Okay so we aren't quite in the midst of Autumn/Winter just yet
but trust me it is coming and I don't know about you but I simply dread washing my face
in the morning when Jack Frost is knocking at the door!
Well if that is something you also dread you may want to invest in St Ives Warming Scrub.
St Ives Warming Scrub is a gentle but effective facial scrub that warms on contact with water.
I did worry that it may burn or sting my skin but can report that the warming sensation is gentle
and warms slightly without any problems.
Another issue I was worried about before testing this was the scent, warming products tend to be spice
scented and that is not something I enjoy, this however has a light floral scent which is based on
Sunflower and Chamomile extracts.
The concept is that by warming the skin, the pores open up and allow the scrub to cleanse
in a more effective manner removing dirt and oil.
St Ives Warming Scrub is a really thick scrub that contains little micro beads,
due to it being thick it is quite difficult to dispense from the tube but balm like when on the skin.
I can't use a scrub daily my skin just goes a little crazy but this does go cleanse really thoroughly
and when testing I couldn't help but think this would be a great addition to anyone's cleansing routine
that wears heavy foundation (Estee Lauder Double Wear etc) as it really does remove every scrap
of dirt, oil, grime and make-up!
Overall a great facial scrub and one that is worth investing in for the chilly weather ahead.
St Ives Warming Scrub* £3.99/125ml and is available from Boots, Superdrug
and selected Supermarkets.
that is soo innovative. ive tried a warming scrub fr aveeno and really enjoyed it too!
ReplyDeleteThis is one for you in that case :)
DeleteThis sounds lovely, I used to have a body scrub from Soap and Glory that warmed up and loved it! Will definitely be trying this x

I think you will love this then :)
DeleteI'm a big fan of Biore's warming scrub so I'm definitely going to have to give this a try :)

I hope you do and if you do let me know how you get one :)
DeleteThis look enticing, but I'm worried the warming will dry out or make my skin break out
ReplyDeleteOh no it doesn't do that in the slightest :)
DeleteI've never heard if a warming scrub, what a good idea! Xo
ReplyDeleteIt is isn't it :)
DeleteThis looks great, what a bargain too!xo
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just :)
DeleteTried the Sanctuary Warming Microbrasion Polish and it's ace, but a bit pricey for my budget at £11.99 to buy all of the time. This sounds very interesting and i can't wait to try.
ReplyDeleteIt is so much cheaper :)
DeleteOoh i love ST Ives, this sounds fabulous :)

I think you'll love this :)
DeleteThis scrub is my HG! Can't do without it and I wondered why no one had ever raved bout it till now. I recently bought the St Ives Makeup Remover and Facial Cleanser with the hopes that it would be just as awesome..Big mistake..it was really bad, left my face feeling dirtier :/....Was not very pleased..xx

Oh no! You are right that does not sound good, what one was that so I know to avoid?
DeleteI need to go out and buy some skin care stuff tomorrow (yay!) and this is definitely on my list. I heard that the St Ives scrubs are some of the best, more affordable, ones out there so I'll give this a go!
ReplyDeleteThey really are :) I love the apricot scrub too :)
DeleteThis sounds nice, I don't like the St Ives Apricot scrub because it's too harsh for me (large bits in it) but this looks quite luxurious really.
ReplyDeleteAh that is totally understandable but this has a softer texture and the scrub element is little beads so it is softer :)
DeleteI love warming products, I love how they feel on the skin :) Will definitely be trying this- I had a sample of the Dermalogica one and loved it but it's just a little too pricey :(

I tried that one too and have to say they are quite similar :)
DeleteI love this scrub, everytime my friends ask which scrub to get, I always recommend this one. It was the first scrub I ever tried and it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteX
It is a great buy :) glad you enjoy it too!
DeleteSounds good to try, but it really annoys me when I have to SQUEEZE the tube to get proper amount :S
ReplyDeleteI hate that too haha!
Deletesounds so nice for evening pampering!
ReplyDeleteOhh I never thought of that, good call :)
DeleteI love warming face scrubs. They definitely do feel like they are doing more. Although that might just be all in my head. Lovely on a cold winter evening though :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think it all in your head as I feel the same :)
Deleteyes a complete treat in the cold weather :)
This looks brill and amazing for deep cleaning! Xx
ReplyDeleteI keep hearing so many good things about St Ives products, and loving the price tags as well! This sounds perfect for a pamper session too. I've got a warming Sanctury mask, which I admit did feel a bit weird when I first put it on, you can't help thinking 'how do they make it do that?!' it really does go so warm on application!
