• Fresh's Brown Sugar Body Polish

  
  

  
  

  
  One of the things I purchased from Fresh was their famous Brown Sugar Body Polish.  Like I’ve said, I have super dry skin and have “chicken skin” on my arms.  When I walked in the door, they were having this huge sale on this package for only $75:

  I felt a little silly for buying this all for me, but it was such a steal! The Brown Sugar Body Cream costs $35, the Body Polish costs $65 and the soap is worth about $13. (Total value being roughly about $100, since the lotion size is a bit smaller)

  First up: the Body Polish
  

   

  This exact same size usually costs $65 alone!
  

  Pros:
  

  - It smells HEAVENLY! I’m very sensitive to smells, but this one smells like grapefruit/lemon/sugar.  Actually, the smell might be a bit TOO potent while you’re in the shower, but once you’re wearing clothes and walking around, I think it makes a good “perfume.”
  - It does give your body a nice, moisturized feeling, so it’s GREAT for dry (body) skin!
  - The amount is huge! I think this would last for over a year!
  - I like the fact that this is a somewhat natural/organic product and I’m not using some dermatologist recommended concoction to solve my dry skin problems.

  Cons:
  - It’s messy! I’ve seen this complaint on an Amazon product review.  It’s true that you will need to quickly rinse the tub area because of the oils.
  - It’s really expensive. Honestly, if I didn’t have all that store credit I totally would have not purchased this item. I don’t think it’s worth it at all! Aveeno + H2O products work just as well.
  - If you really cannot stand fruity/sugary smells, this is TOTALLY not the product for you!

  Some people say that the oils in the product are so rich that you don’t need lotion! Pretty intense oils, you say? Yes, it is FILLED with a certain type of oil. But the sugar-ness of it makes me want to eat it. Yum.

  Have you used this Fresh product? Do you like the Fresh brand? Would you try it?
