I went for a massage the other day at my spa and surprisingly the massage was not the highlight of that visit, it was in discovering this exfoliating cream from a Canadian line called Fruits and Passion. I was in the lounge area waiting for my massage and of course looking at all the products and trying everything on as always, and then I come across this cream – I read the label and it has the word “exfoliating” on it which immediately got my attention because if nothing else I am obsessed with exfoliating my entire body all the time.
The first one I used was the Monoi and I immediately noticed the tiny grainy pebbles infused in the soft luxurious cream. I was intrigued! I turn the tube over and saw this meter for the level of exfoliation – this one said “Soft” and I made a “I don’t want soft” face and looked all the tubes until I found one with an almost full meter that read, “Intense”. Now we’re talking!! I squeezed a bunch out and went to town on my legs, feeling an “intense” scrubbing action as I rubbed the thousands of grains of this Moringa Exfoliating Cream ($14) all over. I can feel my skin react not only externally but I noticed increased circulation to my legs from all the activity. This was the most invigorating moisturizing I’ve ever done!! My legs were crazy soft after this one treatment!
Of course, as I’m sure you are all wondering, what happens to all those tiny pebbly grains? Yes, they were all stuck to my legs. I tried brushing it off with my hands but because the cream is so buttery they were pretty well stuck. I simply took a dry towel and gently ran it over my legs and they all came off quickly and easily. I was so impressed with the results of this cream, I went back for more and found the Body Butter with Moringa ($20) (also known as the horseraddish tree, every part of it is used for food or medicinal purposes, including treating cancer). After this 2-step process, I sat there and couldn’t stop touching my legs, they were so soft I didn’t recognize them as mine!!!
Seriously. When I was getting my massage, my therapist was like, “you have the softest skin I’ve ever seen”. Uh, hello!! I didn’t before, embarrassingly I’ve had dates and boyfriends comment on how my skin feels like paper (they didn’t last long). This product is totally awesome, I am so hooked!! My spa didn’t carry the Olive which has the full exfoliating level of “Power Scrub” but I ordered it online and can’t wait to power exfoliate my whole body with it. (The label does warn against over usage, twice a week is the recommendation but did I listen? Do I ever follow instructions??). You have to try this!!
