Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy Sugar Scrub

Ahhhh... I product that I loved years ago in college but somehow forgot about and haven't used since. I think it is time to change that trend. At one point in my reign at Bath and Body Works, these scrubs were a special during one of the Semi - Annual Sales and I bought enough of them to get me through the next six months. The product in question is the Aromatherapy Sugar Scrub, an oil based scrub that is second to nothing in getting the old skin off and leaving your skin super soft.

The Bath and Body Works website describes the product as follows, "This skin softening scrub combines exfoliating Sugar and a special moisturizing blend of sunflower, safflower, sweet almond, and jojoba oils to leave skin silky smooth". Each scrub also contains the unique blend of essential oils in order to make the product "aromatherapy". The scrub sits in layers in the tub and needs to be mixed before use. I get best results using it in the shower on wet skin instead of before getting into the shower. Care needs to be taken when rinsing all the oils off, I tend to rinse off twice to make sure that I get all of the product off.

The scrub currently comes in several scents that fall into four categories of Aromatherapy blends. The Stress Relief line includes the best-selling Eucalyptus Spearmint, a great blend of pure eucalyptus and tingly spearmint. This is a great scent for everyone including men or people who dislike strong fragrances. The Sleep family includes the scents Lavender Vanilla and Lavender Chamomile. Lavender Vanilla is a light fragrance that I find tends more toward the vanilla than the lavender. Lavender Chamomile is heavenly, it is a very herbal blend and just smells fantastic. The Sensuality line contains two fragrances, Jasmine Vanilla and Black Currant Vanilla. The Jasmine Vanilla smells quite sweet with the jasmine oil being the much stronger of the two scents. The Black Currant Vanilla is also quite strong with the black currant being the dominant note. The Jasmine Vanilla is a long-time favorite of mine but I can barely stomach the Black Currant Vanilla. The last line is Energy, the uplifting blend of the collection. The only fragrance in this collection is the Orange Ginger, a very strong citrus scent.

The best fragrances in the Aromatherapy line are the Jasmine Vanilla, the Lavender Chamomile, the Eucalyptus Spearmint, and the Lavender Vanilla. These scrubs make a great treat for yourself or a gift for someone special. I recommend that you guys stop by Bath and Body Works and test this product out at the sink.
