Skin-Care Sundays! | L'Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Scrub
Long time no see my loves! I know, I know... I've been MIA. Life has hit me with so many unforeseen obstacles, and also a lot of beautiful blessings, so I've definitely been focusing on a lot of others things, which I will catch you up on on a later blog post!
Now what we're going to get into today is another VoxBox I received complimentary from Influenster. I received the L'Oréal Paris Pure-Sugar Scrub VoxBox. I have a lot of thoughts in regards to this product. My first initial thought was “a sugar scrub.... for my face?!” Now ya girl loves herself a good lip scrub, but I had some reservations about this product being an exfoliant for the face. The first thing that popped into my mind was the notorious apricot scrub that everyone swore by. Now I will not mention the brand, but I'm sure a lot of you know exactly what product I'm referring to. That apricot scrub is a nightmare. It basically goes against everything that exfoliation is supposed to be about! It is harsh, chunky, and will literally leave abrasions on your skin if you are not careful. I would know because I used to use it as well. Now I am a huge believer of exfoliating. There are a lot of positives to exfoliating dead, dry skin, but there IS such a thing as OVER-EXFOLIATING. The point of exfoliating it to gently rub off the layer of dead skin that we develop over time. The reason we do this is because there is no point in moisturizing already dead skin. Exfoliating correctly can help get rid of acne because it removes the dead skin away that can clog our pores. When we over-exfoliate, that can present even more skin issues. It can cause even more breakouts, skin sensitivity, and even redness. There are lots of literature on the internet about the pros and cons of exfoliating, but just keep in mind that most things are better when used in moderation, which is exactly how I feel about exfoliation and my daily skin-care routine.
Now in regards to this sugar scrub product, I was nervous about trying it because I needed a better idea of the texture. I was pleasantly surprised when I first tried this product out. It was very finely milled and unexpectedly smooth! It has been grind down to a very FINE sugar and feels more like a microdermabrasion scrub rather than the traditional clumpy sugar scrub. With any and every exfoliating product, you just have to be careful about the amount of pressure you apply when you massage it onto your face. Another bonus to this product is that it smells absolutely heavenly! It smells like warm vanilla and I definitely wanted to taste it when I used it haha! I would positively recommend this product to anyone. Not only does it work, but it surpassed a lot of my expectations and the price tag is very affordable. I also want to try the rest of their line (I saw there was a kiwi one!) Thank you again Influenster and L'Oréal Paris for giving me the opportunity to try such an amazing product! Again, do your research when it comes to these type of products because what will work for one person, may not work for the next. Thank you for stopping by!
