True Blue Spa Clean Karma Exfoliating Body Wash Cleans Almost Too Well

January 18th, 2009 by Karen 12 Comments

“Daaaaaang, Pig-Pen!”

That’s what I said when I rinsed after using True Blue Spa Clean Karma Exfoliating Body Wash ($13.50). “All that dirt was on ME??” Yikes!

The crushed lychee and bamboo exfoliators in Clean Karma buff the hell out of crusty feet, elbows and knees. It worked so alarmingly well at removing dirt and dead skin that it left a ring o’ dirty grossness around the tub when I was done. EWWW! — but in a good way.

Yah, the tube looks all peaceful and zen-like, but don’t be fooled. Scrubbing with Clean Karma isn’t what I’d call relaxing. It didn’t hurt when I used it on my rough elbows, feet and knees — in fact, it was kinda invigorating — but on softer skin it felt a little scratchy, like scented sandpaper.

Speaking of fragrance, there’s more to Clean Karma than scrubbing power. It’s a great mix of ginger and orange scents that really wakes me up in the morning.

Bath and Body Works True Blue Spa Clean Karma Exfoliating Body Wash

Price: $13.50
Use: A deep, heavy duty exfoliating cleanser
Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: B+

If you need heavy duty exfoliating, Clean Karma totally obliterates dirt and dead skin, but it’s not exactly a gentle touch.

Feeling dirrrty? Consider one of these exfoliators…

  • Suave Daily Exfoliating Body Wash: Clean More, Spend Less
  • Clean and Clear Soft In-Shower Facial Passes with Flying Colors
  • Philosophy Amazing Grace Body Care Products: So Fresh, So Clean

I think I’ll keep a tube around though. You never know when your feet, knees or elbows will need a good scrubbing!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    OOO. Thanks for the review. I’ve been really curious about this stuff since I quite like this line at B&BW. I tested it out in the store and it smelled fantastic but I am up to my knees with all the True Blue Body and Foot Creams I got during their Semi Annual Sale. Have you tried Tahiti Sweetie? Ahh. Best smelling body lotion :]

    Hi Stephie,

    I heart Tahiti Sweetie. Wearing it instantly takes me to the tropics. 🙂

    What other stuff do you like from the True Blue line? My fave is a perfume from them that I got a while back called Bronze Bombshell. I don’t think they sell it anymore so I covet that bottle!

    Hi Miss QQ,

    It kinda is, but in a good way. 🙂 Hey, at least all the crud gets washed off!

    Peanuts ROCK! Poor Charlie Brown… he can never seem to quite get it together.

    Hey Karen! I love Pigpen! I saw this at BBW when I was hunting for some Exotic Coconut stuff but I didn’t give it a whirl (store was crowded). Question though, so how’d you get that goo outta the tub? I love Fabuloso!

    I think that would be something mi padre loves. He’s big in body scrubs after I sneaked in a bottle as a gift hahaha. I’ll definitely remember this when it comes to father’s day 🙂

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
