St.Ives Naturally Clear Blemish & Blackhead Control Apricot Scrub ~ Review

Its been long since my last review, sorry im a bit busy these days..but i didn't want to let you guys down..So, here you go..my review on St.Ives Apricot Scrub for Belmish & Blackheads Control!


What Do they Claim?
Exfoliates to prevent blemishes & clean pores


Product Description
America's #1 Scrub gently cleans pores and helps stop breakouts before they occur.

Application
Moisten face with water. Dispense product onto fingertips and massage over face. Rinse with water. Avoid direct contact with eyes. In case of contact with eyes, flush thoroughly with water. For best results, use 3 to 4 times per week.

Product Claims
Oil-free - 2% salicylic acid • dermatologist-tested • 100% natural exfoliants • 100% natural extracts


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 was my Experience?

Hmm lets start off with the packaging, its nice and simple..i like it :)
Its a Flip open tube, lets the product securely stay inside!


Secondly, the texture of this face scrub is quite thick..it has exfoliating beads but they are pretty harsh on my face :(
You can see, the texture is really thick, it comes out from the tube like this..


You just need this much amount for all over your face, but the beads are indeed harsh on the skin!
It does scrub my face well, and cleans pores..i use it once or twice a week when taking a bath..i use a very light hand while rubbing it on my face


Okay now for some hard facts about Apricot Scrub
This Apricot scrub is NOT Recommended by the dermatologists!

Yes!!!

Because, it contains small walnut particles for exfoliation, which makes microscopic cuts on your face and exposes your skin to Bacteria more!
Ahem.. i know, thats a bit scary..hmm?


So Overall, i wont recommend this product to anyone..even if i didn't know its harmful to your skin, i wouldn't buy it again because its very harsh on my face!

The Price was 235 PKR..which is quite inexpensive


So, do you use this product?
What is your recommendation for Blemish and Blackheads control?
Will be waiting for your comments/ questions/ opinions...till then, takecare :)

New Luscious Whitening Base for Oily/Combination Skin ~ Review

Image
A year or two ago when i got the Luscious Whitening Base, i looked at it and wished it came in a bigger tube..Im Happy that Luscious Cosmetics released it in a bigger better tube :) Lets see how this one performs! Whats they Say? Save Your Skin!  Sun damage has become a big part of our lives due to pollution and the environment. No matter what your age is, you are at risk of sun damage (dark patches and uneven skin tone) every time you step out without a good sun block. Here to the rescue is Luscious Whitening Base SPF 35. All in One:  • Oil-free Moisturiser  • High performance Sun Protection  • Makeup Primer The benefits: The list is endless. With continued use, you will see a visibly clearer and fairer complexion, as well as smoother skin texture. ShyCheeeks Experience Im really happy they actually changed the tube, the previous one was a little hard to squeeze and was for 'All Skin Types' Now this comes for Oily/Combination and for Dry Skin I like the concept...

Wishlist #12

1. CLINIQUE Cheek Pop Blush These blushes grabbed my attention the moment I laid my eyes upon them. They look adorable with the beautiful floral relief and I hear it's not just their looks that is spectacular, the creamy-powder hybrid formula is highly praised as well. Peach Pop appeals to me most and perhaps even Berry Pop , though it looks super bright. I really wanted to see them in person when I went to Müller a week ago, but it appears Slovenia is late to the party yet again. Boots international has them for £16.50 (about 20.6 €) . 2. DIOR ADDICT Fluid Stick and MAYBELLINE Color Elixir Lip Color   I used to own loads of lip gloss, but I have since completely switched to lipsticks resulting in a very pathetic lip gloss collection for a beauty enthusiast. These new releases by Maybelline and Dior, which are just a couple of the new takes on very pigmented versions of lip gloss formula, caught my attention. I swatched a few Dior ones in Müller and I really liked them. I al...

Hair Oils Series: Kérastase Elixir Ultime

Image
And the award for the most over-dramatic advertising goes to -  Kérastase (owned by L'Oreal): “The alchemy of four precious oils to beautify hair. A new legend is born, the secret of magnificent hair is revealed.” *Facepaw* Alchemy? Legend? Secret of magnificent hair? Give me a break. Who comes up with these things? It’s a hair product not a trailer for a fantasy blockbuster. Let’s keep it real, please. But let’s focus on the product. Packaging : A clear plastic bottle with a pump. It's good for travelling, not only because it's plastic, but also because the bottle is light. It has a pump that dispenses the product nicely and in small amounts, so it's easy to pump out the desired amount. Because the bottle is clear, it's better to keep it stored in a dark place to protect it from sunlight. Ingredients : First two ingredients are silicones as with all of these hair oils. They are followed by corn oil, argan oil, camelia oil and pracaxi oil. The rest six ingredients a...
