St Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub


Usually I'm not a huge fan of scrubs. I prefer chemical exfoliators like Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant. Usually I find abrasive scrubs (the ones with the bits in them) to be pretty useless on my dry patches. 
That is, until I tried this baby.
P.S This is a 30ml sample size

St Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub* 30ml. £2.86 for 150ml here


KEY INGREDIENTS:
Apricot (really you don't say?!)
Corn Kernel Meal
Walnut

To use, you wet your face then squeeze out a little onto your fingertips. You really don't need as much as I have in the photo above, I just tend to get a little scrub happy. Then you massage it into your skin and rinse. 
This scrub is very grainy yet doesn't aggravate or make my sensitive skin red. Which is always a good thing.
I LOVE how smooth my skin is after using this. I've never found a scrub to make my skin feel as smooth as this does. Its amazing.
I am going to keep using my Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant almost everyday and then use this scrub once or twice a week to really keep my skin smooth. 

I'm definitely going to keep repurchasing this as its so freakin cheap?! Like whaaatt? I seriously think this is going to be my holy grail skincare product.
If you haven't tried this GET DOWN TO YOUR DRUGSTORE NOW. Seriously you can afford £2.86 for 150ml. Trust me, you wont regret it.

      The only other thing that's worked for me is the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant but that stuff is pricey! This is much more affordable!

    I love this scrub too! Some people have told me this scrub is so bad for your skin, but I don't know where they get their info from cuz it actually works!

      Really? I have really sensitive skin and it hasn't caused me any problems, in my mind that's a go ahead to continue using it! :)
