St Ives Apricot Facial Scrub

My skin has been feeling slightly dull & unloved recently. I have been generally using just a cleanser & muslin cloth, although, I remembered my old love of St Ives Gentle Apricot Facial Scrub & immediately repurchased. I know I needed a scrub to replenish my skin.

A little about the product its self: 

St Ives Gentle Apricot Facial Scrub. UK's No. 1 Scrub Brand, St Ives captures the secrets of naturally beautiful & healthy looking skin in this mild cleansing formula that gently exfoliates to instantly reveal smooth, radiant, healthy looking skin.

How To Use

New Packaging

Original Packaging

Just for those that weren't aware, like me - St Ives have repackaged their scrubs with a new look. opposed to the sleek & classic design, they have changed it up, whilst keeping it simple.

I chose the 'Gentle' scrub, as its suitable for use daily. Its a smooth texture, with sand like scrub pieces, which gently & carefully removes dead skin cells, leaving you with soft, replenished skin. I used this for 7 days in a row, to see the results, not in conjunction with any other I has been using. Throughout the 7 days, I  didn't feel any discomfort or harshness to my skin. This is really important to me, as I want a powerful results in a gentle formula, which this certainly has.

Of course, do I need to even mention the scent?

Some rather unflattering photographs, although, I thought I'd take some of the product in actual use, rather than a swatch, so for anyone that hasn't heard/seen this before, you know what to expect!

Over all - I would definitely re-purchase this. Without an absolute doubt. As I mentioned, I have previously owned this a few years ago, which did wonders. I struggle to remember why I stopped, although, I am over the moon to be using this, as well as a refreshing alternative to my usual cleanser & muslin cloth. For £4.99, you really can't complain. The smallest amount will do just the trick.

Thank you!
