"A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way"
Sugar (the commodity) has an unfavourable reputation in the Beauty industry - think excess pounds, acne and wrinkles. Sugar (the person) has an increasingly glowing reputation in the Beauty industry thanks to his partnerships with two 2011 Apprentice candidates, Tom Pellereau (aka Inventor Tom) and Susan Ma, founder of Tropic Skin Care. Ever since the wonderful Series 5 episode 4 of the Apprentice, where candidates were tasked to produce and sell two bath products made from natural ingredients (if you haven't seen it, do check out this classic clip where Nick casually drops a you have just spent over £700 on fragrances bombshell), I was aware of Lord Sugar's interest in the Beauty industry, but I couldn't quite picture how he would become involved (Eau de Amstrad and Tottenham Toner never sounded like top sellers!).
Tropic Skin Care also brings sugar the commodity into a Beauty Hero light, thanks to a product that very much like Mary Poppins is "practically perfect in every way". I am referring to Face Smooth Polish, retailing at £15.00 per 100ml, available via the Tropic website and via Tropic Ambassadors.

Rich in natural alpha hydroxy acids that gently exfoliate & rejuvenate skin; sugar used topically (especially Tropically topically) helps promote a brighter complexion. Several studies now show that sugar can heal wounds, in some cases where antibiotics fail - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2278942/Pouring-granulated-sugar-wounds-heal-faster-antibiotics.html
I was going to call this post "Take the rough with the smooth", as after a hard day this is such a wonderful treat to make you feel aaaaaaahhhhhhhh that's better, no matter what the day throws at you. So what makes it so special? Well to keep up the Mary Poppins theme, a lot of products make "piecrust promises. Easily made, easily broken". Not the case with Face Smooth, the product has been made with so much care and attention, it doesn't fail to live up to its promise:
"It works to cleanse, exfoliate, tone and moisturise all in one, to leave your skin feeling velvety, refreshed and simply radiant."
It is not like other scrubs. I repeat it is not like other scrubs! It is incredibly gentle, leaving your skin feeling baby soft yet thoroughly cleansed. If like me your skin has a tendency to that just stepped out of chip pan look, fear not, yes it does include oil, but it leaves nothing more than beautiful moisturised, pampered skin (not an oil slick in sight).
Perhaps the nicest part of the Face Smooth experience is the aroma: uplifting (peppermint), refreshing (orange & lemon) and reassuring (chamomile). This is a wonderful product to treat yourself, or a loved one. I strongly recommend you get out a wooden spatula* and give it a whirl.
* comes free with the product for easy mixing.
