Review: St.Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

I always get asked what is a good exfoliator,

to me the best one hands down is the St. Ives Apricot Scrub.

It doesn't irritate and dry up your skin,

it does what it is supposed to do,

best of all? it is AFFORDABLE, easily under $5 @ walmart

I have been using this brand for a long long long time.

*still have the really old packaging hanging around* 

old packaging

My "Naturally Clear" one just recently ran out and it was the squeeze bottle type,

So i decided to pick up the big round pot like ones. 

kay first things first... this product smells AMAZING.

even before you use the product the scent just refreshes you.

just simply moisten your face with water then apply the scrub,

rub it around in circular motions then rinse.

results are almost immediate you can feel how smooth and clean your skin is afterwards.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT

REVIEW: DERMAL APRICOT MASK

This is the first mask i tried from their fruit series...

MOISTURIZING FIRMING AND BRIGHTENING.

I didn't take a picture of my skin or anything this time,

just because i had a major break out and it's just grotesque.

The Specs Says:

-simple sheet type mask that offers your skin direct nutrition after using and it is possible to go out without washing your face 

- compared to other masks you can feel difference immediately with using it only once, the high quality mask sticks on to your skin and stays on

- contains apricot extract which is abundant in vitamin C & E. Very effective for moisturizing and provides good nutrition for your troubled skin while keeping your skin healthy and elastic

- vitamin e & collagen  provides skin with nutrition and brightens your skin
- makes your skin feel cool when you place it on

So when i opened the packaging,

i was just gushing in happiness because of the smell.

it was a delicious sweet apricot smell. LOL. I LOVED IT ON SPOT.

imo i actually thought the mask seemed a little thicker in serum.

this mask tightened pores and moisturizes really well,

however i don't think it brightened alot, 

i thought it was quite minimal.
