I am a big fan of Philosophy's Gingerbread Man soap and miss the scrub.  I saw that they have a duo with a scrub in it. I am sure the consistency is different but does anyone know if it might be worth a try?

Re: Gingerbread Scrub? A341676

@bronx...I ❤️ Gingerbread man, but have never tried the scrub.  How is it? I’ve read that salt scrubs are rough on the skin. Is this one gentle? I love the scent so I’m tempted to buy it, especially since Philosophy is giving us free shipping through tomorrow.

LOVE, love Gingerbread Man, but not salt scrubs.  My skin definitely prefers sugar scrubs.

Good point @Caaareful Shopper...I wish there was a Gingerbread Man sugar scrub.

@SurferWife

 

I can't help but wonder if mixing Wen Fall Ginger Pumpkin with fine sugar might work as a scrub. Perhaps someone on the Wen forum has done this or used the FGP oil, maybe both? Just thinking a little outside of the box. Hope I haven't offended anyone going OT. Not my intention.

Thanks @rochelleS! I’ll search some WEN threads & see if I can find something about body scrub. I think (but far from certain) that he is working on something...😍

I love the Gingerbread Man salt Scrub!  I am ordering this set.  I don't know if the consistency has changed but I loved the one they used to have.  I think the size has changed.  I think it used to be 23 oz now it's 21 oz.

I haven't seen this scrub out for several years. They used to have a candy cane one too. I'm wondering about the consistency change too.

@bronx Thanks for posting this...I just ordered! I already have 4 bottles of the body wash, but just had to get this scrub. Hopefully, the consistency has not changed too much, if at all--I liked it the way it was. It's never been a "gentle" scrub, but I use it carefully, and actually like the roughness of it for my arms & legs.

I ordered it.  I am sure it is not going to be the same but maybe, just maybe it will be close enough.  I love the soap and use it all year.  Can't wait to get it and review.
