St. Ives Oatmeal Face Scrub and Mask Review

Love the scent this scrub/mask has! St Ives is definitely another fav brand of mine. Also so handy that it’s used as a face scrub AND a face mask! Definitely not too harsh on the skin which I love, brightens the skin a bit. Don’t need too much to cover your face and of course your face is left so so smooth!

St Ives have been around forever! The apricot scrub was one I used regularly in my younger days. I've used this one many times now, I like that the exfolliant is walnut shell powder!

It can be used 2 ways, a mask and a scrub. I prefer to use it as a scrub. I like the consistency, thick and creamy with a nice fresh scent.

I find it is not harsh at all and gives just the right amount of scrubbiness! I make sure I wet my face first then squeeze out a small amount and massage all over. It washes off well and you are left with smooth, soft skin!

I have dry skin and I don't feel like this makes it any worse but of course I always follow up with a good moisturiser.  I think this scrub is great and affordable and I recommend it for all skin types.

This product can be used as a mild scrub and/or a mask. I mainly used it as a scrub, and it stayed in my shower and I never had the patience/time for it to sit as a mask. It is a creamy white lotion with tiny brown granules which are walnut shell powder. I really didn't like the scent- it was like oat, cocoa, honey or something but the combo did not work for me. It left my skin soft and smooth but had a tendency to dry my skin out a bit too much so needed a lot of moisturiser afterwards.

My skin hated this. Super drying after the first use. Maybe ok for teens, but not if you are wanting hydration and not for older skin.

It does leave your face feeling fresh I like the result. My skin feels clean and awake, with no residue. It works particularly well under the shower. I can't recall what it cost but somewhere around $7

I have tried the apricot the green tea and now this one too. I like this one alot though said to be gentle it's moderate in my opinion and does a great job on the face. I particularly like the honey benifits but I do so hope the honey is sustainably sourced I do like bees alot! Product is thick and won't run every where. The honey helps to calm redness and the scent is not over powering. It feels good putting something natural on my skin. Great for a thorough clean and taking off make up without stripping too hard. This is the more creamy like one out of the 3 from this brand. I think it's worth the money. I know people argue that this brand makes scrubs too harsh but they seem to have improved over the years and stripping away the old skin cells on the top always makes your skin look brighter and youthful and the skin underneath is younger you must just ensure you hydrate and care for your skin following exfoliating and use sunscreen.
