Welcome Back!
With winter in full action, it is very important to take care of our face. My face gets extremely dry in the winter time, dry patches around my nose and forehead. In the past years I would shy away from anything that I felt would make the dry spots worse - including face scrubs. Big mistake!
The scrub I have been using and mostly loving lately is the Ole Henriksen Walnut Complexion Scrub, this was a gift from my lovely sister-in-law for Xmas (Shout out!). I have been using it twice a week like instructed and honestly have seen the best results.
Ever have that awesome clean feeling on your face? Not the squeaky clean feeling that makes your face feel dry. But that smooth clean feeling? Yeah, this bad boy does just that. I did not have to lather my face with face lotion afterwards. I've used many face scrubs and none of them have made my face feel this smooth and moisturized. I am one to use face cream generously because I cannot stand my face feeling dry. Since using this scrub, I've noticed that I do not have to use so much face lotion. It's a great feeling to not have to go back and add more lotion on my face. I am sure that's not normal.
If you are looking for a scrub to really purify your skin while moisturizing, I highly recommend this scrub. I personally do not suffer from acne nor do I have acne prone skin. I would not know how much it improves blemishes or if it even helps scaring. This scrub can be a little rough so gently massage face. The first time I used it, I wanted to scrub everything off my face and over did the roughness. One thing I do notice after every use is that my face has red spots, nothing that doesn't go away after a few minutes. Just a warning, if it happens to you. Perhaps I am still scrubbing too hard for my face or not using a generous amount. The label instructs to use a generous amount but at $24 a jar, I wouldn't use it THAT generously. Just saying. Don't judge.
A habit I have in life is I like to smell things before using or eating it. Sometimes I sniff weird things but let's save that for another day. When I opened this scrub, I literally sat there sniffing it for awhile. It smells amazing!! I don't even know how to describe the smell. I'm scared to say it smells a certain way and it not justify it. To me, it smells like berries almost like a smoothie?. Just amazing honestly. I am definitely buying this scrub again, it's just fabulous.
The only down side - for me- was the red spots on my face and the roughness. Other than that, this is a holy grail. Hope you guys enjoyed my review or rave for this product.
Until next time!
