Skin Care Products | St. Ives & The Body Shop

Skin care is kind of a daily routine for us to look fresh and sexy throughout the day.

Hence, good skincare products are very important for each and everyone of you.

Today I'm writing reviews on 2 skincare products - Scrubs.

( Products that you use to exfoliate your skin )

Skin Type That I Have : Combination to Normal Skin 

Benefits 

 - Your skin will be brighten up.

- Skincare products will be absorbed better.

- Deep cleanse your skin.

 - Smoothen the surface of your skin.

The first product I'll recommend is St. Ives Apricot Scrub (Fresh Skin) .

 

I have quite sensitive skin, whenever I try out new products which contain irritants, my face will get itchy and big red pimples popping out.

This product I often use it to exfoliate my whole body since it stated it's for skin.

 It's oil-free which is good for my combination skin and it's 100% natural ingredients.

It's sulfate and parabens free which is great. =D 

It doesn't irritate my skin and leaves my skin smooth and silky.

Details of the product as below.

 

The texture and consistency of the scrub are the main reasons I bought this.

 

A little goes a long way, I usually use a palm size of this and it is enough to exfoliate the whole body. One pot usually last me for 3 to 4 months depends on how much you use. 

I scrub 2 to 3 times a week and currently I'm using my second pot and it's almost finised. 

On my best friend's birthday, I've sent her this product, she has extremely sensitive skin, once she used a new product other than doctor's recommendation she'll tend to get a full face of pimples which makes her visit the doctor again.

After she used this for a week, she said her face is very smooth and a lot brighter.

 

 For her, she only uses it on the face, this pot lasts her forever. 

You can get this product on any local drugstores. 

For the maximum effect, I usually use Vaseline Healthy White Perfect 10 Lotion.

They goes together perfectly.

The second product which I use to exfoliate my face and I would like to give it a thumb up is Seaweed Pore-Cleansing Facial Exfoliator from The Body Shop. 

 

I have literally finished the whole bottle of this without any drop left. It is on the pricier side but it definitely worth every cents you've paid.

It's a product imported from the UK and you can get it from any "The Body Shop" shops in the shopping centre. 

I'm on my second bottle now, this lasts mt for 5 months, I put a little on my fingertips and gently exfoliate my face and rinse it. 

It has tiny beads with gel like solution.

 

How I came across this product?

 I've always concerned about my pores around my T-zone and one day I was shopping in the shops, the label on the bottle had caught my eyes. It wrote "Pore-Cleansing" and for combination/oily skin. And...there was a big sale going on, I have around 25% discount on this product. I think it was quite reasonable price after discount for an exfoliator.

It has strong seaweed smell, as you're exfoliating your face, the longer you exfoliate, the stronger the smell is. If you can't stand seaweed smell, not recommend you to buy it.

  

Details of the product are as follow.

 

After Cleansing

 My skin immediately feel clean, the oil particles are remove, the most IMPORTANT thing is your skin will feel tight and the old acne scar or dark spot has faded.

This is a great product overall but it is quite pricey compare to the drugstore products but for better skin, I wouldn't mind to pay more.
