New L’oreal Garnier BodyLight Body Scrub and Body Lotion

November 6, 2008 Paris B 24 Comments

When Garnier brought their skincare into Malaysia a year ago, I would pause by the counter every so often to check it out. The lemony yellow packaging of the Light line was very eye catching in a pharmacy filled with white clinical bottles. I’d sniff the lemon essence and play with the testers but I never got round to trying it. I’d only tried the Garnier tissue mask.

A year later, I was kindly invited by Garnier to the media launch of a new product in the Garnier Light line – the BodyLight Brightening Exfoliating Scrub and BodyLight Whitening Hydrating UV lotion. Yes, Garnier has expanded from face to body. This is so you look even toned all over yes? 🙂

The 3 main ingredients in the Bodylight line are:-

  • Lemon Essence – for exfoliating and illuminating the skin
  • Mulberry Extract – for suppressing and preventing uneven skin ton
  • UV Filters – to protect from the sun and further uneveness

I tested the products in situ and I can tell you that from a first impression, the Bodylight Exfoliating Scrub is simply wonderful! My skin was so smooth after the exfoliation. The body lotion is light and feels refreshing and importantly, sinks right in without feeling sticky! The lemon scent is still very strong and that bugs me a little to be honest but it dissipates after a while.

Garnier says that there will be visible lightening of the skin in 4 weeks with regular usage. They even handed out a ruler that measures the colour of the skin so you can compare. Well, I’m going to put them to the test – give me 4 weeks and I’ll be back to tell you if it really works or not!

Garnier Bodylight Exfoliating Scrub and Whitening Hydrating UV lotion will be available in most pharmacies in Malaysia from mid November 2008.

    It has finally reached our shores, I have seen them in Singapore last year I think. Must admit the current Garnier products are either manufactured in China or somewhere unlike the earlier Garnier products which I saw in the stores in UK in 2002. Garnier is part of Loreal hence their range is slightly cheaper but with all the testing done at Loreal’s labs, there must be a certain degree of goodness in them.

    @Nikki : Let us know if you see it in PH!

    @Penelope:Hmm… so many people using the Garnier for face – I should try!

    @Natalie: Personally, I’m not expecting too much whitening!

    @rinnah : *giggles* Yep! That’s my exact thought haha…

    @celine: Yeah I remember seeing them in Singapore too. Garnier in Asia is produced for the Asian market so we aren’t seeing the same products/manufacturers that you see in Europe. I think its a pretty decent brand.

    @amey : It is not medicated, merely a body scrub. Try products with tea tree oil in them for bacne

    I tried this product and I really love it so much. But to much disappointment, I couldnt get Garnier Body Scrub in Singapore anymore. I searched all Watson, PH islandwide and couldnt get it. Can anyone advise me where to get the Garnier Bodey Scrub? I have seen another scrub but is scrub wash, which I suppose is only meant for face. I am looking for Garnier Body Scrub please.

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
