Instead, I tend to manage it with a body scrub. However, I've noticed that the more coarse and rough the scrub particles are, the better the exfoliation and the softer my skin becomes, but it also tends to be more irritating, causing a burning sensation and even drawing blood at times. On the other hand, when the scrub particles are finer and gentler, there's less irritation, but the exfoliating effect is also quite minimal, often leaving me disappointed. Geomae has been highly recommended from various sources and is quite a popular product, so I decided to give it a try this time, and I'm quite satisfied with it. As soon as I opened the generous 600g jar, a subtle sweet grape fragrance wafted out. After thoroughly mixing the sunken Dead Sea salt and oils and gently massaging it into my skin, rinsing it off leaves my skin noticeably softer. There is significantly less dryness and irritation after rinsing, and the exfoliating effect is excellent. It's also great for managing ingrown hairs after hair removal. It seems there's a good reason why this product is so widely recommended by people. I highly recommend this body scrub to those looking for effective exfoliation with minimal irritation and dryness.
ConsThe Dead Sea salt particles aren't overly coarse, but if you apply too much pressure while massaging, it can still be irritating. Also, it can sting quite a bit if it comes into contact with any wounds, so be careful to avoid those areas.
TipWhile this product is not overly drying, be sure to apply a moisturizer after use! Also, the salt particles will dissolve once they come into contact with water, so it's best to only scoop out the amount you plan to use from the main product.

At that time, the skin condition was more resilient than it is now, and the sea salt-based scrub was not at all irritating and provided a refreshingly satisfactory scrubbing experience. The scrub granule size was just right, unlike some other sea salt-containing scrubs where the granules are too small, making it unclear whether the skin is actually being scrubbed or just feeling soft. With this product, the skin felt smooth and soft after use. The fragrance was also very pleasant, reminiscent of a delicious grape ice cream that I couldn't help but keep sniffing.
ConsAfter my skin became more sensitive, this sea salt-based scrubbing product was too stinging and painful to use. While it may be satisfactory for some, I would recommend being cautious when using sea salt scrubs if your skin is delicate or if you have any minor unseen injuries, as it can be quite irritating. Since my skin type has changed (likely due to natural aging), sugar-based scrubs no longer feel as irritating when scrubbing, so I don't think I'll be able to use this brand going forward.
TipIf the granules feel too large and painful when scrubbing, I recommend mixing it with a bit of water to slightly dissolve the granules before using, which can make the scrubbing experience more comfortable.

After using it, my skin definitely feels softer!
ConsI have quite sensitive skin, so it was a bit too irritating and stinging for me. The granules are like salt, so even the slightest contact with any cuts really stings!!! Be careful with this product.
TipBe sure to mix the salt and liquid well before applying!!

However, it does have a slightly heavy feel, and there is a bit of an oily residue left after use, though it does leave a moisturized sensation. My mother has what she calls 'snake skin' - her skin is smooth, with a scale-like appearance, and she constantly deals with peeling white flakes and skin irritation. She recommended this product and told me to try it, but unfortunately it doesn't work well for me.
ConsIt's too irritating 😢 For those who always struggle to use scrub products properly, or find them too harsh and ineffective, I wouldn't recommend this. Even when mixing it well with the oil, it's still too strong for my skin - it stings uncomfortably after use. I'd rather just go to the bathhouse and have them gently scrub off the dead skin.

Cons•At first, the spatula was a bit inconvenient. I used to just put it inside the container, but having to take it out and mix it every time resulted in a lot of spillage. However, I've gotten used to it now, and it's not that much of an issue anymore. •I used to use a different type of the Gio Ma body scrub before, and it didn't irritate my skin. But now, whenever I use the current one, it stings. I'm not sure if it's just this particular product or if I should try a different type. If you have slightly sensitive skin, you might want to look into other options and test them out.

The scrub function is decent, but the effect is good, so there is some irritation as well.
ConsI used it consistently, but the scrub particles (Dead Sea salt) felt rough and coarse, and I felt like my skin was getting scratched. It also stung and caused swelling, even though I don't have sensitive skin. It seems like using it too often wouldn't be a good idea, so I won't be repurchasing it.
TipThe product is meant to be used mixed with oil, and increasing the amount of oil can help reduce the irritation.
