Skinfood Exfoliating Scrub Review

This is a fantastic exfoliator. The walnut shell feels great on my skin - like you're getting a really good, deep scrub. It instantly makes my skin feels clean, which is exactly what I need after a long day! My husband has started using it recently too, and raves about it. At this stage there is nothing I would change about it - occasionally my skin feels a bit dry, but a small amount of the Skinfood Light Moisturiser fixes that.

When I saw in the BRBB that quite a few people got this product I really wanted to purchase this. I received the Cleanses All Cleanser in the BRBB so I picked this up the next time that I went to the supermarket. The Skinfood products are all very reasonably priced around $10 so it doesn't hurt the bank too much to pop one of these into your trolley every now and again.

The packaging for this is very simple and doesn't feel cheap at all which is nice. It is in a white tube with a flip top lid at the bottom. I love the skinfood logo in green, so modern and cute. The tube is squeezy so easy to get all of the product out.

The product itself is a thick cream with the exfoliating 'bits' in it. I really like that the bits are walnut shell so are really natural and you don't have to worry about them getting into the eco-system. The scent is quite nice and I really like the lime in it, quite refreshing. Nothing about this feels cheap. I like this a lot as you can decide how exfoliating you want it to be by how much you scrub it into your skin. Once you wash this off it doesn't leave any residue, makes your skin feel really nice and clean. I really like that it doesn't make your skin feel stripped.

Overall I am extremely impressed with this product, and I can't wait to try more from the Skinfood range. Thanks BR for introducing me to it.

This exfoliating scrub is so lovely and gentle on skin. NZ made, paraben free. It did not dry my skin, deeply clean my skin, leaving it clean and refreshed. I love the nice smell of it. It is much better than St Ives scrub. Not harsh on skin (natural ingredients) and still exfoliate the skin incredibly well. LOVE Skinfood products

So this was a product i picked up in the latest beauty vault, after i had received the cleanser in the March BRBB.I have to admit, i just wanted to get it so i could use this in conjunction with the cleanser, and the mud mask which i already own, just because i like trying products that are meant to be used in conjunction with each other.

The exfoliating scrub comes in the same packaging as the majority of the skin food products. A white soft plastic, squeeze tube. It has a flat flip top lid, so this product sits nicely pretty much anywhere. It has a simplistic design, just the white tube, with the green skin food logo, and a little bit of writing.

The exfoliating scrub is lovely. It has a slight fresh citrus smell to it, which i love. The scrub it slightly thick, and holds it shape nicely. Its a slight cream colour, and is speckled with tiny exfoliating walnut pieces, which i think is awesome. Its amazing that skin food uses an exfoliator that won't harm the environment.

This scrub is easy to use, Because its thick its easy to apply onto your face without getting lots of fall out, and its easy to scrub over your skin. It is gentle, but exfoliates well, and you really can control how much of a scrub you get. I use warm water and a flannel to wash this off, and my face just feel so soft and smooth.

Probably my biggest positive about this product is the fact that is does not dry out my sensitive skin. I am so impressed, so yes i will be repurchasing this item.

This is a lovely gentle exfoliating scrub that makes my skin feel fresh and clean while getting rid of any dryness and impurities on my skin.

I feel that the price is very reasonable as not only does it really do wonders for my skin but it is quite a natural soothing product that is made in NZ. A product being made in NZ is an absolute bonus in my book. I love this whole range!

Definitely worth trying this product out. I have dry, sensitive eczema prone skin and it worked awesome on me. My bf also loves this product and he has very oily pimple prone skin therefore I feel it works well on many skin types.

This scrub is an excellent exfoliant - it has a nice thick consistency and the "bits" (walnut shell rather than plastic micro beads) are not too small so it gets in there and does a good job; but also not too big that it damages your skin. It doesn't dry out my skin but leaves my skin feeling clean.

It is a really good rival for my previous favourite exfoliating scrub (St Ives Apricot Scrub). It is also a bonus that Skinfood are a NZ company and make all their products in NZ. Their products are also free from parabens, artificial colours, SLS, etc.

I was lucky enough to receive this product in the BRBB in March.

The packaging for skinfood products always strikes me as clean and wholesome. White with green writing on, the products always look inviting to try! The flip top lid makes it easily accessible to get the product out of the bottle amid any good cleansing ritual! The consistency of the scrub is nice and thick and creamy, and allows for it to be easily applied to your face. The 'bits' in the scrub are bits of walnut, and are non abrasive (like some scrubs that really hurt!). The smell is divine , with a citrus sort of smell, leaving your face smelling very fresh and clean.

After exfoliating, your skin is left feeling really clean and smooth, without leaving lots of walnut residue, it washes off nicely.

The best thing ( apart from the goodness of the brand) ? The price tag is so cheap in comparison to this high end feel product. What an absolute steal... will be a go to product for me from now on!

So when I first got this product in the BRBB I assumed it was a face scrub. Then I looked around and was under the impression it was a body scrub. I have been using it as a face scrub only, so if it's for anything else, my bad. The bottle doesn't actually say WHERE it is to be used, so I figure I'm in the clear. On the skinfood website it comes with exfoliating gloves so now I'm even more confused!

The product is a lovely, creamy light brown in color, with bits and pieces of scrubby stuff through it. I'm guessing some of it is walnut shell, as that's one of the ingredients. It feels quite nice on my skin, too. The product doesn't lather at all, but I'm fine with that. I use about a 10c piece size of the product and it covers all of my face and some of my neck.

The smell is quite unusual - I don't smell any of the main products, but at the same time I do. It doesn't smell predominantly of cucumber or lime, but I can get the tiniest ounce of their smells. It's really quite earthy, I think, but it isn't a bad smell.

My skin feels lovely and soft after use, and thankfully it doesn't dry my skin out too much. In fact it's perfect for my skin. It gets rid of the dead skin cells and some of the oiliness, but I've found it doesn't really clear up my blackheads or pimples when I have them. So I would repurchase only if I was really desperate, but I'm glad I got to try it.

Skinfood is a New Zealand brand that I became aware of through my cousin using it. When I received it in my Beauty Box, I was happy to try it.

It came in a box with the skinfood labelling on it. I like these green tear drops that represent this brand. This bottle is a 100 ml. It sits on itself. The lid is easy to open. The exfoliating scrub is white with brown bits through it. The scent of it remind me of kiwifruit and lime. It has a zesty fresh scent. The texture of is creamy with small bits making it feel textured.

I like to use this this scrub when I'm having a shower. I use it on my face, neck and body. When I applied it , it covered my body well. It felt like this scrub is cleaning my skin. I used about two to three pumps of it to cover my whole body. I alternate it depending on how my skin is. My skin is drier on my legs than it is on my body. My face is a combination between dry and ance prone. I was surprised that my skin wasn't dried out from it at all. I also tried it to help remove make up and it did an excellent job.

Overall its made from natural ingredients which is a plus. Another great product from a New Zealand based company. I think price wise it's affordable to buy. I have purchased more of this from countdown on other occasions. One bottle lasted me a little over a month with daily use. Was a nice addition to the beauty box, I did enjoy using it.
