Cool Mint Lemonade Salt Scrub

Several years ago, I found this product at a chain drugstore, bought it, and loved it. When I went back to purchase more, the product had disappeared from the shelves.Recently I had found myself wishing for an exfoliating scrub again and I had a sudden flashback to the fresh, invigorating scent and tingly clean feeling I'd gotten from this product and was overjoyed to see that Amazon carried it. I wished it came in a single-pack, but after telling my mother how fantastic this scrub is, I ended up sending her the second one. In the future, I don't think I'll be bothered by buying it in the 2-packs, since I'm going through this container pretty quick.I do have to address the "film" that several reviewers mention. When I wash off all the salt, there is a definite coating left on my skin. But as a person with very dry skin, I find that it reduces the amount of lotion I need to apply. And in my morning routine, by the time I'm getting dressed, the thin layer that's advertised as "essential fatty acids, necessary to smooth, repair and help heal skin" has already absorbed into my skin. I absolutely love that feature of this product, and I honestly think that it's what made this scrub stand out as exceptional. It's definitely one of the reasons that I came back and found it after 4 years.Overall, I absolutely love this product and I'll definitely keep buying it.

I love the smell of this! It's more moisturizing, than exfoliating. I'm used to the sugar scrubs without oil. This is nothing like that. It's pretty greasy actually, but your skin feels super soft after using it. I would be very cautious using this, because it makes the tub slippery. If you're prone to falls, I would just stay away from this product all together. I do love the cooling effect from the peppermint oil.

I have dry skin and believe in the benefits of exfoliation daily, so I have tried practically every salt and sugar scrub on the market. After testing all different types, Giovanni Salt Scrub in Cool Mint Lemonade is my favorite...I even signed up for auto-delivery with Amazon! It has a grainy texture which is not too harsh or too mild and it also bathes your skin in a luxurious oil that soaks into your newly exfoliated skin to keep it extra moisturized. The best thing about this scrub is the amazing fragrance of the mint lemonade, when mixed with the steam from your shower, it is exhilirating and leaves the bathroom fragrant for a long time. I highly recommend this scrub and the Amazon auto-delivery of a two pack is a great deal!

Very bad smell and way to thick, leaves everything oily! It made my skin smell so bad I had to get back in the shower and prewash. The hot chocolate scrub is much better.

I like this scrub - other reviewers mentioned that it leaves a film behind, but I think it's more like a light layer of an oily finish. I actually like that - it almost feels like when you use coconut oil on your body. I have not found it difficult to wash off either. The product is very "fresh" and lemony - and you can clearly see (and smell) the mint leaves throughout. It looks exactly like lemonade-mint sorbets that I used to make.The container is big, which I don't care for because it takes up so much room on the bathtub ledge, and there is some decorative "dead space" in the walls of the container that contributes to that. It's not a huge deal.It's a nice product though.

I have purchased this for myself, my mother, 2 of my sisters, and keep it in my guest shower as well. Everyone who has used it has been amazed at how wonderful it is. I have gotten several people hooked on this particular item, as the smell is incredible and it leaves your skin silky smooth. I tried the chocolate version and didn't care for it, as I really love the smell and feel of the cool mint. It does not leave a greasy mess like some scrubs do and it does a fantastic job on your skin. Highly recommended!

Has a delightful mint cooling sensation which I liked after a long hot day outside. But I'd probably hate this in the winter time because it really cools down your skin, even long after being rinsed off. If a cooling sensation isn't your thing, or you like a more abrasive scrub, skip this one.

My skin is never dry since I started using this. I find that using this in the shower has a much more lasting moisturizing effect than using a body moisturizer. I like the lemony scent, which might seem a little strong when you are in the shower, but dissipates quickly afterward. The sea salt has a slight exfoliating effect, but is not nearly as sandpapery as other sea salt scrubs I have tried. I also find it less oily.The label indicates the product is "USDA certified organic, 100% vegetarian ingredients, No animal testing," and contains no parabens or dyes.
