Gorgeous glowing skin with one product!

I must admit I was worried when I first received this product. I thought that smearing sugar all over your face would only lead to one thing... breakouts! But this is certainly not the case with the L'Oreal Glow Face Sugar Scrub.

The scrub comes in a sturdy glass container that looks pricer than the $19.99 price tag would suggest. It comes with 50ml of product. It's hard to picture this size in real terms, but it is a decent amount. I must have used this at least 5 times now and I have hardly made a dent in it.

The scrub smells like a mixture of brown sugar and citrus. It is a pleasant scent that isn't overpowering. The consistency of the scrub is actually quite smooth considering there are three types of sugar in it. You can definitely still feel the grains of sugar but they are fine enough to use on the face. Their size is similar to that of caster sugar (possibly even a bit smaller).

When using this product I follow a method similar to the one L'Oreal suggests. Before I hop in the shower, I smear a decent amount of the scrub all over my face (and also down my neck/chest if I'm feeling generous). Then when I get in the shower, I slightly wet my hands and begin to massage my face. This turns the scrub into more of a paste. Then I leave it on my skin for a bit and finish by washing it off with lukewarm water. I use this scrub every 2-3 days.

I have combination skin (oily around the nose/chin and normal everywhere else) and my skin has had a very positive experience with this scrub. I honestly didn't think a product like this would make my skin glow or become more radiant, but that's exactly what it has done! Without makeup on my skin actually has a natural glow that wasn't there before. My skin is also left feeling very soft each time I use it.

The one thing I found it didn't work for was exfoliating my lips. I prefer my lip scrubs to have coarser sugar. This scrub has fine sugar which just didn't work for removing dead skin on my lips. I also don't think it's edible like some lip scrubs can be and it's very difficult to avoid getting it in your mouth.

Overall I loved this scrub and would definitely look at purchasing it again.

L'Oreal Paris Sugar Scrub

I am so cautious about using sugar scrubs on my face as they can be quite harsh and cause minute scratches to your skin. L'Oreal always do pretty good products so I leaped at the chance to trial this one! First off, the packaging is quite nice, it's a lot plainer than what I would expect from this brand but I really like that. The container is glass with plastic lid. The product itself looks exactly as you would expect, finely ground sugar in a brown suspension. It smells yummy and sweet, it's thick enough to hold its shape on your finger and along with its oily consistency, has the ability to spread easily on your skin. I applied it to my chin, forehead and cheeks. I avoided the orbital area for obvious reasons. I rubbed in light circular movements all over and then let it sit for a few minutes. I then applied some water to my fingertips and exfoliated a wee bit longer. After I removed it all, my skin texture felt soft, fresh and smooth. I am totally rapt and will be popping this on my regular skincare list. I have used this several times now and like how my skin seems to have a fresher tone to it.

Tips: Avoid the eye area. Do not over exfoliate Follow with a soothing mask

Sugar Scrub

This scrub comes in a square glass jar (if you’ve used the L’Oreal masks it’s the same), this is quite unusual for a face scrub, but gives it a bit more of a luxe feel.

The product itself is a deep golden brown colour, a lot like syrup, it also has a very similar scent to syrup, a sweet caramelised brown sugar smell. The texture is, as you’d imagine is grainy from the sugar.

When you pick up some of the scrub on your hand it has a light golden colour on the skin; it doesn’t visibly stain but maybe what helps with the glowing finish.

The scrub feels really satisfying on your skin, you can feel it scrubbing (some scrubs have such tiny particles it feels a little too smooth on the skin) but in the same token it is gentle on the skin and doesn’t feel scratchy or rough.

The other bonus to this scrub is that you can use it on your lips. I love this as I get really dry skin on my lips. It says not to ingest, so I always rinse it off rather than lick it off (like you can with some lip scrubs). I don’t find this to be a problem because I do my lips the same time as the rest of my face.

I really enjoy using this scrub my skin feels soft and smooth after using it, and I haven’t experienced any spots or breakouts.

Tips: I apply in the shower before getting my face wet.

It's a no-glow for me

I chose the Glow Scrub because I loved the description of the brightening ingredients – ‘grapeseed oil to illuminate the skin’ sounds too good to pass up right?!

The packaging is nice with the usual L’Oreal square glass jar – easy to grip with wet hands, and clear so you can see how much product you have left. It took me a while to find, but you can also peel the label on the back of the jar to reveal the instructions.

The scrub contains 3 fine sugars to exfoliate, described as brown blonde and white – I’ve never heard sugar described like that before and I’m not sure whether they act differently on the skin or not. I still haven’t been able to nail down the scent, it’s almost like caramel but with the grapeseed oil scent it’s sort of citrusy. The product itself is really thick, and you only need a small amount.

The instructions say to apply to dry skin and then wet fingertips for a small amount of water. There was lots of trial and error for me to get the right balance; using the scrub without water feels really tacky and pulls at the skin, too much water and the sugar dissolves straight away and doesn’t feel like there’s any exfoliating action happening.

I really wanted to like this product, but it just doesn’t tick many boxes for me. After using it several different ways I am on the fence. My skin feels soft after using it, but I haven’t noticed any change in appearance – definitely no glow!

Tips: Play with the balance of water to get the right feel for you.

L'Oreal Sugar Scrub Glow

I am very cautious about using any type of scrub on my face as they can be quite harsh and dry my skin out.

But this one surprised me. First off, the packaging is nice, the box states the most important details about the Sugar Scrub and the colour of the box is in the same tone as the actual scrub. The like how the container is square glass and the lid is easily removed even with wet hands.

The product itself is a thick but the finely ground sugar mix doesn't fall off the fingers. It smells yummy and sweet. It's is thick but the Grape Seed Oil and Monoi Oil help it spread easily on the skin with no pulling.

I applied it all over my face except eyes. I rubbed in light circular movements all over and then I applied some water to my fingertips and exfoliated a bit longer, adding more water to my fingers until the Sugar Scrub melted. Once I rinsed it off, my skin texture felt soft, fresh and smooth, I had a slight glow and amazingly it didn't feel tight nor did I feel the need for moisturiser.

I have used this three times now and like how my skin doesn't feel tight or dry and love that it has a smoother feel as my makeup goes on better and seems to last a bit longer to.

I am in love with this product and will be buying more once I have used this all up.

Tips: Avoid the eye area and don't rub to hard, just use gentle fingers

Scrub but no glow

The packaging for this scrub is a bit unusual it comes in a glass jar similar to their recent face masks (which are amazing by the way!). With long nails I did find it a bit hard to get the product out nicely with gouging into it. The product itself is quite thick and you only need a small amount.

I popped a few bits on my face and then the instructions said with wet hands massage until sugar melts. Which is a different technique to what I normally do with scrubs, but thought it would be best to try it the way the product was intended. I actually liked using it this way as it was gentle yet effective, and left my skin feeling soft and lightly buffed. I didn't feel that it really made my skin 'glow' like other scrubs I had previously used but I definitely liked the product itself but may try one of the other types of scrubs they released with this one.

One of the main things I didn't like about the product was the smell it was sweet but with a bit of a tangy side maybe this has to do with the grapeseed oil? Its not horrible just a bit unusual.

Overall the product is nice and a great gentle scrub when following the instructions, would love of them to maybe put it into a tube style packaging for ease of use.

Tips: Just wet your fingertips and use a slow circular motion to buff into your skin until the sugar melts away.

And glow it does!!!

I was pleasantly surprised that the granules in this sugar scrub were very fine. I had pictured large chunks of coarse sugar and wasn’t sure how my face would cope, but this was very fine sugar, similar to caster sugar.

The felt gentle on my face and neck, yet still like it was doing the job. When I rinsed the product away I was pleased to feel how smooth my skin was. I also felt like my make up looked better on my skin as it had a smoother surface to go on to.

The smell could be better. I am used to a sweet smelling caramel face scrub and this was a little citrus like, but not unpleasant.

Overall I really liked this product and would purchase it again when I run out. The product is reasonably priced I think being a drugstore brand, but you also need little product so it would last a long time.

Tips: Some days I used the scrub and took it down my neck also. I found this was really nice to do sometimes in the evenings before putting on my rosehip oil before bed.

Smells so Good!!

First thing I noticed was the packaging, it is very pretty and really sturdy which i would expect from loreal, Secondly the fragrance of this scrub is sooooo good, its beautiful and citrusy which which provides the perfect morning pick me up. I have been really enjoying adding this scrub to my routine and it is so gentle on my skin. My skin doesn't feel irritated or angry afterwards and it feels extra glowy, like I feel 5 years younger afterwards!!!!!!!!!!

The consistency of this is thick and paste like, and is really easy to apply to the face ( find if my skin is slightly damp it is easier to use.) The one thing I did accidently notice when comparing this to other branded "sugar scrubs" this one does not taste pleasant at all.

Overall I feel like my makeup applies better and I feel like my skin appears so much healthier after using the scrub.

Definitely my cup of (sweet) tea

As a long-term L'Oreal Paris Revitalift fan, and recent lover of it's clay charcoal scrub, I was very happy to receive this L'Oreal facial scrub. Housed in a weighty glass jar, the finely-grained sugar and oil scrub, has an earthy scent reminiscent of freshly-cut grass and squeezed citrus fruit. The scrub feels nourishing with a noticeably non-greasy feel from the grapeseed and monoi oils. The finely milled sugar and acai powder provide the perfect level of abrasiveness without being harsh, and partner well with the oils. I used this four times over the last week, luxuriating in its sweet softness (like touching a kitten's belly), with only a quick rinse afterwards. My glowing face felt soaked in softness, and my nose inhaled that lemon iced tea (scent) like a thirsty Southern Belle. The packaging suggests using it as a lip scrub (don't ingest). I have loved other sugar-based lip scrubs previously and this was no exception. It worked really well as a lip scrub, something very necessary in this age of matte lip colours, with the added lubrication of the oils. Everybody loves a good beauty multi-tasker!

Tips: Use only a little as it is a very effective exfoliator, despite its sweet appearance, and don't, definitely don't, wash off thoroughly. You want that lovely oily goodness steeping into your silky face. Please use on your lips- they will feel (silk) pillowy!

Glowy goodness

I received the Glow face scrub and was not disappointed! The packaging is a pretty stock standard L'Oréal box with a lovely glass jar for the product. The scrub itself is like a grainy sugary caramel, smell is very subtle and a little orangey. When I used it I was a little worried as it made my skin go a deep orange/brown colour like a fake tan when worked in. It doesn't feel rough or Sand papery like some scrubs do, it was very pleasant to use. Went on very easily and wasn't the need to use too much. A little went a long way. Straight after my skin felt softer and smooth and my night cream went on like a dream! The next day without any prompts I was told my skin was looking amazing and had a glow! I love this product and will definitely keep using. After using three times I felt that my skin was definitely softer and the pores less noticeable.

Tips: Don't use a white facecloth to remove it it did colour it a little but it seems to have washed out mostly.
