Skin Treat Healthy Radiance Warming Body Scrub (200ml for $13)
Do you want to try a unique product? Are you tired of the same old stuff? You have come to the right review. What's this? "A warming body scrub that refines and awakens your skin. It effectively removes old skin cells and promotes cell renewal. Deep-cleansing charcoal combined with exfoliating natural silica and revitalizing ginseng, ensures a deeply stimulating body scrub that leaves your skin refreshed, supple, and glowing with new energy", says Skin Treat.
No, no, you don't understand. When they mean "warming", they mean "warming", like really warming, like hot-warming. Not a two second lukewarm sensation. So, you stand there, in the shower, just having put some water all over yourself. Then you take this scrub (turn the water off), and start massaging your body everywhere (highly recommend the chest, not the private parts). A minute goes by-- you have rubbed in the scrub, nothing is happening. And then...it starts. Your body starts heating up from within. Slowly but surely, you feel like someone implanted some coal underneath your skin and now set it alight. You feel hot, burning, but not burned. Then, you think "alright, if I rinse it off, it will surely stop". Haha. No. It continues for another 20 minutes after you have left the shower.
Mind blown. Your skin feels baby soft, although the scrub isn't strong, but in combination with everything else, the whole experience and the result is astonishing. I am mind blown. Thank you, mum, for introducing me to this product.

Skin Treat Instant Firming Body Serum (100ml for $12)
I love when brands write "instant" on their product- it is easy to catch them on a lie. Just like here. It is "a lightweight firming, tightening and hydrating body serum for skin in need of some extra love. Contains high levels of hyaluronic acid and horse chestnut that instantly firm, hydrate and improve elasticity. Menthyl lactate awakens your skin with a refreshing and cooling effect. Lightly scented with green floral notes of lilac, spring rain, and soft vanilla". I have a bit of experience with such firming creams-- some actually do work. Not this one. No instant effect either. It is like applying a light lotion, nothing else. Well, almost nothing else...you might get a tiny bit of a cooling sensation after an hour or so. Now, that's it.

Skin Treat Power Protect 24h antiperspirant ($6)
With pH of 4.5, this is "an intensely caring antiperspirant deodorant that provides exceptional 24h sweat and odor control. The protecting formula with organic extracts from cotton seed and French rose softens and moisturizes. Absorbs quickly. Leaves no white marks. Non-sticky". This product is amazing-- no wonder it is sold out. Works perfectly! Wow. No sweating, no odour.

Skin Treat Nourishing Cleanse In-Shower Moisturiser (100ml for $8)
Alright, I don't really know which direction Skin Treat was going in for this product. When I read the label, I thought it would go more in the direction of Lush Ro's Argan. But no... Here is the description: "This multifunctional in-shower cleansing body conditioner leaves your skin refreshed, hydrated and silky smooth. Amazonian Babassu oil gently cleanses your skin and adds emolliancy and hydration". I felt no extra hydration on my skin. I actually had to put lotion on. For a simple shower gel, it's too expensive. So, again, Skin Treat, where are you going with this product?

Skin Treat Melting Sugar Scrub (200ml for $13)
Argh...more people need to know about this product. Unfortunately, I think it is only sold in Sweden for now, but it feels like the brand is thinking of expansion since the labels are done in English. And once they do-- grab it. It's a beautiful scrub, and has quickly become one of my most favourite body scrubs. So, what is it? "A revitalizing organic sugar body scrub that leaves skin soft, clear and supple. It gently removes old skin cells – and all types of impurities. The deep-exfoliating formula with organic avocado oil and matcha tea firms and helps promote skin elasticity for even, smooth, and naturally glowing skin". It's not a liquid scrub. It's a hard-butter to oil scrub. It is of medium strength -- I did it on dry body though. With a 75% oil content, I thought it will leave my skin oily. Nope, it left it baby soft-- possibly even softer. Wow. Yes, the scrub is not economical, so it is more a treat, but damn, I am ready to treat my body to this.
