Do you need a scrub for sensitive skin?

Day two of our Scrub-a-thon!  Today we're putting a really awesome product up for review.  Yes, it's time to introduce the multi-tasking scrub - and exfoliant and mask in one!  One product, three ways to use it.  This nifty product can be used as a gentle exfoliating scrub to smooth away dry skin, or applied as a mask for a nourishing treatment.  The third way?  Well you can use it both ways at once - simply scrub and leave for smooth, supple for skin.

We're need twenty members to trial and review the St Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter Smooth & Hydrated Facial Scrub.  

This scrub is made with 100% natural exfoliant - walnut shell powder, which gently buffs your skin.  This is a low-exfoliation scrub, making it perfect for use on sensitive skin.  Sensitive skin or not, this scrub promises to smooth away dullness and leave skin looking and feeling soft and healthy.

When used as a mask it promises to instantly nourish skin!  The oatmeal soothes and neutralises inflamed, sensitive skin, while the shea butter hydrates dry skin.  

This scrub and mask is hypoallergenic, paraben free, dermatologist tested and non-comedogenic.

So if you'd like to be one of twenty ladies putting this to the test, why not get chatting to us about your sensitive skin?  Are you a regular scrubber or is it something that usually irritates more than it does help?   Have you ever used a 2-in-1 scrub before?  Did you like it?  Why do you want a spot on this trial team?

Go on, get chatting below!

Wow this sounds like the best of both worlds!! I love products that are a scrub and masque combined! And it's all natural! Sensitive skin can be such a pain, I do worry about trying new products in case it irritates my skin. I try to be a regular scrubber and exfoliate lightly about once a week. I have used a 2 in 1 scrub before and I absolutely loved it! It saves so much time and effort! I want a spot on this trail team as this sounds like a product I would really love and benefit from. Plus this brand is easily accessible and affordable so if I love it like I think I would I know I will easily be able to repurchase!

My skin is frustratingly sensitive so shopping for a good scrub can be difficult as many scrubs tend to dry out and irritate my skin. Often my skin will become red and it will feel way too tight and "squeaky clean" which I do not like. This scrub sounds perfect for my problematic skin as I really love how it has kind and gentle ingredients, it's moisturising and hydrating but yet it still exfoliates.

I like to use scrubs made for sensitive skin because I find normal scrubs break me out. But even then, I try to only scrub once a week to limit the risk. At the moment, I am trying to move away from scrubs with plastic beads just because they are so harmful to fish. I have never tried a 2 in 1 scrub yet but why not? I would love to try this product out to see how good it is for sensitive skin.

When I first read the title of this I saw the word scrub and thought "hmmm maybe not for me." I used to love scrubs but I often find them way too harsh on my skin. I loved the feeling of a cleanser that was really doing something though. So I was torn! If this scrub is less harsh on my skin and really does the job then sign me up!!

I do love scrubs but my skin can not handle them on a daily basis so I keep them for a weekend ritual. Oatmeal & Shea Butter sound so luxuriously moisturising and walnut shell powder is the cherry on top of the cake ! Would be very keen to trial this !

This sounds like its made for me! I love the feeling of a scrub the day after using it, only because the day of my face tends to be pretty sore, my skin can't handle a full on scrub, but I wish I could do it all the time, then my skin would feel great all the time!

Personally not a fan of the St Ives product, I remember their apricot scrub irritating my skin, even their 'sensitive' version so I reckon it would hard to convince me to love their products. Also I always found it funny how they would advertise natural ingredients but there would be heaps of chemicals with the few natural ingredients. (so for the negative comment - it's just my opinion)

I never thought that I had sensitive skin until I got a assessment done one day and they broke the news. It tends to get quite oily and especially when I use a harsh scrub it can get much worse. Love the idea of a scrub with the particles in a gentle powder form - however my skin is the opposite of dry these days!

I like the look of this scrub, I need something for pores on my face and uneven skin tone.

I have used scrubs over the years but currently have been using mud masks - natural, they harden and I can easily wash off when I shower. Scrubs haven't irritated my skin, in fact it feels the product is doing something and my skin feels revitalized.  I would be keen to try a scrub again to compare and see if it works.

Facial scrubs in the past have just sounded like peeling my face with a grater. Fear of the unknown effects has kept me from trying. So, I very rarely use anything stronger than a cleanser. I should probably break out of my comfort zone and see what it can do, especially as it does 2-3 things at nce - I'm a real multi tasker! :)

Oh my, this looks amazing. With sensitive skin Im always wary but the apricot St Ives has worked for me before. I love oat and their magical powers and would love to give this a try.

13th February, 2017

Would love to try this please have heard its amazing !

13th February, 2017

This sounds amazing!! Over exfoliating makes my skin dry and sensitive to touch. I am always on the look out for a gentle but effective face scrub and this one sounds perfect.

13th February, 2017

This would be a dream to trial! i love using scrubs on my body but can't on my face as i always end up, dry, red and in pain if i use a scrub on my face as my skin is quite sensitive, but i love the results that scrubs give - so being able to get those results without the pain would be amazing!
