Product Information

Grainy or "mechanical" scrub is applied manually using circular movements on the skin to exfoliate it. It is recommended that dry skin use gentle formulas with very thin grains. In general I feel that it is a pretty regular face scrub, I didn’t feel a “wow” factor since it didn’t make my skin very soft like I was expecting it to, but at the end of the day it is not a terrible face scrub, I just wished it would have been a little easier to handle. Apply a dab of your facial scrub on a cleansed and damp skin. Spread the texture all over your face with gentle and circular movements. This will gently exfoliate, stimulate the microcirculation and cell regeneration. Avoid the eye contour area, which is too sensitive for a facial scrub. A facial scrub is an exfoliating treatment that removes imperfections and dead cells from the skin's surface, unlike a mask, which is left on the skin to obtain results. Generally, we do not leave a scrub on the skin, it is advised to make circular movements on the whole face and then rinse it.

The ideal moment to get a facial scrub is the evening, after removing the make-up as a purifying action. To enhance the radiance of your skin, it is recommended to apply the facial scrub in the morning after getting your skin cleansed. If you have a dull complexion, a tired skin, the facial scrub will be a true ally. Facial scrubs are good for the skin. This allows to clean it, by eliminating the impurities and dead cells present on its surface. As the face is a sensitive area, it is recommended to use gentle scrubs. The face skin being thin, repeating movements with too much pressure can sometimes be harsh on the skin and irritatingFinally, apply your moisturizer or mask. It is very important to moisturize and/or nourish your skin right after getting a facial scrub. And as a last thing, this product didn’t seem to make me breakout, which means that it is probably good for sensitive skin. For mixed and oily skin, apply L 'Émulsion Visage Supernature or La Crème Visage Supernature. This anti-blemish line is enriched with plant salicylic acid, a BHA extracted from wintergreen, which refines skin texture and helps treat spots, redness and small imperfections. The only way I managed to break it apart properly was adding water to the actual product which is not really mentioned in the instructions. So don’t struggle like me and do that right away lol. After I rinsed it off I did notice that it left my skin feeling extremely oily, so I had to follow up with my everyday cleanser to fix that.

Once the scrub is done, moisturize your skin to soothe it and allow it to better assimilate the active ingredients it needs. I thought this was a solid month for GlossyBox! The highlight for me was Byroe’s gel cleanser. I absolutely love gel products, and it cleanses well without stripping my skin dry. The face scrub from Huygens is also a wonderful product that feels great on my skin and leaves it feeling smooth and refreshed afterward. I was pleasantly surprised when it came to the Tangle Teezer brush because it does work for my hair in certain situations. Milk Makeup’s mascara is incredible, especially for when you want to create a bold, dramatic look, and it’s great to have on hand. Lastly, the Real Her bronzer works more as a highlighter than a bronzer for me personally, but the quality is great. Overall, this was a good box with a variety of products, from skincare, to makeup, to haircare. Truly a great balance, and the value is there. Make sure to have your skin cleansed beforehand. For a better application, apply the facial scrub on a damp skin. Massage your face gently, with circular movements without rubbing.

A scrub should not be done more than twice a week. Although exfoliation is beneficial for the skin of the face, if it is done too frequently, it could sensitize the skin. It is important not to exceed two applications per week. Coarse-grained scrubs, such as salt, sugar, sand and crushed fruit stones, are generally suitable for the body. Chemical scrubs can be formulated with fruit acids, enzymes or salicylic acid, which will dissolve dead skin cells without the need to scrub.
