The Body Shop - The Wild Argan Oil Review



There's nothing like a new set of The Body Shop products to get a girl excited! 
So the other week, my mum went to fetch my usuals, (the seaweed collection) and got talking to one of the lovely ladies working that day, and she happened to mention that I have a blog, bless her. Anyway, the lady who was working there (her name's Rachel, working at the Solihull branch, she is an absolute gem and is so so helpful!) asked for me to come in to review some products that are launching on Tuesday!



These new products that are launching on Tuesday are the 'Wild Argan Oil' range, and the products that are included are: Wild Argan Oil Bubble Bath, Wild Argan Oil (for body and hair), Wild Argan Oil Body Butter and a Wild Argan Oil Exfoliating Scrub.



Wild Argan Oil - Bubble Bath

Wild Argan Oil - Body Butter

Wild Argan Oil - Exfoliating Scrub (Middle) and Oil for body and hair (Right)
Now, I don't usually take a liking to products very easily, I have to use them a few times before I've formed a solid opinion on them, and I suppose thats normal for most people.
However, having tried and tested these products with the three samples of each that I was given (I used them in conjunction with each other), I can safely say that I will definitely be investing in the majority of these products.

Wild Argan Oil - Bubble Bath

Bubble bath is one of those products that I get excited purchasing.. sounds strange right? Well it probably is. I usually have a lovely little collection built up courtesy of Lush, however after trying out this particular range, I have a new favourite! The fragrance is light, slightly sweet, and floral but very gentle on the skin. 

Wild Argan Oil - Exfoliating Scrub

THIS SCRUB! I absolutely love it. Seriously though, I was a bit apprehensive before using this because I'm usually quite sensitive to scrubs, and they tend to dry my skin out a lot, therefore I usually make my own, using either almond or coconut oil and a dark brown sugar. BUT, after using this twice, my skin has already started to show signs of improvement, its more supple and definitely not dry after use. The beads in the scrub are smaller than most scrubs and dissolve so much better than others that I've previously used, however still end up exfoliating your skin extremely well! As the scrub contains Argan Oil, you can actually feel that your skin is being moisturised as well as cleansed. Just like the bubble bath, the scent lasts on your skin for a good while, and is so pleasant!

Wild Argan Oil - Body Butter

I used this body butter straight after my shower, and after the scrub had been used. It has the same scent as the rest of the products, which added to the lasting power on my skin (which I was over the moon about!) and above all, sorted out my dry skin in no time! I usually get dry patches on my arms and my usual moisturiser wasn't cutting it, so I'd been meaning to find a new one for a while. I've decided that when this product launches, I am definitely investing in the body butter! My skin stayed soft without a need for reapplication, which I do sometimes need to do. A total life saver! (It's also grease-free, and sinks into your skin very quickly.. so no need to fret about sticky clothing!)

Wild Argan Oil - Oil for Body and Hair

I must admit I haven't tried this as a body oil yet, however having tried it on my hair I am recommending this a product for those who want to try the original Moroccan Oil hair product, but are afraid to because they don't want their hair to become greasy! As that product is quite thick, I can empathise with those with finer hair, as it can tend to become greasy. But, this new body oil by The Body Shop is very thin, and is suitable for any hair type, as it doesn't coat the hair, it simply disappears when you've massaged it into the ends of damp hair. (It also smells gorgeous too.)

So there we have it, my complete review of the yet to be released, Argan Oil range of products by The Body Shop, launching on Tuesday 12th August. Definitely a must have set of products for people who enjoy using argan oil, and I think it is perfect for those suffering with mild dry skin.
