This is one of THE best products I've tried in a LONG time! Have you ever been shopping and contemplated purchasing something but you're just not sure if you need it? That's how I felt about this. I have never used a salt scrub before. I've always just used an "exfoliating body wash" once in awhile. So I was skeptical about this. I picked this up yesterday at Sephora. When I got home I jumped in the shower and started using it(after my shower I read that it says use on dry skin THEN shower...oops!!). It scratched a little but still felt good and definately SMELLED good. I ended up using a bit too much actually but it really smelled amazing!. K so anyways I got outta the shower and was AMAZED! I mean literally I couldn't believe it. Now my skin isn't dry by any means but after using this I couldn't believe what I had been missing out on! My elbows...they were SMOOTH! Earlier in the day my mom had told me I had "elephant elbows" haha. This stuff is AMAZING! My skin looks and feels completely different. Will definately repurchase again and again. Everyone should try this.

Great product! Would highly recommend esspecially if love coconut. It's one of the nicer coconut scents out there.. not to overpowering. As for the scrub itself, leaves the skin so silky smooth! However, I agree with the last reguarding using something else on the feet.

This is the BEST scrub I've tried up to this point. I love salt scrubs but have always hated how most are salt-in-oil emulsions. It's about time someone decided not to use oil. I don't care for oil scrubs because I'm always afraid of slipping in the shower and because I prefer to use a lotion afterwards to moisturize rather than having greasy oil on my skin. Sweet Coconut Milk salt scrub is a glycerin-based scrub. The scent is fabulous although it doesn't stay on your skin once the scrub is rinsed off, which is just fine with me. I've already gone through three of these giant tubs and no wonder--after a scrub, my skin is smooth and silky like a baby's bottom. Note that if you have rough spots like your feet, use an implement like a callus shaver or file to get rid of the calluses instead of a scrub. Not even a pumice scrub will smooth out extremely rough and cracked heels.

Agree with the previous reviewer in that it doesn't do that great of a job on my feet, but my feet are rough. I do like the texture, it's very smooth and not gritty. It also doesn't have a lot of oil in it which is a nice change. The scent is to die for! I would repurchase and this would be a great scrub for you if you want something more gentle but does a good job of exfoliating.

This is a very good salt scrub, although its not the best. I first tried this on my heels. It didn't do much, but my heels are pretty dry and rough. The rest of my body is a different story. This works very well, made my skin smooth and kinda smells like a cross between cocoa butter and coconut (leaning more towards cocoa butter). The tub is also enormous, which is great because this costs about $25. Another thing, this product isn't super oily. While natural oils usually work well for my skin, they often leave a nasty film on my bathtub making the surface quite slippery. Thank goodness I didn't have to worry about that with this product. The only downside to not having the natural oils (olive oil, jojoba, grapeseed, etc.) is that this scrub isn't as moisturizing as some others are.
