I was fortunate to receive a scrub from Perlier on HSN, an Italian luxury brand. If you're like me and have never heard of Perlier, I found this from their website that explains better than I ever can.

Thoughts: I'm always searching for the best scrub for my skin. So when I got the opportunity to try this product, I could not pass on it. Before I talk more about this product, let me explain my weird body. With the naked eye, it looks like I have no issue with my skin. It looks healthy and smooth. Unfortunately with touch, it's a different story. It's not smooth at all and you feel bumps that you cannot see with the naked eyes.

Now for the product...

Here's a closer look at the scrub. The packaging, as well as, the color of the scrub draws my attention. It's such a beautiful, calming blue.

Here's how the scrub looks on my hands. Can you see the different sized particulars?

I took a picture of the scrub after rubbing it into my skin for couple of minutes. Some particles were still visible, whereas, some weren't.

Now for my overall opinion... The first thing I noticed was the packaging. I think the packaging is very convenient. It's easy to open especially in the shower while my hands are wet. This is important or at least for me. There are times I cannot open a product because my hands are full of moisture. I also find this product easy to dip my hands into to grab the scrub. Plus, it doesn't hurt that the packaging and the color of the scrub is pretty. Secondly, it smells fresh. I'm not too sure what it reminds me of, but it's really cooling and calm. I guess that's perfect for spa-like scrubs. Other than the packaging and scent, I found the product easy to use. There are times I used this scrub with my hands, and other times with Asian style scrub-like towel. It's easy to spread and massage onto my skin. Personally, this might only be me, but I don't have all the time in the world to scrub my body. With the smaller particles, it dissolves quickly and I don't have to worry about it. The big particles is another story. It takes some time. The positive is that people are focusing and stimulating their skin. The negative is that it doesn't dissolve fast enough. Since I'm not patient enough, I just wash it off. Now for the most important factor, post-shower. My skin feels softer and I don't need to apply that much moisturizer. I'm sure some people don't need to but I still do. It's just my routine after I shower. I like to moisturize head to toe. I also noticed the bumps by touch is less, but it's still there. It's better than I had before.

* Simple, easy to use packaging.

* Smells fresh.
