My overall experience/comments on the product:

     I've had this in the past and really love it - I feel like because it's meant to be used as a mask rather than directly as a scrub that the sugar particles in here have a chance to melt into the skin; thereby maximizing on the humectant properties of sugar and also on its ability to scrub the skin. This leaves my skin feeling very soft and smooth. I find this to be fairly grainy and scrubby. That said it doesn't aggressively hurt my skin or anything like that and leaves me feeling very soft and smooth. I also really love the scent.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
