Face scrubs have always made me cringe, It reminds me of when we would go to the beach as kids and we rubbed sunscreen on ourselves, there was sand mixed in with the sun screen, sunscreen+sand= scrubs, and it took me a long time after that to even look at face scrubs let alone put them on my face.
I like how Skinfood has a simple packaging for each of it's products, it's normally white and fresh looking but I need to be 100% sure on which one I pick up incase it's the mud masque instead of the exfoliating scrub.
Squeezing this scrub onto my hands is very thick, the beads are large and rubbing this into your face isn't as bad as I imagined it to be. I like to apply this in large circular motions before going in with small circular motions working on my nose, chin and forehead.
I'm surprised with the smell of this as it smells really good, I am not a lime fan but it's very subtle and sweet, there's a hint of aloe Vera which I'm a big fan of, all the smells make a really good scent together.
Rinsing this off was harder than most scrubs I have used in the past, it has a waxy texture which makes it hard to remove ,warm water is the easiest way and be careful not to get this in your eyes.
My skin does feel softer and smoother, dry skin is gone and I'm left with a clean replenished face. I don't have the Skinfood moisturiser so I've been using the Love skin in Ti amo which moisturises my skin really well.
This is a good exfoliating scrub but I don't think I will repurchase another one when this one runs out.
This exfoliator is a great, gentle every day exfoliator and perfect for the face. The walnut shells provide the exfoliating bits and you can really feel them work into the skin and removing the dead skin. The smell is not overpowering but subtle and pleasant. Once the exfoliator is washed off the skin on my face felt so much smoother and softer that it was before the exfoliation. This is a brilliant exfoliator for the price!
Tips: Rub in circular motions into the skin and once washed off, apply moisturiser for the best result.
