Scrub, scrub, scrub away!

Scrubs are an important part of every girl's beauty routine. Whether it's in the form of a facewash, a moist scrub-pack, or even herbal homemade remedies, scrubs are the way to go to slough all that dead skin away. The key to revealing youthful, radiant skin!

In this post, I will be covering some of the best/worst scrubs that I have used - these can be found at any leading store or supermarket in India, or even online.

LOVE

Biotique Papaya Scrub:

This is a moist-facepack-like scrub, that comes with papaya fruit granules. Smells exotic, like papaya fruit (I dont really like the smell of papaya, but I'd give the scrub's fragrance a thumbs-up).
It has medium-sized powerful granules that really work to exfoliate and remove dead skin cell, as well as dirt and grime. Reveals a youthful glow with regular use and is good as a face exfoliator. I would say one of the best ready-made scrubs available in the Indian market.

I recently discovered that this scrub is one that is used in a very well known local beauty salon for facial clean-ups, and for good reason too. Since it's herbal it doesn't have rash side effects and can be used on almost all skin types.

Garnier blackhead uprooting scrub:

This is THE scrub to buy if you have blackheads! I found it very effective in removing mine. Not only that, it has hints of menthol/eucalyptus in it and gives your face a blast of freshness when you wash your face with it.
Like rubbing ice cubes all over your face, but better cos it has scrubbing granules :)

HATE

Banjaras Olive scrub gel:

I'm not a big fan of Banjaras products, but decided to give this one a try. Not a good decision, cos i spent like 300+ bucks on this product and I wasted it - literally. Used it just a couple of times and actually got breakouts :(. This product is a gooey, olive-green gel-like substance that claims to have olive oil and some granules that help in making it a scrub. I felt it did nothing for me except for making my face super-oily. Yuck!

Will be back later with a list of yummy, easy home-made scrubs!!!
