******From my tumblr account www.whatsupmonica.tumblr.com curlsandblushingasian

How is everyone? yey, i’m back to tumblr! sorry for being on hiatus (hiatus? feeling korean actress? LOL..haha) …sembreak will soon be over, so i might as well write reviews before busy school starts.:)

Tadaaa!! Presenting the best facial scrub for me!!! St. Ives!

I’ve been using St. Ives apricot scrub since 2nd year college! It’s the best scrub for me. It works well so I am sticking with it! :D

******************************************************

Apricots contain powerful antioxidants that gently cleanse skin. Apricot oil is known to hydrate and nourish skin.

KEY INGREDIENTS:

APRICOTS are known to contain one of the highest levels of carotenoids (think vitamin A) and super-effective antioxidants. All of this natural power might seem, well, too powerful, but they are actually quite gentle and nourishing and they help make fresher, more nourished skin beautifully possible.

“`

CORN KERNEL MEAL is actually flour ground from dried corn. It’s a soft, but gently powerful all-natural exfoliant that promotes skin cell turnover and regeneration. Cornmeal makes softer-feeling, fresher skin possible.

“`

WALNUT is known for its hard shell, but when it’s ground, it becomes an amazingly effective, all-natural exfoliant ingredient in our scrubs. Not only are walnuts plentiful on the planet, they also help newer, healthier skin come to the surface.

What I love?

- the beads, you can really feel it when you scruuuuub it on your face (but don’t scrub too hard! please^^)

- the smell is just fine

- makes skin clean/(clearer?^^) and smoother

- gentle on skin. provides good exfoliation for those who have sensitive skin. gentle enough to use everyday as what it claims.

- it’s not hard to find..go to the nearby drug stores or grocery stores! haha!:))

- tube packaging~~ooh hygienic :)

- non irritating and 100% natural extracts. Dermatologist tested!

- not tested on animals. does not contain animal ingredients

- formulated without parabens and phythalates 

- not really expensive

- it is even has an award: teen vogue reader’s choice beauty award winner :)

What I don’t like?

-none.

So what scrub are you using? If none, then you should try this! :)

*************************UPDATE: they updated their packaging and now I'm using the Fresh skin Apricot scrub which is almost the same with the Gentle one.
