Delicious and honest!

After a week of camping, this scrub made me happy with my skin again.

When I read the article about a face sugar scrub I was blown away. It's something I'd never thought about even though using other kinds of face scrub is normal. And I was even happier to see that there were options for people with sensitive skin (yay, it's for me too!).

Starting off with the packaging, I do like the pottle. It means there is no never quite getting all your product out of a tube (especially hard when it comes to scrubs). It looks quite chic and is a different shape to my other face products so is easy to find without my glasses on.

But onto the important part: the product. From the moment I opened it, this scrub smelt divine! It was very tempting to take a bite. But don't do that, because you don't want to miss out on what this does for your skin. The sugar was surprisingly fine and there was a nice amount of cocoa butter to help it move and melt on my face. I did have to use more than I usually would for my normal cleansing face scrub, but there is enough product in the pottle for me to be happy using more, I know it'll last a while. According to the directions you are supposed to gently massage the scrub until the sugars dissolve - this I didn't do on all parts of my face, as I found on my more dry/sensitive spots a shorter time was more comfortable. But a warm face cloth was enough to finish that off. And I guess that's one of the great things about this scrub, you can play with the amount you scrub according to your skin's needs.

After drying off my face I was so impressed, I honestly couldn't stop stroking my own face. (I also got the hubby to feel!) And what's even better is that this has been a lasting improvement. So definitely a huge thumbs up for me!!

Tips: On the box it says you can use it as a lip scrub too... do it. Doooooooo iiiiiiiiiit!

Dry and Sensitive Skin Friendly!

L’Oreal Paris Nourishing Sugar Scrub is thick and creamy in texture, with 3 sugars which are described as “fine” but I found to be hardy enough to get to work on my very dry, flaky and sensitive skin. To apply you simply scoop it out of the pretty, simple jar, and gently apply to clean, dry skin as you would with any other scrub - one concern with this is the hygiene factor, but if your hands are clean and dry before application, this should be *too* much of an issue! Then add a little warm water to melt the sugars before rinsing off.

It is lightly frangranced (I personally felt it smelled a little like cheapish Shea Butter); but the smell doesn’t linger for long.

It comes in quite a small jar, and I felt as though it wouldn’t last awfully long given the amount you need to apply to get a good coverage of product, however it left my skin feeling so smooth, buffed away all flakiness and didn’t irritate my skin at all that I would definitely purchase this again.

What I truly loved about this product is that it wasn’t super harsh but the sugars weren’t so fine that they didn’t actually do anything. After two weeks of using the product, my skin is smooth and dewy and feels super hydrated - I just wish they’d make a bigger size!

Tips: Not going to lie - loved how it made my skin feel on my face so much that I used a wee bit on my legs after shaving - divine! Even my boyfriend commented on how smooth and silky my legs felt! If you can afford to repurchase the product fairly often, I’d advise giving it a go on your legs and arms as well!

So Nourishing!

Thanks to BR yet again for putting me on such an exciting trial! When BR first put up a post about these scrubs my initial thought was OMG I NEED THOSE!! Of course I've heard (but not used) of sugar scrubs for your body but not before for your face. And being L'Oreal it was kind of a big deal.

The product comes in a heavy duty glass jar with a secure tight screw on lid - anything that comes in a glass jar gets my tick of approval. The product is light brown which reminds me of a mixture of chocolate ice-cream and chocolate mousse. It feels fluffy with a bit of texture to the touch. However once on your face I ultimately know my face is getting the exfoliation fix I need. It feels great on my skin, as I said I get a good scrub, and at the same time the product moisturises my skin and leaves it feeling so soft. I wouldn't say the scent is to die for but it certainly smells great.

The packaging states the product is suitable for your face and lips but I kinda went overboard and tried it on my hands, knees and elbows and it worked a treat.

Would I buy it? Heck yes! My dry skin loves this sugar scrub!

Tips: Make sure your face is bone dry to start or the water will melt away the scrub; don't store in your shower (whilst the lid is tightly fitted, if you use it in the shower you're more likely to get drops of water in the pot)

Best scrub I've ever used!

I received this product to trial in exchange for a review.

The jar is very simple looking, there's not much to say there. The product looks like chocolate mousse and smells delicious. Mmmmm!

Also the lid is secure enough for you to store the jar in your shower without worry that water will leak inside. Since the product doubles as a lip scrub that's one less item you have to store, space efficient!

My skin type is dry, and this product left my skin feeling more soft, nourished and moisturized than it has ever felt. I have to actively stop myself from touching my face just to feel how great it is.

When I run out of this jar I will certainly buy another, I have finally found "my" scrub that works perfect for me.

Tips: It's easiest to use this product in the shower, and ensure that you follow the instructions on the packaging.

Cocoa Butter Goodness

Firstly I would Love to pin point how amazing this product is to use. It is so versitile to use and easy to follow instructions. I have never heard of a sugar scrub before so I was very much interested in getting stuck into trialling this product. My skin is drys out with most scrubs so I'm very particular when it comes to using certain brands. I absolutely love the cocoa buttery scent and think that the texture is so easy to apply. I used this 3x in one week and was amazed with the results. My skin looked healthier with a beautiful tan glow and purely natural. I will definitely keep my eye on this product as a must have

Thrice-weekly Treat

My skin has been crying out for some extra nourishment, but it took using this product to realise it.

Like most L'Oreal products, this came in a beautifully packaged box. Just the colours of warm chocolate and gold suggested I was in for a bit of pampering goodness. At first, when I pulled the jar out, I was a little disappointed as it is very plain and didn't have the instructions on the back as I'm used to, then noticed after a day that they ARE actually there, hidden away under a clever peel-away sticker which seals back once you've finished reading. Love that. I also grew to love the look of the plain jar in my shower. It is clean and the large type makes it quick to recognize. The flat lid is great for stacking in my beauty cupboard too, so great for storing if you're not going to keep it in the shower.

You apply the product to a dry face and with dry hands, then add warm water to fingertips to 'melt' the grains of sugar and rub gently. This wasn't so much fun over the sink, as water ran down my arms, so the next couple of times I used it in the shower. The scent is divine! Chocolate butter....mmmm. It's also recommended to use on your lips, which is fabulous. I highly recommend doing this. My lippie has never looked as good as it has this week! Once I washed it off with warm water, I was surprised at how moisturised my skin felt. I hadn't tested not applying moisturiser afterwards as I fear my skin drying out and going patchy, but it certainly felt like you could get away without moisturising afterwards. I might be brave and try this on the weekend.

All in all, I really adored this product, and with the RRP being so reasonable, this will be a staple in my cupboards.

Tips: Apply to a dry face in the shower for ease of application and easy rinse-off.

What a sugary gem!

I was thrilled to bits to get on this trial. I love sugar scrubs and usually make my own so I was excited to try this out. It comes in a sturdy glass jar with a screw on lid. Looks quite simple but luxurious.

My skin is very dry at the moment so the word nourishing really appeals to me. First the smell, omg it smells like chocolate! I love it, it is not overpowering at all. It is quite thick and a rich brown so also looks a bit like chocolate, unfortunately it does not taste too good! Lol that was an accidental taste test when I used it on my lips, it left them super smooth though.

I like to use this in the shower, I wet my face a little and scoop a bit out then massage around my face, the sugar is so fine so it is not too harsh which is nice, it gives a nice light exfoliation then it melts into my skin, simply rinse off and boom, beautiful soft skin!

It does not leave my face feeling tight at all and it feels quite moisturised. I have sensitive skin and got no burning or redness. It is even gentle enough to use everyday as that is what I have been doing.

A gorgeous sugar scrub which I would purchase when it runs out. Definitely recommend for ladies with dry skin. Love it!

Packs a punch

The container is compact so makes it easy to store a long side my face creams. On first impressions it looks like a clay mask rather than an exfoliator. I have keratosis pillaris (chicken skin like bumps on my cheeks) this means my skin cells turnover quicker then they slough off. So exfoliating is a must. I took a small amount and applied it to cleansed, dry skin. On my fingers it didn’t feel like it would have much exfoliating power, but I was so wrong. I started on my cheeks and was surprised at how rough it felt. I added a little warm water and gently rubbed in circular motions and the sugar dissolved and left my face moisturised and so smooth and soft! First smell from the jar and it smells a little like chocolate but once you start using it, it smells like liquorice on your face. If you can handle that smell I would highly recommend trying it. I’ve been using it for a week, the instructions said use 3 times a week but I’ve used in every day on my cheeks but left it to twice for the rest of my face. I have dry skin and this feels so moisturising.

Tips: Start with the rough areas

Soft, smooth and nourished skin

I really enjoyed trialing this product and am planning on repurchasing when it runs out. The packaging is quite plain but very functional. The top screws off easily to reveal the product.

It is quite thick with the consistency of thick, moist brown sugar and smells like it too. The product goes onto the face easily and dissolves quickly with some warm water. Due to being a sugar scrub, it exfoliates the face well without any harsh scratching. Afterwards I feel that my skin is a lot smoother, softer and in a much better condition. I also use this on my lips and feel like they are a lot softer and in better condition as well.

Overall, I think this is well worth the price and will be repurchasing.

Tips: You don't need to use too much as it works really well.

L'Oréal Paris Sugar Scrubs Nourishing Face Scrub

I was so excited to be given the opportunity to try out this new L’Oreal Paris Sugar Scrub!

The product arrived and it is a generous size container which is sure to last a good few months. I love the style of the container in which you can either use your fingertips to scoop out some product, or alternatively a scraper of some sort to scoop out some product. I love that you can literally use every last teeny bit of the product!

I guess the only negative for me would be that the packaging seems a little bit plain, nothing fancy. Something I would more so put in my bathroom cupboard than put out on display.

I received the cocoa scrub and it smells divine! The scrub is designed to tackle dull skin and is enriched with sugars to gently exfoliate and cleanse, it is a natural product and you can not only use this on your face in lips. I have tried this on my face and lips and my skin is definitely feeling smoother and makes me feel like my skin is glowing. Lips also are smoother and this provides a great base with lipstick to go on a lot smoother with less flakiness. The sugar scrub combined with some warm water just melts into the skin. I leave the scrub on my skin for a couple of minutes while in the shower and before washing it off with warm water and I feel I get better results from doing that.

There was definitely a noticeable difference after just the first use which I don’t get often with other skincare products. This has not caused my skin to break out at all either or left it dry. I have a normal skin type with slight dry skin in winter.

Definitely recommend and will repurchase.

Tips: Leave on for as couple of minutes while you shower before washing off with warm water for better results :)
