Silky Soft Skin

Have you ever tried rice pudding? It’s like tapioca, only better- sweet and creamy with tons of texture. Add fruit and we can’t think of a better dessert. (Except maybe Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream from Baskin Robbins).

When we opened KenzoKi Milky-Rice Body Scrub, our first reaction was to grab a spoon.

KenzoKi Milky Rice Body Scrub

While this body scrub looks and feels like rice pudding, it smells nothing of the sort.

We’ve been trying for days to come up with a good description of how this smells- but the only word we’ve mustered is gentle. It could be that this “scrub” is not like any other scrub in our shower. This gently exfoliates with soft, pillowy grains of rice that feel more like a massage than exfoliation, leaving our skin feeling smooth and moisturized. While gentle is certainly not a scent, this is exactly what KenzoKi Milky-Rice Body Scrub smells like to us.

And honestly, we could use this every day for the next year and not tire of it.

Whipped cream for the eyes

One of our favorite rituals of the day is the half hour prior to bedtime when we stand before our bathroom sink and prepare our skin for the peaceful 8 hours of sleep ahead.

Or the not-so-peaceful 6 hours of sleep ahead. (Who are we kidding? We have a pre-schooler that somehow ends up in our bed almost every night, no matter how many times we’ve begged, pleaded and bribed her to sleep on her own.)KenzoKi Relaxing Eye Whipped Cream

Needless to say, restless nights wreak havoc on our complexion. This is why we savor the moments before bed by lingering a little longer than we probably should at the sink with our beloved jars and bottles of face cream. It’s the perfect way to end the day.

And, thanks to KenzoKi Relaxing Eye Whipped Cream, it’s the perfect way to start the morning.

When applied before bed this incredibly silky eye cream goes to work without any effort from us whatsoever. None. Nada. Zilch.

The original formula of white lotus, essential oils and mineral salts, along with some other fancy ingredients, creates a zen-like eye cream that has us looking forward to bedtime. Gently patted around our eyes (with the ring finger, girls. Always the ring finger) KenzoKi Relaxing Eye Whipped Cream tames puffiness and dark areas while relieving tired eyes.

Our eyes haven’t looked this rested since, well, um… (We would mention the whole pre-schooler in our bed thing, but then you might be all SHUT UP about that already, just put the damn kid in her bed and don’t let her get up. Who’s the parent anyway? and then we might have to wonder if you really even need this eye cream because you obviously live a stress-free life while enjoying 12 hours of sleep every night. And you probably eat all of your vegetables, too.)
