Customer Reviews

Awesome scrub, but +?!? Well maybe...
A few things:

A) It's a good scrub - the reason being is that like everyone else says, it's VERY moisturizing. I don't need lotion for 2 days after, and my skin is average-dry.

2) It will make your shower a MESS. Yes, the amazing moisture comes from tons of OIL, so watch out. You will need to at least spray your shower down after, if not wipe it. But they are nice oils...

C) The consistency to me is, eh. I think I prefer sea salt because of the finer consistency. The sugar is quite clumpy and large globs will fall off as you're using it - normally no biggie, but considering each glob is worth like, seventy-five cents! Which brings me to:

4) !!! SERIOUSLY! It took me months to finally splurge - the price is probably what piqued my curiosity in the first place! So one star off due to the ridiculous price. But a genius sales tactic.

I'd recommend it as a splurge, but a medium-priced scrub and nice lotion/body oil afterward is pretty much the same.

A Spa in a Jar - worth the money!
The Rose Mask and Body Polish are my favorite products from Fresh. When I want to have silky smooth skin, the Body Polish does the trick. The sugar works as an excellent exfoliator and the oil is just marvelous on the skin. It is admittedly pricey but worth it for those days when you want to indulge yourself.

In order to better enjoy these products, I'd recommend using a scooping instrument (a plastic spoon or something similar) and clean them between uses. For myself, I use a Japanese wooden spoon. Not only will you be able better control the oil vs. granules ratio of the Body Polish, but the product will last longer if you don't touch it directly with your fingers. I learned this the hard way and had my first jar go rancid in 4 weeks.

This is in a league all its own -- TEN STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone that gives this product less than FIVE STARS is crazy~~~ if its not the BEST product you have ever used, Hell, I will buy it back from you!!!! Yes, its a little pricey but its worth EVERY CENT!!! I go through at least 2 tubs a month-- I started on the product when I was pregnant -- I dont have a single stretch mark and I gained 75 lbs!!! I am not saying its a stretch mark cream (I know sm's have a lot to do with genetics) but it takes your skin to another level --- as for the woman that said the scent/silkiness comes over with soap....well, NO KIDDING!!! Soap and clean first and THEN you use this product

ITS A MUST HAVE

Fantastic but there are great alternatives
I normally love love love Fresh. Works great, feels amazing, smells incredible, all natural ingredients- all around religious experience that generally merits the jacked up price. And this polish is no exception.

I'll pay a lot for Fresh products because 1) they really work and 2) they're the only products I know that work. But this just isn't the case for the Body Polish. A lot of brands have kind of copied Fresh's idea. Basically any body scrub that is based on brown sugar or sugar cane and that has jojoba oil and apricot kernal oil will do all the great conditioning and resurfacing for your skin. I got a tub for 1/3 the price of Fresh at Whole Foods- the Aura Cacia.

However, if money's not a big thing for you- Fresh is still the way to go. This is definitely the best product on the market but it loses a star for being so overpriced when cheaper alternatives are out there.

Makes me feel touchable!
I LOVE this body polish. It works great to exfoliate my skin and acts like a moisturizer too. It has a sweet, lemony scent that I really like and it's not to harsh to rub in as long as you don't use it every day. I love it enough to use it that often, but it was a little much. I use it about once a week now. I feel so silky and smooth that I just love wearing clothes that expose my skin. I don't shy away from tanks tops and shorts anymore. I'm hoping someone will give me a hug or bump into me so they can see how soft my skin is! I just love it!
