BioCare BANANA Scrub - Review

Hi Everyone,

I'm here to share a review on a product that I've been loving for the past couple of months. It might not be from a very well-known brand but the BioCare range has quite a following! Today I will be reviewing the BioCare BANANA Scrub.




Packaging – The scrub comes in a simple plastic tub with a white coloured lid. When the lid is removed, the tub has a foil & plastic covering which protects the product inside. Once that is removed, you can reach the product easily.



Product claims


Price – Rs.150/- for 500ml (don't quote me on the price...sorry but its been my companion for quite some time now!)



Ingredient List 

Texture – The base cream is light-green in colour with visible walnut particles in it. The texture of the scrub is quite gritty & not really 'fine' as mentioned on the packaging. It's by NO MEANS a face scrub, as the particles aren’t finely ground & in fact, it is best used for exfoliating rough skin surfaces like elbows, legs, heels, etc. Though it says that it can be used for daily exfoliation, I'd suggest using this on the entire body, once or twice in a week, for an exfoliating routine.

The base cream on the other hand feels extremely luxurious :-) It's got this fruity fragrance of bananas that deeply moisturizes the skin, after the scrub particles have done their job. It might just make you feel like you've applied a DIY Banana pack on your body, the fragrance is THAT similar to the real thing!!!

Pros

  • Great exfoliating properties. It gives you a total scrub down!!  
  • It’s great for someone who doesn’t visit the SPA often. Fruity fragrance of bananas makes you feel like you're indulging in a fruit body-wrap.
  • Budget-friendly

     Cons
  •      Might not be easily available in stores. You can try online stores though - 
  •      Not paraben-free. 
  •      If you don't like dipping your fingers each time into the tub, you will need to scoop this out with a spatula or a spoon.
     So if you are on the hunt for a budget friendly body scrub, do give this guy a try! Let me know which body scrub you're currently using & which ones you love, in the comments section below. Maybe I'll give them a try next time!! :-) 

Until the next post, Ciao!!
