I am always looking for new products to use and as this page was in my list of recommendations, I had to have a peek.

Whilst looking, I saw they were running a competition to win 100ml of their favourite; the vanilla body scrub.

I just had to enter, if not I would have been upset as having this scrub has made a desirable mark in my bathroom.

I have issues with body scrubs, I find manufactured ones are too abrasive, cause inflammation or reactions and never leave my skin feeling quite right.

My skin always appears red, sore, itchy... you name it... I had it.

So I have been actively sourcing natural products like body scrubs and moisturisers to stop these reactions due to chemicals.

I was sent a wonderful body scrub from Precious Cosmetics and just from looking from the box, you would think that was a high end, very costly product.

At only £5.99 for 100ml you can happily buy one without worry!

So it comes in a gorgeous little black box wrapped in cellophane. I am amazed how little details like this can make a product look sophisticated and inviting, you just want to rip it open and see what is inside.

Of course, I don't do that, I carefully open it as the box is too lovely to ruin, I want it to stay looking good for as long as possible.

As you can see, it is in a lovely cardboard box that is very easy to open, shall we look to see what is inside?

It contains a lovely tub which is quite weighted so there is plenty of product packed in there.

On the top there is another lid with a small pull on it which keeps the contents safe and fresh. You can always spot natural products because they mainly have one of these on as below.

When I pulled the lid off, I was hit with a delicious aroma of vanilla and nutmeg.

I love both vanilla and nutmeg, in baking and products they are so versatime and you can mix them with most things.

This is a very wintery scent, usually what my house smells of around Christmas when I am baking. I mean, come on... what is more relaxing, homely and comforting than nutmeg and vanilla?

It has quite a spicy undertone to it, crossed with the sweet vanilla... ah mouthwatering!

You can see the sugar grains and also grains of nutmeg to give it that warm colour.

I have to stress this part so please, take notice.

Any natural and homemade cosmetics and products do need to be taken care of a lot more than manufactured.

You can see it's quite a fine grain which means it won't scratch your skin. 

This can be quite painful, I have had it happen before and come out with long red scratch marks all over my body.

Coupled with the oils, it creates a barrier also so there isn't too much abrasiveness.

My feet felt fantastic and smooth too, so did my elbows and knees. My main problem areas.

To use, I simply got a tea spoon I have especially for scrubs and put a couple of dollops on my hand.

Rubbing together with a touch of water first, I then applied to my whole body in circular motions.

I kept doing this until the sugar had melted.

You can do in areas first, legs, arms and so on... but I like to get it all done in one go then leave it to soak for a few minutes then rinse off in shower.
