I recently have become quite a Body Shop fan in terms of their skincare range. I was hunting for a facial scrub and ended up with Body Shop’s Seaweed Pore-Cleansing Facial Exfoliator. I was contemplating between this and the Tea Tree Oil Facial Exfoliator. I found the latter’s microbeads to be a little too fine and was doubting that it can effectively exfoliate my problem area that’s blackhead-prone. At the same time, I didn’t want big, harsh mircrobeads too.
The scrub contains Community Trade seaweed from Ireland, jojoba beads and olive stone granuals. This scrub is suitable for use on combination to oily skin, and it’s gel-based. I’ve developed a liking for gel-based exfoliators. I find them easier to apply on the face. It is soap-free and is said to be effective in deep cleansing blocked pores. I like the gentle and fresh scent of this scrub too. I also like the fact that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry and tight after use.
This exfoliator retails for RM45 for a 75ml tube. Initially, I did find it a little on the expensive side seeing that it’s a rather small tube. However, upon use, I found that I didn’t need to use a lot of it for a full-face scrub. So it remains to be seen how long this scrub will last me and it might just be worth the money. Effectiveness wise, so far it’s doing its job rather well.
