Grapefruit Soap from Archipelago Botanicals

I love the citrus smell of grapefruit and this soap by Archipelago Botanicals ($12.50, beautyexclusive.com) smells great. It doesn't dry out my skin and I just love the packaging. The scent is very light and doesn't overwhelm you.

It lathers easily and gives off a soft hint of grapefruit. I tend to splurge every now and then on a good soap but not too often.

The Packaging Alone Sold Me

Lately the scent that I crave is pear. Which is why I love using this soap by Sapone Per Cucina Soap ($12.00, lafcony.com).

I could collect all the soaps for the packaging alone. This soap is luxurious with a clean and light pear scent.

I like finding different products and this is my latest find. I don't usually spend $12.00 on one bar of soap but I really like the smell and the way my skin feels afterwards.

Attack Backne with a Purpose

Okay, I hate to admit this but sometimes I get the wayward pimple...on my back (aarg). I guess it's between the indoor heat, exercising and bundling up to go outside in the cold air, I'm bound to sweat or irritat my back.

To fix it, I like to use Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar ($3.99, drugstores) just on my back with a back brush to help keep my back nice and clear.

I know it can be a little expensive or silly to some to use a different soap just one area of the body, but it really does keep my back from breaking out.

Milk & Honey, so soothing

I like trying new products and I was introduced to River Soap Company Milk & Honey soap ($3.50, riversoap.com) as a gift from my Aunt.

She found it at a health food store, since she knows I love beauty products she thought I might like it.

She was right, I really did like this soap. It made my skin feel so soft. It's very moisturizing and soothing for my dry skin.
