Stimulate Your Skin Before A Soiree

I’m always excited to discover and try new brands, but when I received ekoh‘s pre-party prep, I wanted to save it for exactly what the title suggested. So I put it this natural scrub the test before my 30th birthday party last Friday.

As soon as I opened the jar, I was thrilled with the scent. It reminded me of almonds, even though I couldn’t find them listed in the paraben-free ingredients. What I did find, however, was walnut powder and jojoba beads to exfoliate, as well as organic aloe, kaolin, apricot, rosemary, sugarcane, lemon, apple, green tea and pomegranate to nourish and cleanse. In fact, you leave the creamy concoction on your face like a mask for three minutes to let those naturals deposit their nutrients before gently scrubbing.

After rinsing, my skin looked fresh and glowing, and no amount of subsequent foundation could hide that. A few hours later, after the karaoke DJ introduced me to the entire crowd as the birthday girl celebrating the big 3-0, I became the recipient of several you-don’t-look-a-day-over-20-something compliments, and I doubt pre-party prep had nothing to do with that.

Consequently, I won’t be reserving it for just parties.
