All time favourite scrub
I recently tried the St. Ives Apricot Scrub and here’s my detailed review: **Packaging:** The product is housed in a sturdy, squeezable tube that’s easy to use and ensures you can get every last bit of the scrub out. The flip-top cap makes it convenient for use in the shower. **Texture and Scent:** The scrub has a thick, creamy base with noticeable exfoliating particles. The apricot scent is fresh and invigorating, making the exfoliation experience quite pleasant. **Performance:** The scrub does an excellent job of sloughing away dead skin cells and leaving the skin feeling smooth. However, the exfoliating particles are quite large and can be harsh, particularly for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin. For those with tougher skin types, it can provide a deep exfoliation that feels refreshing and leaves the skin looking clearer. **Ingredients:** The exfoliating particles are derived from walnut shell powder, which is natural but also a bit controversial due to its abrasiveness. The scrub also contains apricot extract, which is supposed to help promote healthier skin. It’s free from parabens and made with 100% natural exfoliants. **Value for Money:** The scrub is very affordable and widely available, making it an accessible option for many people looking for a budget-friendly exfoliant. Overall, the St. Ives Apricot Scrub can be a good option for those with non-sensitive skin looking for a vigorous exfoliation. It's effective in removing dead skin and smoothing the skin’s surface. However, due to the potential harshness of the walnut shell powder, it might not be suitable for sensitive, delicate, or acne-prone skin, and overuse should be avoided to prevent skin damage. Moderation and gentle application are key to getting the best results from this product
