Caress Review and Giveaway

I was recently given the opportunity to review the new Caress’ Evenly Gorgeous beauty bars & body wash. When the box arrived, I opened it and was met with a delightful smell. Normally, I prefer scentless soaps so that they don’t compete with my perfume. However, after smelling the mixture of burnt brown sugar and Karite butter, I decided to forgo the perfume. I’m glad I did.

The Burnt Brown Sugar and Karite butter act to gently exfoliate and moisturize the skin. By exfoliating the top layer of dead skin, it enhanced the moisturizer’s performance. This serving as an added protection, leaving behind smoother even looking skin.

With this cold weather, my skin tends to dry out more rapidly, looking and feeling flaky and ashy. After using the body bar, I noted that my skin DID look smoother. My skin felt silkier, smoother… touchable. ¡Me encanto! / I loved it!

I have to admit I haven’t used the body wash yet. I’m waiting for a day when I can soak in the tub, when the boys spend a day with family. Till then I sometimes open the top just to take a whiff. Yes, I’m weird like that. ;)
