Let me start by saying this body wash is a game-changer. The first time I used it, I was hooked by that fresh, ocean-like scent—it’s like a mini beach vacation in every shower. The sea salt and kelp combo isn’t just for show; you can actually feel the gentle exfoliation working as you lather up.

I’ve tried plenty of scrubs that either feel like sandpaper or disappear into nothingness, but St. Ives nails the balance. The granules are just abrasive enough to slough off dead skin without leaving me raw. My skin feels *smooth*, not stripped, and that glow lasts for days. Plus, it lathers like a dream—no endless pumping to get enough product.

Here’s the kicker: I even use it on my hands when I need extra scrubbing power after gardening. It works just as well as fancy hand soaps, and the scent lingers in the best way. And can we talk about the eco-win? The bottle’s made from recycled plastic, and it’s cruelty-free—so I feel good about using it daily.

Pro tip: If you’re used to store sizes, note this online pack has slightly smaller bottles (though they last forever). But after years of loyalty, from my teens to now? Worth every penny for that squeaky-clean, compliment-worthy skin.
