On the whole I find Soap & Glory products a bit hit and miss. Aside from the products I have yet to try, there are only a few that I have tried that I will repeatedly buy, and others that I just find a bit blah.
I like thousands of others in the UK, received the huge Soap & Glory box ('pink big' tote) as a gift at Christmas. Inside were a couple of products I had never tried before, the Scrub Your Nose In It and The Breakfast Scrub. I really like the texture of The Breakfast Scrub, but I can't stand the scent. It smells like a bowl of sweet porridge. Some people may love this, but I personally can't bear body products that smell of food. I want to eat food, not smell like it. I'll use it up as though as I can't bear to waste anything, but I definitely won't be repurchasing it.
My feelings towards the Scrub Your Nose In It are the complete opposite. I think this is one of the best S&G products I have tried up to date.
What Soap & Glory say:
''Quite possibly the world’s most perfectly formulated scrub for large, clog-inclined complexions, our Scrub Your Nose In It™ is not only an impressive exfoliator, it can multi-task as a mask. It helps refine large pores and prevent blemishes. Its special fruit-acid formula leaves skin looking bright and more radiant.
Bonus! Pore purifying clay mask built-in! Just leave a thin layer on skin for 3 minutes longer for an oil-absorbing, brightening, pore cleaning mask!
What’s inside that counts?
- Diatomaceous Earth: a highly refined and purified earthy ‘dirt’ that gently lefts dead cells and debris while
scrubbing the skin and stimulating circulation
- Montmorillite Clay: a soft, white purified clay that absorbs excess oils
- Super Fruit Acids: to dissolve the glue that makes dead cells stick to the surface of the skin.''

The product itself is blue in appearance and contains finely milled grit that is perfect for the task in hand. I detest large granules, or those rubbish exfoliating beads (what are they anyway?) in a facial scrub, that do nothing at all. This scrub is neither too soft or too harsh. It is the perfect consistency in my opinion.
The scent is a rather strange but pleasing blend of citrus fruit and peppermint. When massaging into the skin you can really feel this stuff working, it makes the skin tingle and feels really refreshing. Once rinsed you are left with seriously soft and invigorated face. I couldn't believe how good my skin felt after using this for the first time. It gets rid of every trace of dead skin, clears out my pores and leaves my face feeling as soft as a babies bum!
I have been using this twice a week since Christmas and I am seriously in love. I love how smooth it makes my skin and how it brightens my complexion. The scrub is actually a scrub and mask in one. If you have oily skin, you can leave it on for a few minutes and it is supposed to help absorb excess oil etc. I have never really left it on my skin as my skin type is dry, so I can't really say if it works well for this purpose.
I also have the Soap & Glory The Greatest Scrub Of All and it seriously isn't as good as this one. The consistency isn't as perfect, and it doesn't leave my skin as smooth and soft as the Scrub Your Nose In It does. It costs £7.40 for 125ml, which seems a bit expensive, but it will lasts for many months as you only need such a small sized amount each use.
I will be re-buying this as soon as it runs out, whenever that may be? I'm so pleased I have discovered this little gem!
What are your 'stand out' S&G products?
I got the big box too. I like the formula of the hand cream but not the smell (well i don't mind it but its strong) and this facescrub. I haven't tried some yet which is bad considering how long i've had it xoxox
ReplyDeleteI love this scrub! I always stock up when S&G is on offer. It makes my skin feel really fresh and smooth, definitely a favourite :)
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm going to buy a tube! Thanks for the great review. :) x

I can't use this scrub, I got it once before and it burned my skin :( I'm allergic to some ingredient in certain skincare products (annoyingly I don't know what it is!). I LOVE S&G Hand Food hand cream and The Righteous Butter :)
