Oh So Rosie!

The Body Shop Drops of Youth Liquid Peel I remember way back in the winter when I brought something from The Body Shop and the lady tried to sell me the Youth Liquid Peel. She demo-ed it on my somewhat reluctant hand. I have to say after the demo I was quite intrigued, the product makes clumps of dead skin on the surface of your skin and my hand did definitely feel softer.  The lady in the shop kind of said it was an exfoliator and in a way I guess it is.  Product clumping Anyway, well over a month ago I dragged my boyfriend into The Body Shop and then remembered about this product and showed him it, we both wondered whether it was just a massive gimmick. Like if they put high amounts of alcohol in the product and this evaporated quicker than the rest, you would be left with little clumps of product.

Once I have applied my foundation I take a stippling brush, apply a little product and on the back of my hand stipple the product around to get an even distribution to on the brush and then apply it to the areas which would naturally get tanned.
