[ad#Ad Block Posts Floats Left]St Ives Apricot Scrub seems to be one of those products that people keep coming back to as the best blackhead remover for the price.

Maybe because it was their first facial scrub product in the days when they didn’t have much money left over at the end of the week for skincare products.

After a while, they graduated to more expensive, top brand name products when they had the cash to do so but found that they got just as good results with St Ives!

————-Branded as capturing a centuries old Swiss secret for smooth and glowing skin, St Ives Apricot Scrub contains natural exfoliating granules and Salicylic Acid to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, dirt and oil that can block pores causing blackheads that spoil the complexion or even infections caused by the bacteria that invade the pores along with these dead skin cells and debris. This makes it really effective as a blackhead remover.

This product is really easy to use and after moistening your face and hands, simply apply a small amount to your moistened fingertips. Using gentle, circular motions, concentrating on those problem areas around the T zone, massage for about one minute. Rinse well with tepid water, pat dry and follow with your normal toner and moisturizer. The product can be safely stored at room temperature.

Many commenters have reported that St Ives Apricot scrub is particularly good for getting rid of those flakes that can appear, spoiling the look of make-up which only makes this flaking look worse. One comment I read reported that:-

“I don’t even need to use the face peels you can buy that are pretty expensive if I use the apricot scrub.”

[ad#Ad Block Posts Float Right]Many reviewers commented on the lovely smell of the product which makes you feel better for a start! However, the general feeling is that you should use caution about how often you use the product.

Overuse can make your skin more oily and if you have very sensitive skin, the exfoliating granules are quite coarse which could irritate or scratch very delicate skin. Once or twice a week would probably be right for most users.

During the winter cold and windy weather, this is a product that it is better to use as part of your night time cleansing routine once a week.

The reason for this is that your skin will be able to reabsorb moisture whilst you sleep if you moisturize right after application as some reviewers reported that their skin felt a little dry and tight after using this St Ives scrub.

Obviously, what we put on our skin is just as important as what we put into our bodies. One reviewer commented:-

“This is a great scrub, at a great price. I stopped using it for a while because they had parabens in it, but just recently they took the parabens out!”

Overall, this product gives great results and has natural ingredients including Apricot, Willow Chamomile, Sunflower, Primula and Sambucus Nigra flower extracts which people really like using on their skin and which have proven beneficial effects on the skin. St Ives is, in my opinion, the very best blackhead remover for the price and this is shown by the many, many happy customers who have reviewed the product and keep coming back to it time after time.
