Skinfood has to be one of my most favourite NZ brands. I am slowly accumulating all the products.
This is marketed as a face scrub but recently I've run our of body scrub so have been using it on my arms as well and it is amazing! I love the use of walnut shell for the scrub portion of it. The smell is fantastic to and not over powering. Skinfood always use amazing scents for their products. I would like it a little bit more abrasive but it is still amazing none the less and I will definitely repurchase.
This product was in my March Beauty Review Beauty Box, and then sat in my cupboard patiently waiting for me to pan my previous scrub. When I finally ripped into it I was super keen to give it a go, as I'd heard other girls raving about it.
The Skinfood Exfoliating Scrub comes packaged in a box, inside of which is the 100 ml tube of the product. Both box and tube are white, with lime , black and dark green accents and labels. From the beginning, it vibes as a natural product.
I love the list of natural ingredients on the front, as well as the loud and proud inclusion of the fact that this is a NZ made, natural-based and paraben free product. it looks quite a lot more expensive than it actually costs!
The tube is the 'useful' type, with the dispenser at the bottom allowing for maximum ease of extraction. The cap is sturdy, and the dispenser an appropriate size.
The product itself is a pale, creamy brown, and thick, with the darker flecks of walnut shell easily visible. The predominant scent is lime, which smells fresh and clean.
When I put this on my face it feels creamy and smooth, apart from the exfoliating particles, which are gentle but effective. It feels amazing on my face, and washes away cleanly to reveal refreshed skin that feels clean and smooth. The scent is enlivening. You only need a small amount to do your whole face as well.
I really like this scrub. I will definitely be repurchasing it, and recommending it to others. It's great to find such a quality Kiwi product, that is so readily available and well priced. I'll also be checking out the rest of the range.
