Cien Body Salt Scrub with
blackcurrant and caffeine (because we love coffee in all its forms) has been a
pleasant surprise. Don’t mean to give any spoilers and though I never intended
on buying it, I don’t regret it. Cien has some great products and it’s a pity
not to test them.
I remember there were like three
types, if I remember right, there was one with a citrus flavor, cocoa and
coconut. My choice was the one with blackcurrant and caffeine and was very
curious to test it since I had never tried a scrub like this.
The boxes were cute and even
though my bathroom was its home for some time now, neither the pack nor the writing
vanished. The box has 225 g of scrub and doesn’t occupy much space.
The peeling is supposed to use
the sea crystals, blackcurrants and caffeine to hydrate, regenerate and leave
the skin smooth. A nice bonus was that it has effects in the treatment of cellulite.
You have to apply it on your wet skin and massage it aright. Probably the
massage part benefits the skin and has a connection with anti-cellulite fight.
The substance is of a violet-pink
with tiny black spots that are the seeds of the blackcurrants. The peeling,
taking into account that it has salt, it’s very easy to apply and isn’t harsh
on the skin. For me, the best quality this product has it’s the smell. It smells
so good that you’ll take your time to admire it.
Another thing I appreciate about
it is that after using it and getting dried, the skin is indeed hydrated and
smooth. I’m picky when it comes to body lotions and all creams that have the
purpose to hydrate any other part than the face, but with this peeling I didn’t
even feel the need to apply anything else.
All things have a bad part and
this peeling is no exception. However, it’s not as bad as it looks. The only
problem is you have to be careful how much product do you use; the rinsing can
be a caring job. It takes a lot of water, but you get more time surrendered by
that awesome smell and we all know aromatherapy relaxes a person. So instead of
seeing it as a waste of time, try and think of it as a way to spoil yourself.
Will I ever buy it again? Probably yes, I mean it’s not a permanent
product among my store’s Cien stand, but if it’ll ever come back, I’ll buy it
again. If the scents are the same as this time then my choice would still be
this one, with the blackcurrant and caffeine because the other ones aren’t my
personal preference. If they decide to test some new types then salute Cien!
Until next time, take care of
yourself and your skin.
