Is Blemish Control the St Ives scrub for you?

Poll posted by BR Natalie

We've got something a little bit exciting to see us through the end of the week and over the weekend - we've teamed with our fabulous friends at St Ives to bring you not one, but THREE trial opportunities.  Scrubbers - we're looking for you!!  Let's start with...scrub-ortunity number one.

If you've got your cleansing, toning and moisturising down, but your skin is still lacking a little something-something, you might want to add in 1-2 exfoliating sessions a week.  You can literally scrub away the old/dead skin and face your day fresh faced and shiny-new.

It doesn't matter what skin type you have (even sensitive), regular, gentle exfoliation can help.  Here's 5 ways exfoliating your face is a good thing:

  1. It can reduce breakouts.  Acne prone and oil skin generally sheds more skin cells - but instead of falling off, they stick to the oils in your skin, clogging pores and creating spots.  Exfoliating can help remove the skin cell debris and prevent a build up.
  2. It can reduce large pores. Clogged pores look larger - exfoliating unclogs the pores allows them to shrink back in size.
  3. It can improve the texture of your skin.  Getting rid of dead cells allows new cells to take their place.  Essentially your skin will go from dull to bright!
  4. It can help your skin absorb other products better.  Blocked pores will not absorb your lotions and potions as efficiently as unclogged pores.  A huge bonus is that it allows sunscreen to absorb more and better protect your skin.
  5. It can help prevent the signs of ageing.  Exfoliating smoothes the skin and helps it keep it's elasticity.

The St. Ives Apricot Blemish Control Scrub is perfect for all of these things - but especially formulated to tackle point number one - breakouts and blemishes.  This delicious scrub smells of fuzzy apricots and contains Salicylic Acid to help reduce breakouts before they even occur.

The exfoliants are 100% natural for a gentle, deep cleanse.  It's oil and paraben free, dermatologist tested & non comedogenic, meaning it won't block your pores.

So if you'd like to be one of twenty ladies putting this to the test, why not get chatting to us about your exfoliating habits?  Are you a regular scrubber or is it something you need to start including in your skincare routine?  For the regular exfoliators among us, do you notice a change if you skip a session?  Are you suffering from blemishes and breakouts that the St. Ives Apricot Blemish Control Scrub could help with? 

Go on, get chatting below - we might pick you!

I want to use this scrub and control blemish problem for clearer snd more glowing skin. The poll presented by Natalie sounds like what I need for my biggest concern

21st July, 2017

I love st Ives and their apricot range. So need this for my blackheads and occasional breakout.

26th February, 2017

I don't exfoliate much but I need to start doing it more often I'm 31 and I've just quit smoking would be good to see if this helps improve my skin

23rd February, 2017

At times my skin seems to be sensitive and from some of the comments below this scrub is worth trying. I don't exfoliate often but I need to start doing it on a regular basis! :)

23rd February, 2017

As I have never been able to take care of my skin and it has started to look dull and pigmented I think this product will be a gods gift and I would really like to try.

23rd February, 2017

Wow this sounds like it is exactly what I need! I always have breakouts and blemishes and I am just so over them! I'm nearly 22, this shouldn't be happening. Maybe this product will be the one I need! From the ingredients and the benefits it sounds like a great product! I like to exfoliate at least once a week, but maybe I should be exfoliating twice a week and see how that goes. I definitely do notice a change if I don't exfoliate for awhile, I have more acne, dry skin and larger pores. I am definitely suffering from blemishes and breakouts that the St. Ives Apricot Blemish Control Scrub could help me with!!!

21st February, 2017

I would love to try a scrub that's gentle but still made for blemish prone skin like mine! I suffer from acne and breakouts, I've tried so many products that have done nothing for my acne. I try to use a scrub twice a week to help remove dead skin cells to stop my giant pores from getting clogged. This product sounds ideal for my skin and its needs - I would be more than happy to try it out.

20th February, 2017

For the past year I have just had constant breakouts. Especially on my chin. It is such a pain and I'm yet to find the cleanser that really keeps them at bay! I love the smell of the St Ives Apricot body scrub - I can just stand in the shower smelling the bottle!! Haha. So I need to try the Apricot face scrub now that I know it exists!!

20th February, 2017

I have always suffered from blemishes and breakouts (mainly on my chin), I don't currently use a scrub regularly but have used one maybe once a week. I love how much skin feels after a good scrub. Would love to try this product to see if it will help my skin clear up. Teenage acne problems in my 30's is not what I want!

20th February, 2017

i used to use this brand as a teenager, but as new things come out i stopped using it! from what i remember, the smell is absolutely divine and the texture is super gritty so it exfoliates really well! if i was to use this now, id use it to help with my blemishes but to also help remove makeup & fake tan! x

It can reduce breakouts. It can reduce large pores. It can improve the texture of your skin. It can help your skin absorb other products better. It can help prevent the signs of ageing. Yes,yes,yes , yes and yes ! Yes please ! I love St Ives products and would absolutely love to trial this !

19th February, 2017

I'm keen to try a good scrub. I scrub a few times a week but need to ensure I give my skin a rest in between as I have quite sensitive skin. My skin is prone to blemishs and breakouts so I would be keen to try St Ives and see if it does what it promises to do.

18th February, 2017

I love scrubs ! Definitely keen to give this a go, I have so many blemishes and spots on my forehead that wont seem to go away since I was preganant! Love the scent of St Ives too!

16th February, 2017

I used to use similiar products when I was younger, but I definitely overused them. I'd use them every day, rather than every couple of days, so I'm guessing they did more harm than good. It'd be interesting to see how they react with my skin now that I'm a bit older and definitely more wiser regarding my skincare routine.

15th February, 2017

I used this scrub in my late teens early 20s and man my skin did not appreciate it! I broke out worse than what I already was and it dried my skin out significantly. I do wonder as my skin has matured aether it'd be any different today?
