Scrub away the blues5
I got this as a gift from a thoughtful fellow Amazon friend ( you know who you are : ) ) and can't say enough good things about it! First of all this is not soap, I see some people are calling it such but I used this after using a body wash. This is a moisturizing exfoliant that is simply out of this world. This actually lasts longer than I thought it would, I don't know how people can use up this whole block during two showers...

The creamy, silky cocoa butter base is a nest for ground almonds, rice and adzuki beans from Eastern Asia. This bar is full of little scrubbing bits and once in the shower I have no problems holding onto it and the exfoliation it produces is wonderful. It's like a custom made scrub where you can control the intensity and placement of the scrubbing. With lavender and lemon oils it smells soft and cozy, but clean with the added creaminess from the cocoa butter. I will definitely be getting this again when it runs out, it's great from toes to neckline area - I would not touch it to the face, obviously. It leaves the skin smooth as glass and no lotion is needed at the end - gotta love that!

The best part is the glow; in the shower the butter melts into a super thin layer on top of the skin and water droplets collect on top, like on a well waxed car or something and the skin underneath is literally glowing. Amazing precuts and so natural too, I totally love it!

It's the best!5
I get complimented by dates for having soft skin and this is the secret. I combine it w/ Nivea Q10 lotion, which is non-greasy and the combination leaves my skin ultra-soft.

A tip in using this is to cut it up into little squares before you use it. Each little square will be 1-2 uses. If you get the biggest size, you should cut it into slabs first, then make squares out of those. It's expensive, but it'll last for quite a while if you do this.

This is THE best.5
I have some dry bumpy bits at the top of my arms that have been resistant to any scrubby product I've ever tried to use, but buffy got my skin so smooth! Amazing, and highly recommended. Soak in the tub/shower/whatever so the hot water softens up your skin, then scrub away. The small bar lasts 2 or 3 uses; the large is twice as big. The small one is more reasonably priced for people who just want to sample the stuff.

This thing has lots of great little scrubby bits in it. Ground rice, ground almonds, AND adzuku beans. Not just one, but three, and they are all super-scrubby. You'll be a little red when you're done, but it's SO worth it once you've cooled off and your skin is as smooth as a baby's bottom.

The only downside is that it makes your tub look like somebody dumped sand into the bottom of it once the thing drains. The bar melts at around 'hot water' temperature, and you're not supposed to use any moisturizer after using this stuff - but you really don't have to! The moisturizing oils in the bar really do work very well. I'll definitely be picking up a couple more of these.

The cocoa butter/lemon/lavendar scent is really amazing as well. Soothing AND refreshing, it can wake you up in the morning or calm you down at night before you go to sleep. Definitely try this thing, though, if you're looking for ultimate exfoliation plus moisturizing!
