lifestyle & loves – exfoliating // babe scrub review

29th March 2014
Scrub – c/o Babe Scrub Being on Roaccutane means I have to be super careful when exfoliating. I’m not actually meant to as the treatment causes my skin to thin slightly which isn’t great when you are buffing your skin away, however I have noticed that where my face is a complete no go for exfoliation, my body seems to be able to handle it quite well. Exfoliating is something I’ve been doing as part of my beauty regime for as long as I can remember, being a tan-o-holic my skin can get dry and flakey causing it to look dull and matte. A quick full body exfoliation in the shower rids the skin of dead cells giving your skin a breath of fresh air. Sometimes when I want to give my tan a real kick up the tush I’ll have a pamper evening of exfoliation and coconut oil the night before, ready for a 10minute holiday the next day. But aside from benefiting the tone of your complexion, exfoliating has also been noted as being a great weapon in the battle against cellulite. Cellulite can be very stubborn but using a body scrub can help lessen the appearance by improving your skins circulation which in turn helps loosen excess fluid. The team over at Babe Scrub sent me a selection of the Cellulite busting, skin brightening Babe-a-licious scrubs to give a test run on my own skin. My favourite ended up being the No.2 Coffee scrub (clearly drinking my body weight in coffee isn’t enough so now I’m rubbing it all over me to get my fix) my skin felt so ridiculously smooth that I spent the rest of the day sat in the sunshine stroking my arms, yes I did look extremely odd and no that didn’t stop […]

The only downside was that I did smell like I’d had an accident in Costa Coffee for a little while afterwards but it did fade off as it mixed in the the coconut oil which was much more bearable.
I can assure you, these scrubs are going to see some serious action this Summer!

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
