WHAT IS IT: The Body Shop Peppermint Reviving Leg Gel

THE PRODUCT(S):

The Body Shop Peppermint Reviving Leg Gel: The Body Shop Peppermint Reviving Leg Gel contains horse chestnut to help stimulate the circulation when massaged into the skin and rejuvenate tired, heavy legs.

Smells minty fresh and it leaves this wonderful cooling sensation on my legs once applied :D

VERDICT: This leg gel actually smells so minty you would have thought it was toothpaste, if I were to cover up the bottle itself. And normally whenever I encountered anything that smells so minty, I have my own hesitations since I've used various types of strong mint-scented products that somehow doesn't deliver. But not this leg gel though, it smells wonderfully minty fresh and yet at the same time also delivers results that you wanted. Especially when tired, sore and aching legs and feet demands of it.

As I am currently in the retail/service industry, I tend to have to stand up to 8 hours at anytime on my short chubby legs. And sometimes depending on the work station I will be at, I can end up having sore and tired legs that seems to threaten to snap like twigs without a moment's notice. It can feel even worse if I am running late and I have to walk fast, my legs will suddenly feel so brittle that I fear it will just go "Snap!' and leave me floundering on the ground like a fish on dry land D:

Initially, my mother was the one who bought a bottle for herself to use and she claimed that it works like a miracle. Of course I have my own doubts, especially so after that first initial sniff back then. But one day, I just couldn't stand the soreness and achenes in my legs anymore, threw caution to the wind and decided to give it a try. If it doesn't work for me, it won't be that much of a deal anyway. And surprisingly, it actually worked in reliving and rejuvenating my tired legs.

Since we tend to have to wander around the house after getting back from work, be it to the toilet to take a leak or to wander around the kitchen looking for food, we still have to walk around on our legs, isn't it? A day's work already takes the toll on your tired legs, and anymore further walking around the house will make it feel as if you are walking on pins and needles too. However, as soon as I applied and massaged a thin layer into the skin of my legs after a hot shower, I found that the minty-ness of the leg gel made my legs feel cool and relaxed. And a few moments later, my legs weren't that tired and achy anymore.

This is definitely a product worth considering if you tend to use your legs nonstop for a good 8 to 10 hours. I wouldn't claimed that it can prevent your legs from feeling sore and tired, but it definitely does help reliving the soreness and ache that is plaguing your legs after a day's work :)

VERDICT: ✓✓✓

WHAT I THINK: My legs feels relived without even me noticing too much about the soreness anymore~
