Tried And Tested: Naturally Clear Blemish & Blackhead Control Apricot Scrub

Hello!
 
So I thought I should start doing some ‘Tried and Tested’ posts, testing various beauty products, including shampoos/conditioners, skin products, make-up and other beauty products I think you’ll like. Each trial will last around a month so I can really see how the product works over a long period, but to make it more interesting I’m going to trial one skin/hair product and one make-up product per month. Each day of each trial I’m going to write down a little bit about how my skin is and how I’m finding the product. At the end of each month test, I will blog about my findings for you to read!

The first product I am going to test is the St Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub Blemish & Blackhead Control

“Effectively lifts away surface oils and dirt that can lead to blackheads and blemishes”


The brand was recommended to be by my mum, whilst I was searching for an exfoliator scrub that was suitable for my blemish-prone skin. I’ve heard of the brand but I’d never used any of their products so I am quite excited to see what happens! I choose the product because it is specially made for oily/blemish prone skin. I also liked the sound of the apricot smell. According to the St Ives Website: " 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." . The product also contains Corn Kernel Meal. "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." and Walnut "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." Cornmeal makes softer-feeling, fresher skin possible. St Ives is meant to be the UK’s #1 Scrub brand so I am expecting good things to come from using this product.

Wish me luck!


P.S: If you have any products you would like me to test, comment them and i'll do my best :)
