Haus of Gloi - Saft Ernte Bubbling Scrub Review

Hous of Gloi body and bathing products seem meet universal approval in the blogasphere.  I've been keen to try one for myself, so I finally succombed and ordered Saft Ernte Bubbling Scrub.  It came to around $17 including shipping, which is about £11.  The scent is described as:

"a merry drink of harvest and glowing with warmth: peach juice simmering with sweet spices, pumpkin, silken hazelnut cream and made completely curious with a drop of orange blossom water"
 


What can I add to this fantastic description?  Not much really!  It smells peachy, nutty and sweet, but not over-powering.  It smells lovely when you use it on your skin, and although I don't think it lingers on my body, the scent does linger in my bathroom.  I've used this a couple of times now and both times, several hours later caught a whiff of it when going back into my bathroom.


As for the scrub itself, well I'm not a body scrub connoisseur - I'll leave that to Mrs Skin Scrubs as facial scrubs are more my area.  However, I really like it.  I'm not a religious scrub user, but I know what I do and don't like.  I like a nice a scratchy scrub, but not too scratchy and I dislike any scrub that leaves an oily residue on my skin.  On both these fronts, Safte Ernte performs well.  It's thick and a little goes a long way - I can see this lasting a long time.


After I've used it, my skin feels amazing - really polished and smooth and ready to moisturise (which is absorbed really well after using this scrub).  I've also used it before shaving my legs and it really prepares the hairs on my legs prior to shaving - I got a really good, close and clean shave.


Unfortunately, this was part of the autumn/Halloween collection, so is currently not available to buy.  However, there are many other fragrances available from Haus of Gloi, including limited edition Christmas collections.  Haus of Gloi products are all vegan and cruelty free. I wish I wasn't on a spending ban at the moment, otherwise I'd be purchasing plenty more.  This is definitely a skincare company I'll be going back to in the future!

Thanks for reading!

  2. I just got another order from Gloi it was my last thing I bought before my ban. Next time you want to get something from them I'll place an order for both of us. I did that with Jude and my mate Christine and it works out cheaper!
