St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Face Scrub (170g)

Description

Benefits:

1. Clears Blackheads: The salicylic acid in the scrub helps to dissolve excess oil and unclog pores, preventing blackheads and breakouts.
2. Exfoliates Dead Skin: Natural exfoliants, like crushed walnut shell powder, help to remove dead skin cells, promoting a smoother and clearer complexion.
3. Oil Control: It helps regulate excess oil production, reducing shine and keeping the skin balanced.
4. Prevents Acne: By keeping the pores clear and controlling oil, it reduces the chances of acne formation.
5. Gentle on Skin: Despite its exfoliating properties, it is gentle enough for regular use without causing irritation.

How to Use:

1. Wet Your Face: Begin by wetting your face with warm water to open up your pores.
2. Apply Scrub: Squeeze a small amount of the scrub onto your fingertips and gently massage it onto your face, focusing on areas prone to blackheads (nose, chin, and forehead).
3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your face with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
4. Use 3-4 Times a Week: For best results, use the scrub 3-4 times a week, but adjust the frequency based on your skin’s sensitivity.

Key Ingredients:

1. Salicylic Acid (1%): A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates the pores to clear out oil and dead skin cells, reducing blackheads and acne.
2. Walnut Shell Powder: A natural exfoliant that physically sloughs off dead skin cells and smooths the skin’s surface.
3. Glycerin: A humectant that draws moisture into the skin, helping to keep it hydrated.
4. Corn Kernel Meal: Another natural exfoliant that works alongside the walnut shell powder to gently buff the skin.
5. Fragrance: Adds a refreshing scent to the scrub.

Skin Type:

• Best suited for combination to oily skin types, especially those prone to blackheads and acne.

Precautions:

• Follow up with a moisturizer to keep skin hydrated and prevent over-drying.

This face scrub is oil-free, paraben-free, and dermatologist tested, making it a go-to for those looking for a natural way to keep their skin clear and smooth.
