pureSCRUBS Cucumber Salt Scrub

I’m so impressed with this body scrub! The citrus scent is absolutely refreshing, and the clean ingredients make me feel great about using it. The jar is generously sized, and even though it’s a bit pricey, you really do get a lot, plus a little goes a long way. I noticed a difference in my legs and arms after just one use, my skin felt softer, smoother, and much more moisturized. It’s perfect for tackling dry skin, leaving it silky soft and hydrated. Excellent exfoliator and worth every penny!

I like to take care of my skin. I am a redhead, I like to be outdoors and I like a little color to my skin. So I moisturize a lot. I use lotion daily and I use this sugar scrub about twice a week. I've tried other scrubs and although they were nice, PureScrubs tops them all. I use the coconut scent which has always been my favorite. I am currently using the dead sea type and I love what this does to my skin. The sugar is very fine, it doesn't tear at the skin. It leaves a very satisfying oily feeling afterwards right when you get out of the shower. Once you are dry, the oily feeling goes away but the skin still feels very healthy. The scent is wonderful. This might cause my man card to be taken away but I love the ocean and the tropics and this is where I vacation, so when putting on the coconut scented scrub, it takes me away. Knowing that Janna uses all organic products in her scrubs makes me feel better as well. I am very chemical aware when it comes to my foods mostly but even the products you use as well. When I had a question, Janna responded quickly which was awesome. I just used the included body soap while on vacation last week. I took the bar soap to use daily and loved it. I did not take the body scrub so this was a nice add on to have. It still exfoliates and lathers up well. I used the just bar against the body and not a rag. I also really enjoy the included loofah. Yes, another man card rip[per. The loofah is genital and feels great. I use this about ever other day with a little soap even after I already wash my body. I already have plans on ordering more!

Dead sea salts have over 26 of the purest, most potent, organic, and powerful soothing, healing, and REJUVENATING effects, not only for having great, smooth, supple skin, but also provides the most potent organic minerals, like Sodium Chloride, Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium, Potassium, and over 25 more minerals that have been preserved at the deepest part of the Dead Sea. They also provide incredible body healing, muscle repairing, toxin release, reduce DOMS(delayed onset of muscle soreness), pain relief, hydrating, nourishing effects, and can be used by many athletes to get major relief and recovery from intense workouts. Now, you take these Incredible abundant Dead Sea Salts in this Premium Organic Body Scrub, and then they provide aloe, argon oil, shea butter vitamin E, almond oil, avocado oil(which provide the absolute best healing fatty acids),....and then they infuse these vital minerals & vitamins with incredible organic scents, that absolutely leave your body and mind feeling completely relaxed, soothed, calmed, recovered, hydrated, pain relieved, and a genuine rejuvenating feeling for both Luxurious Skin, and for helping to heal and soothe the most intense athletes. I'm a boxer and mixed Martial artists and a guy who trains 6 days per week, up to 3 hours a day, and I've tried every recovery method to repair my body, and reduce pain, and I would never imagine taking 20-30 minute baths with this Premium Organic Body Scrub....and literally relieving me of my pain, reducing my delayed onset of muscle sorenes, nourishing and hydrating me....and on top of it all... the "VANILLA" Premium Organic Body Scrub smells so incredible, and the mental calming and stress relief, combined with smooth, soft supple skin, would never ever make me even think that I would be doing. But, this Premium Organic Body Scrub is legitimate. I even use a little bit of it, in my Room Diffuser and Humidifier because the Dead Sea Salts are vital for cleaning out my respiratory and Cardiovascular system, and I can leave it on for hours with the incredible Vanilla smell. So far, I've taken more baths than I have in over 10 years, especially after a great intense workout. This stuff is great. It is expensive, but you pay for what u get. This is an absolute premium product with the purest, most potent, calming, healing, organic ingredients. This is the best Dead Sea Salt Product that I have ever tried. Thank you!

I have already used half of the scrub. It works great! My skin was soo soft and it smells very good! I used it after I bathed

Very, very pleased with this scrub! I was a bit skeptical from some of the more negative comments in the reviews, but I decided to take a chance because the brand impressed me with their use of simple, pure ingredients and my overall perception of their dedication to making a quality product (They even email you a ‘tips/how to’ that I found very informative and I recommend you should read it before using, especially if you’ve not had experience with this kind of product before). I had researched other similar scrubs on Amazon and one or another either failed for me because of some additive to their ‘all natural’ product (like micro beads) or if the quality was there, pureSCRUBS beat them out for me on value. Most of the quality scrubs come in either 10 or 12oz sizes and for a similar price, this is a generous 16oz. Not to mention the little freebees of the oatmeal soap, spoon and loofa was a nice touch. I purchased the Dead Sea Salt Cucumber scrub. Here’s my overall comments on it: Most negative reviews stated the scents were overpowering. In the container, yes. It is highly concentrated, BUT during application in the shower, it mellowed quite a bit and was wonderful. Very ‘aroma therapy’. I can understand if someone is highly sensitive to scents, then this might not be for you or maybe try the unscented version. But give it a chance during application and I think you’ll see the difference. A little goes a LONG way. The little spoon they include is actually quite accurate I found for portioning out the scrub. For me, a rounded scoop worked perfect for applying one to each arm, leg and about two for my body. Everyone is different, but I’d recommend start there, but that seemed to be fine. Is it oily? Yes. This seemed to be another common complaint. Keep in mind these are pure essential oils and salt. That’s it. Again, my recommendation is use sparingly and while you will feel like you have grit and oil on you, after rinsing with warm water and patting dry, you just end up feeling ‘soft’. I felt very refreshed and ‘spa treated’ after using. And yes, your shower floor will get oily. Is what it is...but next time I might try putting down an old towel to soak up some of the oils. Can be rinsed out after and I think will reduce it sticking to the shower floor, but this wasn’t too bad for me. I didn’t give this 5 stars as the one thing I think the brand can improve on is packaging. Several complaints mentioned leaking in shipping. I as well had this problem. Wasn’t horrible, but the oil had leaked out and the outside of the product box was oily. I would challenge pureSCRUBS to come up with more secure packaging as this being a mail order product. (Amazon is doing you no favors by shipping in a cheap thin plastic bag the product was tossed in, as how mine arrived.) So if you haven’t already, please pureSCRUBS work on better sealed packaging for your wonderful product. Overall I enjoy the cucumber scrub very much. Based off my positive experience, I do plan on trying a few more scents. While this might not be for everyone, I personally recommend giving it a try if you are looking for a really nice product to give yourself that ‘pampered spa’ treatment. Thank you, pureSCRUBS.

UPDATE: Jar style has changed to a flip lid wirh rounded edges and a foil seal. I like that you no longer have to find somewhere to put your lid while using the product but I don't like that it's a bit less secure for travel. I do miss the gasket that wrapped around the jar as nothing else has made me feel more secure about oil not leaking out. I'm sure part of the change was to save money and effort in including that though. I also seem to be getting scrathes more frequently than I have before. The product doesn't seem to be changed, perhaps my skin has become more fragile. Original Review: I have been using these scrubs consistently for about a year. My preference is the Dead Sea Salt scrub but I have also tried the Himalayan Scrub and the Brown Sugar Scrub. My overall thoughts are that this is the best salt scrub I have used in terms of not being overly oily (no slippery tub), leaving some light moisture (not enough to coat your towels and clothes in oil after your shower), and for the salt to not be too harsh against the skin (save the face), but mostly I purchase this producted because there's an unscented option. Overall, I do appreciate the love that goes into this product and brand. Jenna, the owner, is very responsive to communication, and clearly cares about the customer. I have to use unscented products because of my significant other's sensitivity to scent (regardless of whether it's from high quality essential oils or phthalates). I very much wanted to try the rose scent so when I contacted Jenna to see if it'd be possible to try just a small sample to in hopes it would work, she was kind enough to send me a full jar since she didnt have sample sizes. You can tell from the packaging and all the little extras that she is thoughtful and that's a business I am proud to support. The Options: (I have severely dry, sensitive, itchy, almost 40 year old caucasian-mediterranean mixed skin). Himalayan Salt was nice but it was more drying than the others so my skin still felt like it needed a moisturizer after use. It also left a scratch on my skin once. It required a moderate amount of mixing to keep the salt to oil ratio even with each application. Brown Sugar Scrub is the most moisturizing but the least exfoliating. This requires the most mixing to maintain the sugar to oil ratio. The sugar dissolves quickly and also slides off your skin faster than the salt which had me noticing more product waste. Dead Sea Salt Scrub is the just right of these options. It requires the least amount of mixing and offers the most balanced feel of scrub and moisture. This also left a scratch on my skin (see photo) but this happened only once in six jars of this version Out of the purchase of over a dozen jars of unscented scrub one of them smelled extra chemically. I believe this was due to the heat of August warming the plastic jar's ingredients/chemicals. Out of these same dozen only one had a very light hint of a cucumber smell, possibly from the contamination of not washing a mixing spoon thoroughly enough. It was so very light I thought it pleasant. My sensitive significant other didn't seem to notice. The rose scent (the only scented one I have experience with): Each jar has a heat shrink seal under the lid, the lid has a large rubber gasket around the the gap between the lid and jar. The jar is then placed in a box (along with the soap, spoon, loofah and a love letter) that is wrapped in heat shrink cellophane. Despite the multiple layers I was able to smell the rose scent through the shipping box as it sat outside on my doorstep. This was during Fall on the East Coast so there wasn't a case of heat intensifying the release of volatiles. It was so strong I had to remove the packaging from my enclosed kitchen trash can and leave it outside until I could dispose of it. The jar was soon to follow because the smell was just so strong. I thought I could mix a tiny bit to my unscented jars just to give a nice bit of aroma therapy to my shower but I couldn't keep it in my home long enough. For anyone sensitive, I suggest just getting the unscented and putting a drop of essential oil inside. The Extras: I didn't need or care about the extras... until they came. The spoon has been so helpful in mixing the product, using the right amount, not wearing off nail polish by grabbing it with your fingers, looking adorable, etc. The soap is nice but not nicer than Sapp's oatmeal soap, available in all Whole Foods and the like type stores, for a fraction of the price. I keep the included soaps for travel but I wouldn't purchase more (they're $3 each - in a pack of 5 -when I can get the volume of 10 of these soaps in Sapp's version for $4). The loofah mit, I have never used and have no need for. Price: This product is expensive. The time put into it and that this is a small company that can't get the deep bulk discounts of larger suppliers is part of the reason. The extras are another obvious reason. I also believe everything could probably be better sourced, from ingredients to packaging, to reduce the overall cost. (Sourcing is difficult and time consuming). The cost of shipping - which is never free - is included. There are things that could be done to cut these costs but it's all easier said than done. It would be nice if along with the current package there was a refill in a bag option. I can keep a jar, I dont need a new spoon every time and I'm just stacking these other things up in a box in my hall closet. The Effectiveness: I like to use mits and give myself a hamam or korean type body scrub at home. Nothing is ever going to beat that, you can literally see the skin rolling off of your body. What I like about this salt scrub is that I can go further between the mit exfoliation (which adds 20 min to my shower once a week) and there is less dead skin coming off when I use this scrub in between. The scrub is also gentle enough that I sometimes use it after the mit without any problems. For the Face: To each their own but I wouldn't use any of these scrubs on my face. The granules are too large for such delicate skin. Despite the arguments on scrubs and microtears, the size means it's just not going to do much. You will get a far more effective yet much gentler face scrub by using baking soda. Better yet, invest in a skin spatula, it does wonders. The Sting: It doesn't! I have shaved first, scrubbed last and absolutely no sting at all. However, I have had some small cuts on my fingers, that does sting, but not forever and the salt will make them heal faster anyway. Overall, this is a product I will be using for years to come. If there were ever any sales on it or if the price was just a bit lower I would even buy the scrubs as gifts for all my friends and try to convert them. As it is, I keep it to myself... because $25 on a scrub vs $25 on a necklace and earring set, a new belt, a bottle of booze, etc that lasts much longer is a no-brainer.

Love this scrub for a couple times a week hand exfoliation. Leaves hands smooth and fresh for 12 hours easily, I'll usually throw some lotion on towards the end of that period and it's a nice 24-hour regimen for drier climates. Smell is fantastic too and it comes with quite a lot. I'd expect one jar to last me 4+ months of using it 2-3 times a week.

These scrubs are amazing. There are many different scents. I have tried almost all of the scents. I like the citrus and sandalwood. My favorite is the unscented and I add my own essential oil scent. The scrubs is the kind that you can actually feel your skin is moisturized when you use it. The seller is very responsive if you ever have any issues. I highly recommend this product and this seller.
