St Ives Apricot Body Scrub

Ok so lets cut to the chase – I love a good body scrub & have used a fair few over the years. I have been happy with many of them but this purple pot has become my NUMBER 1! It’s my new favourite scrub.

I picked it up in Superdrug the other week, it was half price so I only paid £2.49 — that’s a bargain in my book. I’ve tried a St Ives face scrub before and didn’t really like that. I know some people love it but I wasn’t a fan. But this I’m a HUGE fan off.

This is packed full of pink exfoliating beads & a good amount too. So you get really smooth skin after. Some exfoliators I find don’t have enough beads in & so don’t leave my skin as smooth. It also is a lovely creamy texture which feels like its moisturising too. It smells lovely and fresh – not sweet but really creamy and clean (excuse my crappy explanation). So you get exfoliated & hydrated at the same time. Thats perfect for me.

This is a milder formula aimed at sensitive skin – I haven’t used the original formula so can’t say how this new differs. Other than it must be slightly more gentle being aimed at sensitive skin. I can say that this doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or red. You don’t need to rub hard to get great results. I’m thrilled with this. I know it’s only a scrub but I’m very happy with it.
