The New Zest Fruitboost available at Walmart is a Must-Buy!

IMG_0116

Looking for a great  shower gel that smells great but also leaves you feeling refreshed and your skin feels soft? The NEW innovative, revitalizing shower by Zest called Fruitboost is my favorite new shower gel!  It is amazing with its rich moisturizers and the antioxidant power of Vitamin C to help nourish your skin. Available in four luscious fruit filled scents (Citrus Splash, Very Berry, Peach & Mango and Pomegranate Acai), Zest Fruitboost stimulates your senses at a whole new level. It’s also twice as concentrated as the average shower gel providing double the lather and double the scent, and can be used to up to 40 showers making it a great value.

I recently participated in a Zest/Walmart “Booster” blogger program and was more than thrilled to run off to Walmart to look for this product! It is only exclusive to Walmart. I found all four fruit filled scents at our local Walmart in Torrance. I chose the Peach & Mango to review in this post! It smells great and what I really like is how soft my skin feels after using it! It really does boost my whole shower experience! These would also make great stocking stuffer gifts for the entire family!
