The Body Shop Argan Body Care - review.

You may remember me writing about some of The Body Shop's Wild Argan range before. I still swear by the lip balm I featured there, it's the only thing that has kept my lips super soft and smooth after a dry spell I'm currently still battling with, and it repaired them really well and also really fast.

So when a couple more new products turned up on my doorstep I was excited to put them to the test too.

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Body Butter* - £13 200ml.

The body butter now comes in a bigger size of 200ml instead of 50ml which is obviously much better value and will now last forever as you only really need a small amount. The body butter is really creamy but also quite solid (i'ts not called 'butter' for nothing) so using only a tiny amount and then just taking the time to work in into your skin really goes far. It's really perfect for troublesome areas like knees and elbows. I also use it on the tops of my arms on my healed tattoos. Also, this stuff smell incredible! It's definitely not a subtle scent but it's really gorgeous and lingers for a long time.

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Rough Scrub* - £13 200ml

I'm usually pretty dubious about using body scrubs as they can sometimes be really rough on the skin, this one is actually really soft and the 'grainy' type feeling is coated with a kind of gel, I suppose is the best way to describe it. It's alot 'looser' than other body scrubs I've used but feel really gentle and also does the exfoliating job. I've used this a few times but it's one for the shower as I hate being left with the remnants of an exfoliator in the bottom of the bath!

Using the Rough Scrub in conjunction with the body butter is the best way to get the best of both of these two products for extra soft skin - obviously!

Have you tried any of the Argan range? What is your Body Shop must-haves?

The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Range - review.

Today I want to share with you the new Wild Argan Oil range from The Body Shop. 

I was really excited to try this range as usually whenever I use Argan oil products I feel them leaving me shiny and don't soak into the skin for agess which is really annoying and gross, so I wanted to test out The Body Shop who have a high standard of great products to NOT do this. 

I am a huge Body Shop fan, when I was a kid I used to love going in and smelling and picking up the animal-shaped soaps (remember them?) and was always intrigued by their ethics for using their money to help endangered animals and working with human rights. The Argan range is no different, the Argan nuts are ethically hand-picked and then extracted using old Moroccan methods.

The Body Shop Argan Oil Body Butter* - £13
Wild Argan Oil Radiant Oil for Hair and Body* - £14

The body butter is really thick, it does take a while to absorb but it does leave your skin feeling really soft and smooth for a long time. Worth the wait if you have a while after a bath or something. 

The oil is what I was worried about it doesn't actually take long to absorb in the skin and leaves it smelling amazing! As for my hair I was scared I'd be left with greasy looking ends but not at all! It's so fine and leaves my hair feeling soft and fluffy. But bear in mind you only need a tiny bit!

The Body Shop Argan Shower Gel* - £4
The Body Shop Argan Oil Lip Balm* - £4

The shower gel doesn't have an overpowering scent but does make your whole bathroom smell amazing after use. A little goes a long way here again it's froths up well and gives a great refreshing wash.

The lip balm is my favourite product. I'ts been a life-saver in these cold weeks! It is very solid but once on it stays on for such a long time I'm left with soft lips all day.

What are your fave Argan Oil based products? I love the smell so much I really want to try a shampoo/conditioner set!
