You know the feeling when you unexpectedly find a twenty-dollar bill in your pocket? That’s how I felt yesterday when I was rummaging around in my bathroom vanity and I came across a never even opened full size container of Bliss Lemon + Sage Body Scrub. It’s great to exfoliate once in a while to rid your skin of dead and dry cells, especially during the winter. In addition to giving your skin a healthy glow and velvety-soft feel, exfoliating also restores your skin’s natural ability to retain moisture.

The directions on the Bliss Lemon + Sage Body Scrub instruct you to “scrub your skin vigorously from shoulders to shins with a heaping handful” for at least five minutes BEFORE getting in the shower. I had to read that twice, that’s a little different the directions for most scrubs.

Not only does the Bliss scrub smell absolutely heavenly, but I was pleasantly surprised by its texture. When you see the word scrub, coarse granules come to mind. This is not the case with the Bliss scrub. The granules are small, gentle and not overly abrasive. What I really like about this scrub is that it’s not full of a ton of oils (like many scrubs), so you aren’t left with a greasy layer of gunk on your skin after rinsing.

I can’t believe this little treasure was lost for so long in the depths of my temple of groom!
