bdTrial: Getting zesty

The BD team trial a range of zesty products to keep them fresh this summer.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Pink Grapefruit Cleanser
Ah, grapefruit - just the thought of it is enough to make my mouth water! And product with grapefruit… just delectable! Neutrogena’s Oil Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub packs a punch so I’d say it’s best to use this sparingly. The microbeads help unclog pores to eliminate any blemishes while the foam purifies the skin without over-drying or causing any redness. And the grapefruit scent is heavenly! You can’t help but feel so freshhh and so clean afterwards! - Sophia

I love the smell of lemons! They make me think of summer, being outdoors and going to the beach, so I was excited to trial the Citron range by Crabtree & Evelyn. The body scrub, bath and shower gel, and body bar all left the faint scent of lemons mixed with honey and coriander on my skin. The body scrub gently exfoliated my skin and left it feeling soft and smooth, while the bath and shower gel cleansed my skin without drying it out. Even though I don’t usually use a soap bar in the shower, the body bar cleansed my body and left it feeling refreshed and energised. This trio is a must-have to feel clean and fresh all day long. - Laura

 
A girl’s night in may be my favourite hobby. And alongside a John Hughes film, a bottle of red and a cheese-laden pizza, a face mask is an essential component of the evening. The Formula 10.0.6 Get Your Glow On is one of my favourite mask options for the event - a radiance-boosting peel mask that banishes dull skin. Papaya and citrus help to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and bid goodbye to breakouts, all within 10 minutes or the time it takes to decide on a movie. The best part? There’s no mess as the mask can be peeled off easily once it has dried. - Sarah

 
It’s currently 37 degrees in Sydney and the idea of putting on a heady scent is on par with a thick woollen jumper. Warmer months call for a fresh fragrance so zesty it puts a swagger in your step. The Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne is Jo Malone’s signature fragrance and is the perfect anecdote to the sweltering heat. The top citrus notes hit you first in a refreshing blast before the basil settles on your skin. The amberwood base notes ensure the fragrance lingers and offers an authentically androgynous scent that is the perfect addition to anyone's fragrance wardrobe. - Kelly
