Sukin Australian Natural Skincare: Body Scrub

Hi everyone,

I would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has joined the Bare Beauty by Caitlin page on Facebook. I am just thrilled to see the amount of people, young and old, who want to learn more about natural products, and who are making small changes, such as switching to natural face wash, shampoo, cosmetics brands, in order to live a healthier, and in many cases, more eco-friendly lifestyle.  I am so excited to begin announcing more details later this week about the huge giveaway which is coming up soon. The amount of support I have received from New Zealand based companies and organizations has been overwhelming, and I can’t wait to show you all the products that one lucky winner will be receiving! If you have not joined the Bare Beauty by Caitlin community on Facebook yet, please feel free to head over to the page HERE! I will be running competitions throughout the year, and will also be posting my reviews and guest interviews here too. I look forward to hearing from you!

 Okay, so let’s get to the review!

Recently, Health 2000 was running an awesome promotion in store. If you purchased one of Sukin Australian Natural Skincare’s new ‘Sunless Bronzing Gel’, you could get a full-size body scrub free! I was keen to try out both products, so I took up the offer. Today I will be reviewing the gorgeous purifying scrub!

 Sukin is an Australian based natural skincare company that bases its values on being chemical free and environmentally conscious while caring for your skin, hair and body. They create natural products that are effective and affordable, and that only include high quality ingredients. ALL Sukin's products are free of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES), synthetic fragrances, animal derivatives, harsh detergents, propylene glycol, artificial colours, triethanolamine, mineral oils, EDTA and parabens. As well as this, Sukin Skincare is a 100% certified carbon neutral business. All their products are packaged in an environmentally friendly way and are also recyclable. Sukin products are 100% VEGAN.

 I will be the first to admit, I often forget about exfoliating my body. I do use a facial exfoliant once or twice per week; however, I usually just use my regular shower gel instead of using an actual scrub product, therefore, I was interested to see how my skin felt and looked after using it.

 The first thing that impressed me about the purifying body scrub was the scent. The combination of aloe vera juice, chamomile, rosehip and jojoba made this product perfect for early morning starts. The tangerine and mandarin orange oil, also gave the product a really refreshing, zesty smell without being too overpowering, which I thought was perfect for an invigorating body scrub. Another thing I liked about the scrub was the consistency. The granules of crushed walnut shell were not too harsh on the skin, and because the scrub also had a creamy based lotion in it, it made my skin silky smooth for atleast a couple of days after using it.

Rating: I really loved using my Sukin purifying scrub. After just one use, I noticed a considerable difference in the way my skin felt and looked. This product made my skin feel silky smooth, even around my ankles and knees, for at least a couple of days, and it looked great with the Sukin fake tan applied over top. I also noticed that my skin absorbed body lotion and oil a lot faster, which also added to the result of having silky, smooth legs. Because this product does have to be applied to damp skin, and massaged in thoroughly, it did add a couple of minutes to my shower time. However, that didn’t bother me, as you only need to exfoliate your legs 1-2 times per week, and the results that you get from using it are fantastic! I am giving this product a 10/10! It has been one of my favourites so far, and I will definitely be re-purchasing in the future.

Where can I find it?
Sukin is available in Australia, Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and New Zealand! However, if you do not live in any of the listed countries, it can be purchased online. Please follow the link below to find a retailer near you!
