Urban Rose Polish by Gia

It is not without good reason that Rose is called the Queen of flowers . The classic scent of this beautiful flower evokes love, sensuality and romance. A favourite among the Romans, the rose quickly seduced the Greek and Arabs and lured the temptress herself - the one and only, Cleopatra. Then it swept the whole world with its uplifting fragrance and potent cosmetic qualities. An excellent emollient, the essential oil of rose has the ability to soothe & alleviate acne, reduce inflammation, lighten scars and also improve skin tone. Rose is used in aromatherapy to treat anxiety and depression. And there are a zillion perfumes with heady to mild notes of this wonder flower.



Did you know that to produce as little as 30ml of Rose Essential Oil one needs over a ton of rose petals? The delicate petals are collected early in the morning and are processed(distilled for their essential oil) the same day. This makes Rose essential oil one of the most expensive in the market and the most alluring.


The presence of these beauties is an instant pick-me-up. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I found this..

PRODUCT

With a heady scent of roses, rose petals and a bright pink colour, Gia's Urban Rose Polish looks and smells fabulous. It is a foaming scrub - you wouldn't need a soap before/after. This body polish doesn't have the grainy/watery consistency of regular sugar scrubs - so be careful while using it else you might end up spilling some on the bathroom floor. It is slightly lumpy but dissolves well. This is one gentle yet effective exfoliator that softens skin. What I really like about this body polish is that its moisturising properties are subtle. Most scrubs I have used coat my skin with a thick layer of oil, not ideal in a hot and humid city like Chennai. Last but by no means least,Gia's Rose Body Polish fills the air with the heavenly scent of roses.




VERDICT

  • Good scent

  • Mild yet effective body scrub

  • Consistency could be improved to make it more easy to use

  • The product is a good buy at the discounted price

  • I recommend it for people who love strong rose scents. If you are looking for a foamy scrub, you could give this a try.
