THE VERDICT:

In one of our accidental high school reunions, me and my HS friends talked heavily about the prominent stuff we used to have in high school: from pencil cases to Johnson & Johnson's Face Powder. One of the funniest lines I heard was "Uso ka kapag naka-Zen Zest ka. Lalo na yung Raspberry cologne!"

All of a sudden, I remembered how in love I was with Zen Zest, and recalled all the happy memories I've associated with their Raspberry and Tangerine colognes, body scrubs, massage oils, and linen sprays. I may be using other skin care brands right now, but Zen Zest will always have a special place in my heart.

If I'm not mistaken, this is still the same old packaging of their Body Scrubs and Body Lotion. Pretty vintage, eh?

I particularly love using this combo during night time baths. The warm and relaxing scent of Talc instantly lulls me to sleep. I'm also glad to know that it's still the same ol' body scrub I used to love: It's very moisturizing, and the non- abrasive apricot kernel shells effectively exfoliate, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and clean.

I follow it up with their smoothening body lotion in the same scent, which to me, is extremely emollient in spite of its affordability. A lot of cheap lotions in the market are too diluted with water. In spite of its thick consistency, it gets absorbed quickly and doesn't feel too heavy and 'hot' on the skin. The scent lingers for hours as well.

Zen Zest just goes to show you that oldies will always be goodies, and indeed, first love never dies. :)
