St. Ives – the Most Used Exfoliator?
Over dinner with a couple of friends a little while ago, I was surprised to hear that they both thought that there was a major oversight on this blog. There’s one product that both of them use and had used for many years, and I hadn’t mentioned: St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Of course, I was [...]
L’Occitane’s Mud Mask Brings in the Clean
I love multi-tasking products, and this one works quite well. It’s a mask, a scrub, and best of all I can use it in the shower and still get the full benefits from using it. L’Occitane’s Face Scrub Mud, is part of their Olive Oil range of products but that shouldn’t discourage those of you [...]
Dead Sea Salt Scrubs from The Healing Bath
By Rachel Longo-Tosoian A few weeks ago, I was representing my place of employment at the Oakville Waterfront Festival. During one of my breaks, I decided to go and check out some of the vendors that were present. I came across a booth called The Healing Bath that deals primarily with Dead Sea salt scrubs. [...]
Fresh for the Summer
Now that it’s properly summer, it’s time to switch over to formulations that are light and fresh instead of being creamy, and in this regard Marcelle’s Hydra-C Complex Facial Exfoliating Gel fits the bill. Like its name says, the exfoliator is a gel with little scrubby bits in it. It’s great for using every day [...]

My favourite product though is the Biotherm Rides Repair Instant Polish. It’s a super-creamy scrub that has a lot of scrubbing particles [...]

Scrub It Off
I love a good scrub and now that summer is almost here, we all want our skin looking extra-flawless. Scrubbing regularly is the best way to help you get there – it’s best after a long winter and before a nice hot summer. I know that although scrubs run out so quickly and aren’t necessarily [...]
Trillium – best scrub ever?
Although Mother’s Day is a ways away, there are a couple of products I feel I should tell you about now, because they’re ones that you might want to order online for your mother. When I think of what mom’s like, I think of pampering and luxury, but things also have to be quick and [...]
It’s All About the Lips
Today, we talk about several lip products – most of them common and well-known. Lets start with the Tarte Lip Scrub, called FRXtion. I got this in a goody bag and I’ve been trying it for the past little while. One side is a balm, while the other is a sugar scrub that you rub [...]
