Everyone knows that I am a real Mario Badescu skin care product junkie. My bathroom shelves are filled to the rafters with so many of their products that my boyfriend needs to build a new bathroom in the basement.

But there's always a little bit more room, especially for MB's products. Now I always rely on my own product testing skills as well as reading other reviews from people who have tried their products. After all I don't have the time nor the budget to go nuts and buy up every product to test out. Yes Mario Badescu does send out free samples, but the samples are small.

One day in my mom's spa we had the television running on and we were watching the Marthe Stewart show. There is a segment called "Martha's Must Haves" and much to my surprise and delight she was talking about and reviewing her favorite Mario Badescu skin care products.

I already knew Martha Stewart is just one of the many Mario Badecu's celebrity clients and I think it's kind of cool that she reveals to her fans which skin care products she uses. Because many people know Martha Stewart is really compulsive about many things especially how she looks and presents herself. To me this is testament alone that Mario Badescu skin care products are always worth a try.

As usual all of Mario Badescu's skin care products come in unpretentious packaging. They do not need fancy containers to attract people's eyes. Mario Badescu's skin care ingredients do a great job already showing itself off.

Ingredients: Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Deionized Water, Ginseng Extract, Grapefruit Peel Extract, Papaya Extract, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Oat Protein.

With all natural ingredients this body soap does a better job then most commercial soaps that you find on shelves. With no harsh ingredients whatsoever it leaves your skin smooth and and feeling fresh.

The natural ingredients that caught my eye instantly are Grapefruit Peel Extract and Oat Protein. I have used other skin care products before with these ingredients and it always provides great results.

Combined with Papaya Extract and this body soap is capable of breaking down dead skin cells and revealing fresh skin.
