St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub | A Product Review

St. Ives is well-known to its skincare products that claimed good reviews around the world. Even my mother recommend the brand whenever I need something for my skin, especially that I have a sensitive type all over my body. If you have seen the recent post of mine, I am suffering from eczema and until now I am treating it. Anyway, if you have come up to search about this product, you can see a bunch of reviews even from celebrities that this is a way to go but of course, all the goods have the opposites. If I can still remember it right, since this is a physical exfoliation type, others appeal that this is bad for the skin because of force peeling. They recommend that for better skin exfoliation, chemical peeling is the best way.


Brand Name: St. Ives
Product Name: Fresh Skin (Apricot)
Product Type: Scrub
Product Price: Php 335 (283g)

I am a St. Ives fan and I am using it for a year now. I can say that I have not seen any tremendous reaction to my skin. It even makes my skin smooth and glowy after. I also use this scrub all over my body and I do not think that I will discontinue using this. Not to mention, I bought this on sale so it is a sure deal for me.


As you can see on the picture above, I almost emptied the tub. I scrub once or twice a week even though the packaging recommends using it 3-4 times. On the studies I have read online, scrubbing everyday is a no-no because of the danger that it may bring to skin and because I am working 8-5 on weekdays, I use this on my rest days. 


I only apply small amount to the areas that I want it covered and then I gently spread it. Maybe because of visible granules of the apricot that gives it a bad notion. I am not a professional dermatologist or something related so I can not say anything that can give clear statement regarding its benefits and hazards. But I do believe that whatever or whichever that makes you feel good and what makes your skin on its fullest, go for it. Everyone has its unique description so why not give it a try. And if you are a scrub person, purchase this one and you will never regret it.
