Product Review - St Ives 'Invigorating' Apricot Exfoliator

Well hello again! Fancy seeing you here.
Well at the beginning of the month I went to superdrug with my sister Katie, and instead of buying the usual stuff I bought lots of travel sized bottles of skincare products. I don't really know what I was thinking at the time, but as it turns out, it was a good move! Today i'll be reviewing my favourite product of the lot, the St Ives exfoliator.

 (This is me trying to be arty and experimental with photography!)

 I bought the travel sized version as I always like to test the products before buying the full size. This 30ml bottle was only 99p, and I was surprised at how good it was!

 First of all, it came in a really nice colourful bottle. I know it sounds really shallow, but if the packaging is pretty...i'll probably buy it. I liked how they put the picture of the apricot at the top and it looks really cute in my little box of travel products!

 It has tiny little orangey-brown exfoliating beads on the inside and it doesn't feel too harsh on your skin while using it. I find with some exfoliators, it feels like your face is being scratched off because the beads feel really rough and horrible! With the St Ives exfoliator, it felt like it was working without actually damaging your skin.

 It can take a little while to get all the beads off but after I dried my face, my skin felt really fresh and so smooooooth! I am literally feeling my face while typing. Smoooooooooth.

Overall, I think this is a great product which I will definitely use again. I would recommend it to anyone that likes using skincare as it's a very nifty little product. (And yes, I did just say nifty. Judge me all you want.) Even if you are NOT a big fan or skincare products, I would recomment it as it only takes a few minutes! If you would still like to test the smaller version before buying the whole thing like I have, it's only 99p so if you don't like it, it's not a big deal! The smaller bottle is great for travelling or staying at someone else's house as it's compact and very cute ;)

Thanks for reading! If you would like me to review other products, let me know in the comments and i'll try my best to do it. What are your favourite skincare products? Do you have a morning/night beauty routine? Comment below!
