St Ives Elements Part 1: The Micro Scrub

I’ve rarely met a scrub that I didn’t like. Nothing feels as good as massaging my tired mug with an invigorating facial scrub. And the new St. Ives Elements Microdermabrasion Scrub is no exception. In fact … loved it. After a long day of running around in a full face of makeup, I cracked open the scrub after my nightly cleansing ritual. Rich in Vitamin E and chamomile to soothe and nourish skin, the product has tiny micro crystals derived from all-natural sand. The formula has a creamy texture that gently glides across the skin and the fresh, happy scent is so delicious that it’s easy to get carried away. The scrub rinses off clean, leaving the slightest layer of moisture. The next morning, I woke up to glowing, super smooth skin. Can’t beat that! The product literature says that the scrub is gentle enough for everyday use but for most people, I’d recommend using it one to two times per week with time out for one of the other St. Ives Elements facial exfoliators like the Warming Scrub (with jojoba and sucrose) or the Olive Scrub (with olive leaf extract). Get the St. Ives Elements Microdermabrasion Scrub at your local drugstore or mass market retailer for $7.99. Up next: the innovative new St. Ives Protective SPF Cleanser. Does it work?
