Here's another beauty post!Yay! As I walked down the beauty counter of Watson's in SM Makati and while on search of a drugstore brand for my facial cleanser, I noticed St. Ives Moisturizing Olive scrub. St. Ives has been in our go-to beauty aisles for years now, in fact I have used their famous apricot scrubs many, many times. I knew it from the start that when I saw this olive moisturizing scrub, I have to buy it and try it on my skin plus it only retails for 250 pesos! What a steal for your vanity kit!


And now I'm about to test its effectiveness and will monitor if there will be a gradual changes on my skin's texture. But for now here's my initial verdict based on my first used:

* the little tiny scrubs on this cleanser are so gentle when you rub them on your face unlike any other brands
* the scent is not too heavy which means less chemicals we're used in producing this cleanser

I'm giving this scrub two more weeks if it will work wonders on my facial skin and by that time I will blog my personal reviews. The good thing on St. Ives is their products are all natural, paraben-free and it's not tested on animals which is the battle-cry nowadays.

P.S. I'm no longer using the L'Oreal Dermagenesis Facial Scrub Mask (which I blog last March, 2011 in http://confessionsofalvin.blogspot.com) because its already obsolete (meaning, no longer available in the market), too sad.
