Bath and Body Works True Blue Spa Malibu Body Products

Earlier in the spring months, we looked at the Bath and Body Works True Blue Spa Malibu Wave Spray for the hair.  This is the first product that I saw in the line and I have been using it on and off over the past month, with my hair being cut much shorter, I don't quite like the textured hair look as much as I did when it was much longer.  I might put the wave spray away until my hair is longer but I am excited to report that I have found the matching body product line on the company's website and I bought both of the products in the collection already!  So far, I have been using both the body scrub and the matching cream and I can safely state that I will be using these two great body products all summer long.

First we will start off with the body scrub, this scrub is great for use with self-tanners to help even out rough areas and refine the pigmentation.  The product is named the Malibu Smooth Body Scrub and it is a light, foaming scrub that can be used twice to three times a week.  "The secret to an even, golden tan?  Exfoliation.  Whether you're hitting the beach or faking it with sunless tanner, this spa-tacular formula with walnut shells lets you start with a super-smooth canvas.  Algae Extract and Vitamin E nourish skin to keep it soft and healthy looking.  Irresistibly creamy, tropical citrus fragrance."  This scrub smells like a mix of orange and coconut, a new favorite scent of mine!  This product provides a very light exfoliation and foams up to rinse cleanly and without any residue left behind.  I recommend this scrub before fake tanning because of how well it rinses, the last thing that you want on your skin before using a tanner is an oily residue that doesn't allow the tanner to fully sink in and develop.  I use this product once to twice a week and haven't had any dryness issues with it (some scrubs can really dry my skin out even when I use them only once a week).  This is one of my favorite scrubs from Bath and Body Works and I will using this scrub all the way into winter months since the scent is so heavenly.

The matching body cream is another one of my favorite products to use with a tan, the gold shimmer in it is perfect to use at night or when laying on the beach.  The Malibu Radiance Whipped Body Cream is a light fluffy cream that hydrates without leaving any type of greasy residue on the skin.  "Pamper your skin with this whipped body cream.  This lightweight, moisture-rich formula is perfect for after-sun use.  It helps replenish beach-bronzed skin with healthy moisture while a subtle shimmer gives you a sultry, radiant, post-sun glow.  Avocado Oil and Shea Butter provide nourishing moisture.  Ultra-lightweight, whipped formula spreads effortlessly onto skin.  Irresistibly creamy, tropical citrus fragrance."  This product leaves behind the loveliest gold shimmer and makes me feel like a Victoria's Secret supermodel when I use it before going out. 

I really hope that this line is not a limited edition and stays around throughout the fall and winter months.  The fragrance of these two products is wonderful and I would keep using it during the winter months to ward off the blues created by the snow and cold weather.  I wish that a perfume would be released in this fragrance, I would buy it right away and use it all during the summer.  On the Bath and Body Works website, I do see that these two products are available in a giftset format with a self tanning lotion also included with it.  When I go to rebuy these two products, I will look for the set in the store since it also contains the Bronzing Self Tanning Lotion that I use all summer long. True Blue Spa is one of the best lines that this company carries and I have been using their products since I was in college and I will continue to rebuy the Spa products as long as I can get my hands on them.
