St Ives Apricot Facial Scrub

I discovered the St. Ives brand when a friend gave me some shampoo and conditioner. I really liked the products so when one day I saw that there was a sale on St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub at the mall, I decided to try it out. Now, I am very picky when it comes to facial products as I already have problematic skin. After my first use, I was convinced that it really worked when it comes to cleaning the skin.

One whole day out in the city is enough to make your face feel really gritty and oily. While you are using the Apricot Facial Scrub, you can actually feel the beads scrubbing the dirt and grit away. You have to rinse it very thoroughly as the beads sometimes do not wash away completely. Make sure you get your nose - it is very irritating to find that you have leftover beads after you have dried your face. Right after you use the facial scrub, you will definitely feel much fresher and cleaner.

It is good for scrubbing away dead skin cells as well. There are times when you just feel like there is a layer of rough skin on your face. Use the Apricot Facial Scrub and more likely than not, you will get rid of the rough layer.

Another thing I like about St. Ives is that their products are composed of mostly organic ingredients. The Apricot Scrub is no different. With natural ingredients, you are less likely to develop an allergic reaction to the facial scrub. Another thing is that if you are concerned about animal rights, you will appreciate the fact that St. Ives does not test its products on animals.

This facial scrub does not help a lot when it comes to removing pre-existing breakouts. It does seem to prevent major cases of acne but when you already have acne when you start using it, I do not think that the Apricot Facial Scrub has much effect on making it go away.

If you have a serious recurrent acne problem, you should not rely on the Apricot Scrub as a solution. You should still see a dermatologist who can prescribe treatment. However, for people who have a normally clear complexion, then you should think about using the Apricot Scrub, especially if your skin is exposed to a lot of dirt and pollution throughout the day.

Myths and truths about laser treatments revealed here! Myth 1: I'm only in my 20s or 30s so I don't need laser treatments. Fact: According to Dr Dana Elliott, doing a laser treatment is similar to giving your skin a work out, which keeps it in peak condition. It is better to prevent than cure. So, if you start your treatments now, your face will retain its youthfulness 10 years or more down the road.
