Giovanni Cool Mint Lemonade Salt Scrub with Crushed Mint Leaves by Giovanni, Body Scrubs Review

9.0

If you like the smell of mojitos, this fat, angled tub could be your favorite new wake-up call. When smoothed on wet skin, Giovanni Cool Mint Lemonade Salt Scrub invigorates your senses with mint, lemongrass and grapefruit oils. Large granules of organic sea salt deeply exfoliate and rinse off easily, leaving behind a decadent, moisture-rich coat of oil and vitamin E. Bonus: Though it intensely tingles sensitive areas, it magically banishes ingrown hairs and red bumps pre- or post-shave. Oh, and hide it from your man. (Mine's gone through half the tub already!)

Too cool for winter, save it for summer
teshie (396 reviews)

This stuff sloughed off dead, itchy skin and left a cooling oil and wake-me-up tingle in its wake. The minty, sage-y, citrusy smell underscored by the salt reminded me of my childhood in a tiny town on a bay. Although potent in the shower, the smell faded quickly, as did the oil. I wish the oil had been more nourishing. I needed a lot of post-shower lotion and my skin still itched like crazy. — 2 years, 11 months ago
