Tropic Skincare - Body Smooth Refreshing Polish

Body Smooth Refreshing Polish
£24, 200ml

The first Tropic product I want to talk about is the lovely Body Smooth Refreshing Polish. I tell everyone about this product when I talk to them about Tropic because I love it! Everyone should try it! This bestselling, award winning body scrub is the founding product of Tropic Skincare. Back in 2004 when founder and CEO Susie Ma was just 15 years old, she took 50 jars of her freshly made batch of body scrub to Greenwich Market in London and sold every single one! It was that summer she realized she wasn't alone in her passion for fresh, natural skincare and spend the next few years devoting her nights and weekends (alongside studies) to formulating recipes and adding more products to the range. 



Body Smooth comes packages in a plastic jar (for safety in shower) with a wooden spoon to help scoop out the product. Containing mineral-rich organic sea salts to buff away dead skin cells and a super softening blend of golden jojoba macadamia and organic rosehip oils to deeply moisturise skin. 
One of the things I love about this body scrub is the uplifting smell. Australian lemon myrtle, bergamot and lime essential oils are used to create a lovely citrus-fresh, invigorating scent.


To use: Gently massage onto dry skin before your shower or bath, focusing on any rough or dry areas. Rinse away with warm water and massage the remaining oils into your skin. To deeply nourish your skin, follow with your favourite Tropic body oil, Body Love or Whipped Body Velvet. 

I find this scrub works well at removing dead skin cells and the oils remaining on the skin are great as a leg-shaving oil.  I was worried initially about using this scrub as I found the Beauty Pie SHS Body Polish to be too oily on the skin (recent empties post) and thought this one might be the same, but I am happy to say this one is completely different! The remaining oils absorb nicely onto the skin leaving it feeling super soft and nourished. Not only is Body Smooth a great all over body exfoliator, it is also ideal for using on hands for any keen gardeners or decorators to keep hands in tip top condition.

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. This ba

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen. Alteya's Whole

Sukin Blemish Control Kit

My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big difference withi
