The Body Shop Peppermint Cooling Foot Lotion

*The Claims for the Peppermint Lotion* 

Best if you want to: Soften and revive your rough, tired feet with a skin-smoothing moisturizer that also cools and deodorizes—a customer favorite since 1985!
Best for: all skin types
How it works:

• Community Trade peppermint oil promotes a cooling sensation to leave feet feeling refreshed and helps to combat odor, while menthol further cools skin to leave it feeling refreshed.
• Community Trade cocoa butter is an excellent moisturizer that melts at body temperature.
• Sweet almond oil is rich in essential fatty acids that help to restore skin’s moisture barrier, so skin is smooth and supple.
• Grape extract is a fruit acid that has skin smoothing and gentle exfoliation properties.

 *My Experience with the Foot Lotion Set:*

•  Price: 250mL bottle of lotion by itself would cost $16...but I got this set for free. Thanks Jen A. and Laura C. for this beautiful Peppermint Cooling Foot Lotion package from The Body Shop!
• Effectiveness: I love the lotion because it relieves the achiness from my legs and feet.  The peppermint oils and herbal infusion in the lotion provides a cool, tingly, and soothing sensation upon contact and lasts for a good 10 minutes.  It's like an instant Tylenol for my tired legs and feet. The lotion is super hydrating but lightweight. The product sinks into the skin very quickly; no mess or grease.
• Scent: Yummy pepermint
  
• Bottom line: A must have! I would defeintly purchase this lotion and I highly recommend friends and family to check the Peppermint Lotion out. =)
• Grade: 9.7/10

Review: The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Line

First, I like to apologize for the poor quality of my photos. I took them on my cell phone camera. Above is a photo of my Tea Tree Oil stash. I very much enjoy their line of product. It works well for my combination skin.

2 photos of the Tea Tree Oil Face Mask (110 g; 100 ml). I bought this product on sale in the Fall for under $15 CAD. It is great item, I use it once a week. One tub has lasted me for 5 months. This mask controls blackheads quite well, and leaves my skin feeling smooth. Every time I put the mask on, there is a tingly feeling. That cooling sensation feels great!

This is The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Blemish Fade Night Lotion (30ml). I bought this item on sale, so it cost about $12. I would highly recommend this product; controls oil on my face, doesn't clog my pores, and it prevents new blemishes. I didn't mind the tea tree oil smell, although my brother disliked it very much. This product ran out very quickly for me which was quite disappointing. I used this item everyday and it lasted for approximately a month.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Wash (250 ml) for less than $15; again I bought this item when it was on sale. I use this face wash 2 times a day, and it lasts for me about 4 months. It foams up nicely, and the smell grew on me. It is a nice cleanser, but it does not remove all 'impurities' (i.e. makeup) from my skin. After washing my face I usually use a toner. I would re-buy this product, it is effective in controlling oil, and keeping my skin in a healthy state.

Close-up of Tea Tree Oil Blotting Paper.

Tea Tree Oil Blotting Paper costs $10 CAD for a package of 2. Each package contains 65 sheets. I really, REALLY like this item. It removes shine from my face, and leaves a nice matted finish, so no more shiny skin for me. I just gently pat my face with a sheet and my skin feels lighter, and more refreshed. I carry blotting paper everywhere I go. I am addicted to this product.

Review: The Body Shop Grapefruit Body Butter

The Body Shop Grapefruit Body Butter (48 g; 50 ml) costs about $10 CAD. This product is recommended for people with 'normal skin'. The condition of my skin vary; in the winter it is super dry, and in the summer it is 'normal'. I would highly recommend this rich creamy product. I used this product daily and it lasted me for a good 4 months. It is very moisturizing, and long lasting. I love the fruity grapefruit smell of this cream. I would definitely repurchase this item again, but in a large tub (200 ml for $20).
