KenzoKi Part 1-Sensual Milky Rice Body Scrub

The ‘Sensual’ fragrance from Kenzoki is based on the scent of steamed rice, soft and sensual; the soft scent of skin. I first encountered the skincare and bodycare of the KenzoKi line when Nordstrom used to carry it. It then went onto Sephora for awhile and I was thrilled that we were starting to distribute this fabulous line in the US. It is based on Japanese skin care technology and we all know and see how advanced they are; ever see a Japanese woman with bad skin? Unfortunately, it’s one of those lines that the mass markets here didn’t catch onto. But its fabulousness is not diminished because of it. It’s now only sold on Kenzousa.com, one site I visit often for replenishment of my KenzoKi products. It’s an extension of the Kenzo line and we all know and love Amour, so just imagine this scented line to be of that family, just a touch lighter and softer.

The unusual texture of this scrub will tantalize you. It’s not your typical scrub with sugar or salt grains, it contains exfoliating granules of skin nourishing beads that dissolve on the skin as you massage it in; and the base is not oil, it’s a creamy mixture of skin caring moisturizers. All you are left with is silky soft skin that is softly scented with the ‘Sensual’ fragrance. Layer on your Bare Body Night cream and you are set for soft slumber; or a day full of sensually soft and silky skin. The value is exceptional for such a superb product; you get a 6.7oz jar for $45 at Kenzousa.com

Sabon Lavender Apple Body Scrub

Lavender Apple Body Scrub

On a trip to New York City I discovered a quaint little shop full of hand made natural soaps and fell in love. I am a magnet for all things with a unique, one of a kind feel. The shop is housed in dark aged wood, with high shelves and ceiling beams for a uniquely antique feel. Huge chunks of natural soaps lined the counter top, ready to be cut, wrapped, and tied with ribbon. Jars of body scrubs and creams call out to me. I leave this quaint little shop carrying an enormous custom wrapped box full of my new found goodies. Already, I am anxious to surround myself in a tub of water, bubbles and soaps!

Out of my many “favorites” from what has now become a staple line in my bathing wardrobe, Lavender Apple Body Scrub. Little did I anticipate how I would love this yummy scented body scrub. I am not a huge fan of lavender, so I was not sold on this when I purchased it. The kind sales associate convinced me I must have it, it was the shops best seller. How was I to argue? But once I scooped out the sea salt, macadamia oil, almond oil, soy bean oil concoction and took in the decadent scent I was hooked. I left my bath that evening with smooth, silky, beaming skin scented with Lavender Apple. Who doesnt' want healthy skin that smells so pleasing?
