Softsoap Body Butter Strawberry Smoother Body Smoothing Wash

Nothing quite says “summer” like freshly-picked berries. Whether you like to PYO berries from Eckert's Orchards in Belleville or Millstadt or you just grab a pint (or 10) at Soulard (St. Louis' original farmer's market) or the local grocery, fresh strawberries are the epitome of summer-time sweet, anyway you slice 'em. Berries and cream, berries and shortcake, berries and bodywash … Wait, what?

Turns out that yes, berries and body wash are indeed yet another way St. Louis ladies have a new way to enjoy this perfect little red berry. Softsoap has blended the juicilicious fragrance of fresh-picked strawberries, the scrubbing power of apricot seeds, and the intensive moisturizing of jojoba to create their Softsoap Body Butter Strawberry Smoother Body Smoothing Wash. The scent is soft and sweet, like those perfect little scarlet berries, but not so strong that it overpowers your favorite fragrance later on.

This marriage of berries and gentle exfoliants is the quintessential summer bath product, perfectly moisturizing for sun-kissed skin with just enough scrubbing power to remove the inevitable roughness that accompanies those long days spent swimming, sunning, or just barefootin' it. Use it with your hands or a washcloth for mild exfoliation, a loofah or shower scrubbie for more serious exfoliation.

Although Softsoap Body Butter Strawberry Smoother Body Smoothing Wash is a delightful summertime treat, much like a huge chunk of whipped-cream-doused strawberry shortcake, we suspect it would be just as much of a skin-treat year-round. We used it for a full week and found that our skin felt even softer after the seventh day than it did after the first day of use.

If you'd like to get your sticky little berry-stained fingers on this yummy bathtime treat, Softsoap Body Butter Strawberry Smoother Body Smoothing Wash at any major retailer or your favorite drugstore in the St. Louis area for a very affordable $3.50 to $4.50. If you'd like to stock up, order directly from Amazon.com.
