Tree Hut

I've always been a big fan of the Tree Hut body scrubs, but this one was quite disappointing. It has a nice scent of cherry blossom, but it's very thick and sometimes hard to get out of the tub. For some reason, it leaves my skin feeling oddly warm and irritated, which I really don't care for. It feels like it was burned by something. It just doesn't feel nice afterward, and I would rather use their normal sugar scrubs over this one.

Tree Hut scrubs are simply the best scrubs available at this affordable price point. I think that all the formulas are great. This Belize Breeze is a light blue tint and smells like a "cool" blue scent with a hint of coconut. I am not a fan of this scent, but the sugar scrub formula itself is fantastic. My skin looks and feels softer and smoother after using this. I am able to get a much closer shave after using this on my legs. It rinses away easily in the tub too.

So this is not the scent I have right now, (I have used this scent before though), but I think all scents of this scrub have some sort of weird chemically after smell. I have the Mocha scent and I remember this Brazilian nut one had the same "after scent". I will say I like the formula of the Mocha, I like rough yet finely milled scrubs that have a higher grit to oil/emulsion ratio. I feel like if there's too much oil or emulsion you don't get a thorough enough of an exfoliation. I tried the Brazilian nut one back in '15 and I feel as if the formula has improved (?) Could be totally wrong.
Cons: the weird chemically after smell that I'm pretty sure is present in all of their scrubs, ALMOST doesn't feel moisturizing enough
Pros: I feel as if the formula has improved: more sandy grittiness so a better exfoliation, your skin is still left soft, smooth, and clean but no oiliness. and I don't think you'll break your neck after using this (as in, no oily residue left on your shower floor.

However, I will not buy again. My fave all time scrub is Shea Moisture. Yes, it leaves an oiliness on both your shower floor and on your skin, but their "grit" factor is on point, their scents are on point, and I personally like a little bit of oiliness leftover on my skin after a sugar scrub. If I can find a shea sugar scrub recipe that replicates there's, that'd be even better!

I agree with the previous reviewer that this is a terrific lip scrub, and it's my new favorite. I was a bit worried about the peppermint oil - it's a known skin irritant - but since the scrub is not designed to be left on the lips it's not a problem. And it tastes like a peppermint candy cane. The container is quite small, but I've used it three times and barely made a dent so it's going to last a long time. No complaints whatsoever. I will repurchase.

I was surprised by the scent of this. I expected it to have more of a vanilla scent. Instead to me, it is gardenia with a hint of mild vanilla. Tree Hut's fragrances can be strong, but this one is mild for sure. As with all Tree Hut scrubs, it is an effective granular exfoliant that leaves my skin soft and smooth without a bath tub ring.
