Personal product test and reviewfrom @justinescameraroll_

Overview

The creator explains how a specific shower oil has kept her skin from being ashy for months. She demonstrates that after running out of the product, her skin became dry again, and then conducts a side-by-side experiment on her legs, comparing the shower oil to a regular body wash to prove its superior moisturizing effects.

Transcript

My legs have not been ashy in months. That sounded so crazy. Editors cut I'm sorry. That sounded insane. And I have not been lotioning every day. I think it is this product. Over the last week, I rank out of it and started getting ashy. I put lotion on yesterday. Like, I rank see every line. I don't know what happened to the clip, but, basically, I wanted to see if this was what actually was making the difference. So I used this on one leg. Like, there's, like, a little bit better. And then I used the normal body wash I've been using for the past week on the other leg, and here's the result. I reapplied the body wash, like the old body wash. Right away. Mine. This side's in a tier. It's been for over thirty minutes. Long story short, I think I'm gonna switch to oil body washes moving forward.
