Firm Body Butter & Scrub by Blendbox - by Sarah of The Mommy City

Blendbox is a range of body products which are blended with a selection of essential oils with grape seed, sweet almond oil and apricot kernel oils. Miemie is the lady behind the name and has been blending essentials for over 16 years. 

I have two products from her Firm range – the butter I won and was given the scrub at a Bloggers Who Bless (http://bloggerswhobless.blogspot.com/) meet. 

I don’t usually blog about beauty products, but this product is worth sharing, especially if you are post-baby like me and need some firming up.  Since I’m no beauty blogger, I did a bit of research about body butters, so now feeling a little more in the know. Body butter is excellent for moisturising as it’s basically a super concentrated lotion. It is thicker than lotions and so comes in tubs as it’s too thick to go through a spurt bottle. They are often made with fewer all natural ingredients and so have fewer potential allergens and irritants (something I’m more aware of now Ethan has eczema).

The Firm Body Butter is ultra thick and you can just feel that this cream is going to do wonders for your skin. It spreads easily and is absorbed into the skin but I’m still left feeling moisturised. I don’t put it on my whole body but focus on my stomach, hips and thighs. The Firm Body Scrub dissolves as your rub it on your skin and massaging in circular motions helps to increase blood circulation and cellulite elimination. They are both made with a blend of essential oils which tone, firm and detoxify the lymphatic system and assist in eliminating cellulite. The moisturising ingredients are a blend of shea, cocoa and avocado butters - all the good stuff for your body.  

Blendbox also have a Hatchling range for pregnant moms, a Soft, Pure and Calm range. Find Miemie on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Blendbox) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/BlendboxSA) to find out more about her products.
