Product Review: Neutrogena Body Spray

 

This is a spray for body acne. I was interested because I get a little body acne and body acne washes didn't really seem to do anything, so I picked this up.   

Honestly, I really like this product. It's easy to spray and easy to apply. I notice the acne going away, and my skin (slightly sensitive) didn't have a weird reaction to it. It also doesn't have a bad odor, and a little goes a long way.  

The best use for this: bikini bumps. 

My skin will get irritated if I shave in an odd area (bikini, lower back, etc.) and breaks out. I've tried several different products for razor bumps, but very few work. With this stuff I can just spray it after I shave and my skin will get noticeably better. It can sting a bit, but it's worth it.  

Price: 7.99

Roommate Stories...

Unfortunately, I couldn't room with the roommate I had my freshman year, so I had a different roommate my sophomore year. Honestly, my experiences could have been WAY worse, but nonetheless I wanted to punch her. So here are a few brief things:

-I got stuck putting my dresser in the closet, leaving me almost no room to hang clothes. She, on the other hand, could hang all of her clothes, but hung only about two things.

-She talks in her sleep...in Spanish.

-Her alarm was really loud (you could hear it while taking a shower) and it'd take her 5-10 minutes to wake up and turn it off.

-And then she wouldn't turn it off right, and it'd go off at random times during the day.

-She'd whisper/talk to herself...in Spanish

-She was ALWAYS in the room. I never had any alone time.

-She never wanted the window open when it was 90 degrees outside.

Tumblr Dump!

Product Review: Neutrogena Grapefruit Scrub






Since I'm obsessed with "goo" and hoarding it (shampoo, lotion, etc.) I figured I'd publish my reviews on stuff I've tried.

Neutrogena is a brand I always buy. It's one of the top skin care brands and I trust it. I don't break out much, but I always have at least one pimple or whitehead on my face. I'm on a quest to find the "holy grail" of facial cleansers.

This stuff definitely exfoliates your skin...maybe a little too much. It felt like I was rubbing sandpaper on my face. However, I didn't notice any odd side effects (except dry skin). It didn't make me break out or anything like that, but I didn't really notice my acne improving. So I threw it out when it was empty and I'm probably not going to buy it again. However, it did smell good :)

I know Neutrogena also makes a cleanser version of this that comes in pump form. I haven't tried it, and don't plan on it. There's also a body wash and cleanser wipes.

Prices (Target):

Scrub, 4.2 oz: 6.99
Cleanser, 6.0 oz: 6.49
Body Wash, 8.5 oz: 6.79
Wipes (25): 6.99
