Scent:
*I usually like to start with packaging but
  for this product I am starting with the scent.
*The first time I smelled this I thought it was
  different scent I never smelled before, I looked at
  the description and I've smelled Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil, but never the gera
  nium the more I smelled it, I could pick up the sweetness of the geranium.So if
  you are sensitive to scents I would recommend smelling this in store before purchasing.

Product:
*Bought this product to replace my previous non-cruelty free
  moisturizer.
*Like any new product I did a test spot on my neck to see how
  my skin would react to it.
*The moisturizer is thick so a little bit goes a long way.
*When I first purchased I was not using this consistently and never
  noticed a change.
*So with the second jar I have been using it consistently
 and my face has gotten smoother and my makeup looks
 so much better.
*I like to use this twice a day once in the morning and the second before bed.

Before using Avalon Organics, I used St.Ives green tea cleanser,
but I found out that st.ives is not a cruelty free company and is now owned
by Unilever. The first thing I was about to run out of was the above mentioned

st.ives cleanser, so I started on a search for a cruelty free cleanser and came upon this brand

from the leaping bunny list is cruelty free products.

Product:
It's a thick gel, so a little bit goes a long way...

I love the way it leaves my skin feeling soft, cleansed, and leaves my skin with a nice glow after.

Does a great job of removing makeup.
Does not leave my face feeling dry, and no flimy residue after it's rinsed off.
Great for all skin types, And has helped clear up little blemishes that I had.

Natural product without the harmful chemicals..

 

Scent:
The Scent is not overpowering.
The orange scent does lessen during use..

 

How I use it:

I prefer to use it at night only before bed.
I have Combination oily skin, if I wash over wash my face, my skin reacts to the dryness by    producing more oils to compensate.
A small pump of this goes along way and lathers well.
If Im wearing liquid eyeliner I use one pump for my eyes alone and another for the rest of my face.

 

Would I recommend this Product ?

Yes, it works for all skin types.
If you are sensitive to smells I would air on the side of caution...


Hope you found this review helpful....
Thanks so much for reading...

My Skin Care Faves

St.Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub

Blemish & Blackhead Control

My Skin ♥

My skin has always been dry, no major acne problems accept the occasional pimple from stress, lack of water, bad eating habits, or mother nature paying me a visit.

Before St.Ives..♥

Before using this product the only thing I would use to wash my face was soap and water and whatever lotion we had at the house at the time.

*Fights Blemishes without over drying

*Exfoliates to prevent Blemishes & Clean Pores

♥Ingredients

Apricots : Apricot oil is known to hydrate & nourish the skin

                 *Carotenoids (similar to Vitamin A) or Carotene which is found in foods like

                                              *carrots    *Pumpkins

                                              *Spinach   *Tomatoes

                                              *Oranges   * Hot Chili Peppers

                  *All have at least one or more members of the carotene family known as

                    Caretenoids.

            

             Powerful antioxidants

             It may seem like to much power but it's super gentle.

Corn Kernnel Meal:

        Flour ground from dried corn 

        Cornmeal makes softer feeling fresh skin possible

        Soft but gently powerful,all natural exfoliant that promotes skin cell turnover

           and regeneration.

Walnuts: 

        all natural exfoliant ingredient in the scrub

        Known for its hard shell, but when its ground it becomes an amazingly 

         effective all natural exfoliant in the scrub.

How I use it..

Step 1 : I splash my face with hot water 3 times, waiting 15 seconds between

             splash,this gives your pores time to open up.

Step 2 : Apply Scrub, I put a little more on my forehead and nose..

Step 3 :  Let it set for at least 5 minutes

             I get a tingling feeling which lets me know its doing what its supposed to be 

             doing which is fighting those ugly blackheads...bleh!!

             I will admit I do leave it on longer than 5 mins, my routine in the shower is 

             Shampoo,apply St.Ives,Conditioner,remove st.Ives scrub.

Step 4 : Rinse it off..

Step 5 : Apply cold water using the same method as the hot water.

Freshly exposed skin may be prone to moisture loss,so when you use the scrub its really important to moisturize after you get out of the shower.

Using this scrub your skin should more readily absorb the moisturizer that you put on afterwards

Reviews..

There have been so many good reviews about this scrub..and of course there are some bad reviews...

The bad reviews have mostly been about the scrub not removing enough blackheads.

Im not gonna lie when Im in a hurry in the morning for work or school, I don't leave the scrub on for that long, and I do notice that It doesn't get rid of alot of the blackheads..

I would assume that people use it leave it on for less than 3 minutes and right when it starts working they rinse it off.I would bet that if they left it on for 3 minutes like the package says they would have better results.

Other bad reviews are because the exfoliating beads over dry their skin..if you have sensitive skin I would recommend using the one for sensitive skin instead of the orange naturally clear banner, it has a purple sensitive skin banner.

I have nothing but good thing to say about this product..hope this review helped..

Thank You for taking time out of your day to read this...
