i tried to like body scrub, but somehow it feels too harsh on my skin. i tried to buy smaller size in different variant so i can finish it, but still.. i don't like it either. so i decided to try body polish. i remember i once saw that body shop has a body polish and they said it's less harsh than the body scrub. i was going to get it on my birthday, but somehow i missed it and forgot to get one while i managed to get others. so when i was feeling down, i decided to get the peeling gel and this body polish. unfortunately there are only two variants, so i pick the strawberry one as i'm sure i'm okay with the scent.
this is the description from their website: smooth and soften your skin as you gently buff away dead skin cells with our strawberry body polish. your skin will feel more silky-soft and nourished with long lasting moisture. body exfoliator, gently refines skin, skin feels softer and smoother. cold-pressed strawberry seed oil, honey sourced from ethiopia.

| the tube |
the packaging: i bought this straight from the store, so it comes in a big squeeze tube with a black plastic flip top. it's transparent so i can see the product from the outside. there's a label at the back with description in indonesian and the complete ingredients list as well. it comes in 200 ml which is quite a big size considering last time i bought a small size of body scrub. let's hope i could finish this one.

the scent: it smells like a sweet candy. i think the scent is similar to other strawberry body product from body shop. personally i don't mind with the scent. so far i like all strawberry body products from the body shop.

| how it looks like on my hand |
the product: it's a scrub mixed in a gel. reddish transparent gel with red scrub bits. it spreads easily. i use body brush to apply it on my back and other body parts. the scrub is not as harsh as the usual body scrub that i used before, so i think i'd be okay with this one.

the result: well, it does what it's supposed to do. and it doesn't feel harsh on my skin. obviously it feels rough, but it's normal for a scrub. but it doesn't hurt as much as before. afterward, my skin feels soft and smooth. and a bit moisturized, but not super moist like the shea butter variation that i tried before.

i hope i can finish this one on time. i like how it comes in a tube and in gel form as it's easy to squeeze it out of the tube and spread it on my body, so i guess using it regularly wouldn't be as difficult as before. if you're looking for a body scrub product that's not so harsh, then you should try the body polish. it comes in two variations, the strawberry and on orange one. just pick the one that you like the scent better. price wise, body shop might be a bit expensive, but they often have sales, and you can bring the bottles back for points. they're also cruelty free if you're into that sorts of things. as for me, let's see if i could finish the whole bottle before repurchasing.
