1.) Likes/Pros:

-High quality exfoliator

-A rich and luxurious moisturizer

-No need to use lotion after using Buffy! This is a great time-saver

-Leaves skin glowing and super soft

-Product leaves a protective film of oil on skin

-Pleasant smell (a light lavender fragrance; a natural/organic scent)

-Easy application; it just melts on contact

-The product is long-lasting and so are the results (24 hour moisturization!)

-Combats winter dryness and flakiness

-All over body use; do not use on neck or face (!)

-Doesn't clog my pores

2.) Dislikes/Cons:

-Sometimes a little too abrasive on skin

-Leaves my tub a little gritty

I wish I had more disposable income to purchase this product regularly.

3.) Uses:

I wash with a bar of soap or body wash then rinse off. I turn off the tap and use Buffy, rubbing the product *LIGHTLY* in circular motion over my elbows, knees, legs and feet. Then I rinse off the ground rice, almonds and aduki beans. I either lightly pat myself dry with a towel or allow my skin to air dry.

4.) Storage Recommendations
-In a tin or zip lock bag and in the fridge (to prevent melting)

Overall Grade: A

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).
