any of that has happened for me, but I enjoy SCRUBBING THE DIRT AWAY. That experience is just HEAVEN.

I’m sure you all love Crabtree & Evelyn’s lovely country style packaging. I must confess that many times, I buy stuff from Crabtree & Evelyn because so and so box looks really good, or this and that product is wrapped in such lovely paper or basket. I know many of you must do the same, or am I the only silly one.
I have their hand therapy cream, says on the tube that it’s specially formulated with natural shea butter and smooth and help protect hands. Comes in a tiny 50ml tube and good thing is that it’s extremely easy to carry around. I sometimes have extremely dry hands, but this cream hasn’t helped much and it leaves an oily residue on the hands, like never dry. Very annoying. Not a hand cream I would recommend, I certainly don’t’ think it’s hand therapy.
Liked the packaging, but the metal foil tube creases whenever you squeeze, so the tube gets crinkly and it breaks. Not suitable to put in your favourite handbag.

One of the reasons why we all love PALMER’s is because their products are always affordable. I’m not a big fan of PALMER’s products, but I have tried many of them – doesn’t hurt to spend that lil’ bit of money to treat our skin problems in the early stages rather than visit an expensive specialist at once. For those who have tried the dozens of stretchmark creams available in the market, I’m not sure if you have tried the massage cream for stretchmark from Palmer’s.
They market it as a pregnancy stretchmarks cream, which I think is more concentrated than most of their regular stretchmark creams. With a special combination of their usual cocoa butter formula, Vit E, collagen and elastin – the most essential elements of a good stretchmarks treatment cream, it helps prevent and reduce stretchmark. I have to say this – it DOESN’T yet REMOVE the stretchmarks, at least for me… but I’m finding it a good enough cream since I don’t have any extra appearing.
Comes in a 4.4 oz tube, it is a thick cream, it can be fussy to apply and leaves your hands sticky, but is a very good massage cream. If you have the time to take good care of your stretchmarks, invest in one of these. They’re not expensive and I personally find it a good exercise – because it’s such a thick cream, application takes a longer time for the skin to absorb it completely.
