14072015: Amazing shower scrubs!

I found these tubs of bath salts on a local Malaysian online shop on Instagram.
 Since it was quite cheap for a big tub (700g) and all the reviews were positive,
 I decided to give them a try!

My first purchase was the Detox scrub which is black in coal due to the coal content. 
Bought it because the reviews were really great with photographic proofs. 
Before I even finished it, 
I bought another tub together with the Dry Away scrub which 
works excellent for removing scaly skin.

I use them alternatively as suggested by the seller and now rarely have bad scaly skin,
 there is no need to scrub! 
Sometimes I can even skip my lotion when I am on a rush,
 I used to think I can't live without lotion. 
I bring these tubs everywhere with me! 
Sometimes the detox and other times the dry away.


RM29.00 each (700g)
Contact freshop_malaysia if you're residing in Malaysia.
If you're overseas and would really like to try these, contact me.
I will find out whether they ship overseas or maybe I can ship them for you! ^^



They are all homemade with natural ingredients. My skin is very very sensitive towards soap. Anything soapy or contains antibacterial properties, it will start becoming reddish and peels.



This was my skin condition before and after shaving, which I posted in this post questioning whether shaving helps: http://copingwithichthyosis.blogspot.com/2014/02/does-shaving-helps-skin-shed.html. But you can't possibly shave everyday and this only happens when I shave after a very longgg time.

It's the most effective, natural and no side effects product I've tried so far.


Now! Big difference? What's more amazing, no lotion!
I am not promoting the products, 
just sharing what really works and since it's so cheap (RM29 = less than 8USD?!) it's worth the try!
These are my 3rd purchase!!

02052015: Vaseline Intensive Rescue lotion

I changed my whole routine because I found the side effects of the cream and lotion I was using.

If you read my past posts on Handling Eczema where I used Econazine cream, it contains quite high steroid. After I used it with the Dermal Therapy lotion, my skin was thinning very badly. Which I believe the Dermal Therapy contained restricted ingredients which was why it was restricted in my country. The side effects was scary, a little rub or abrasion my skin gets scald-like wound. I stopped using both.

I went to the pharmacy and requested for something lighter than Econazine, I was given Egocort. My brother is using the same cream, it works better for mild eczema I am currently having. It is less thinning compared to Econazine. 

Since I was not allowed to buy anymore Dermal Therapy lotion, I had been using St. Ive's for the past few months. I mentioned about St. Ive's here. One day I was desperately searching for St. Ive's Vitamin E but it was sold out at all Guardians and Watsons outlets nearby. I had to travel the next day so I grab a bottle of Vaseline Intensive rescue Moisture Locking, it is great! I rarely have flakes now and I don't even scrub so often anymore. It could be a new lotion because I have not seen it before. And best thing is it's Hypoallergenic, my skin is so sensitive it has to be Hypoallergenic lotion.


I saw Repairing moisture and Soothing moisture online but have yet to see these on the counter. I do however avoid air conditioned room, avoid hot shower...anything which could possibly make the skin dryer than it's already is.

I am currently trying out homemade bath salt and moisture scrub, will share review once I can see any difference :)
