I have no interest in being perfect, but I am interested in being humble.
Remember that time I told you about how I fell down the stairs at a very well-attended party?
If not, let me summarise for you: Picture the scene, I’m at a party with (what seemed like) a million people I went to University with, and other friends of friends, and I’m having to pretend that I’m feeling myself big time, because, for a number of different reasons, I feel insecure.
I’ve always been an enthusiastic exfoliator, and while I’m very much opposed to real life scrubs, I do think a good body polish is an essential skincare product.
I tested out this Yes to Coconuts scrub over two weeks, below is my completely impartial review.

To make this review fair and uniform with my other reviews, I have laid out 5 criteria to test this product by: Smell, Effectiveness, Convenience, Ingredients and the ‘R Factor’, the meaning of which will be revealed later…
When I unwrapped this product, the first thing I did was smell it. So many hair products have such strong smells that they really put me off using them; there is nothing worse than meeting someone for the first time and getting knocked out by an overpowering cloud of hair product. This product smells amazing, the best way I can describe it is a gentle smell of the forest with a sugary topnote, sound strange, smells amazing.
